Newbie Kona question. Other than renting a minivan, is there a good way to get a bike from the airport to the hotel?
I took a taxi when i went in 2007.
Rent a convertible? Tie down the bike box into an open trunk? Do you want a rental car anyway? If not, the Taxi is probably your best choice.
It all comes down to whether you want a car while you’re there or not. If you do, then rent one, and it doesn’t need to be a minivan/SUV (unless you have one of the TriAll3). Otherwise, cab it or ride it.
I’ve seen people ride their bikes from the airport to their condo while their partner took the small car w/luggage…
“it doesn’t need to be a minivan/SUV (unless you have one of the TriAll3).”
A TriAll3 case can actually fit in the rear seat of many sedans if you remove the top half of the case, nest it with the lower half, and slide it through the rear doors.

So will a Thule case fit in an Impala for Taurus? If so, I’m set.
i’m pretty sure a normal bike case will even fit into a chevy aveo if you make the rear passenger seats flat. it was no problem with a dodge caliber, and that one surely has no more room inside than an aveo… what a crappy car :-/
Yeah, but you don’t necessarily know for sure until you try it with a rental, and it’s a pain in the ass with the bike in the case at the same time. Or maybe that’s because I’ve only tried it with two bikes in the case + wheels.
I’m pretty sure that a Thule bike case will fit in the back seat of either an Impala or Taurus. I know that a Trico case fits in the back seat of a Chevy Malibu since that’s what I had last year.
