[dyanalee]

We plan on renting a car on a couple of Islands, does anyone know if a California Handicap Placard is good in Hawaii?

 

Thanks!

I believe so. We have some friends from Chicago and she always brings her placard and hasn't had any problems with using it. I think those are pretty much universal in the U.S.

Sorry about the repeated messages, the first two times it told me that I had timed out!!

Make sure that when you bring the placard, you also bring along the letter that is issued with it. By law, those two things have to be in the same place at the same time. I don't think you'll have a problem, but it's better to be careful than have to pay a hefty fine because you can't prove the placard is yours.

 

We use mine all the time and have never had a problem with it in Hawai'i.

Thank you for this post. I am taking my disabled Mom to Hawaii and am planning on renting cars.

 

I always assumed I couldnt use Mom's placard since the handicapped signs usually say "Hawaii state issued placard required."

 

Would hate to be towed away for having a Kansas state placard. :eek:

Many disabled folks worry that mainland states will not accept their Hawaii disability parking placard. However, a Hawaii placard is valid in other states as long as it is current and the disabled person is driving or is a passenger in the vehicle. Just make sure to bring along the actual placard and not a photocopy, and you are set. Also, Hawaii honors out-of-state placards that are current.

Should have said where that came from - website called dmv.org with info about driver tests, placards, etc. on a state by state basis.

Thank you for your input. I was so focused on the Placard that I forgot all about the paperwork that goes with it.
