Not by choice but ended up with an upgrade to a big fat Chevy Traverse not-so-minivan rental, and still made it just fine to Hana. What "helped" was 2 days before we drove it all the way around the north shore which was 8 miles of somewhat white knuckle single lane road, so by comparison, the occasional one lane to Hana (mostly on bridges) was a breeze. Even went 7 miles further to Charles Lindbergh's gravesite - a lot of one-lane road beyond Hana, but still worth it!
