ROH §15-23.2B

Rules for picking up unclaimed vehicles from parking facilities

Read the official text at honolulu.gov ↗

If a vehicle that doesn't belong to a tenant is left at a parking facility after closing, it can't be returned until the facility reopens and the owner pays a $1 fee plus any unpaid charges. If the owner doesn't claim it within 24 hours after reopening, the police will remove it, and the owner must pay removal costs and charges. The city is not responsible for any loss, theft, or damage to the vehicle.
