About the Hawaii Passenger Test
The Passenger (P) endorsement is required to carry passengers in Hawaii — buses, coaches, and vans. It needs both a written test and a road test in a representative vehicle, and it goes deep on passenger safety, loading, and prohibited practices.

License fees and retake rules are set by Hawaii and change from time to time, so check the official source below for current amounts before you go in.
