However, if you have a larger group or require extra space for luggage or equipment, consider renting a larger vehicle, such as an SUV or minivan. While most main roads in Poipu are well-maintained, there may be narrower side roads or uneven terrain when exploring off the beaten path. If you plan to venture beyond the main roads or visit remote areas, consider renting a vehicle with higher ground clearance, like an SUV or 4WD.

School zones often have reduced speed limits, typically around 15-20 mph, especially during school hours. Be vigilant for school zone signs and adhere to the posted speed limits when passing through these areas.
A great location here that also offers free parking is the parking lot at Poipu Beach Park, where you can park at no cost for about 2 h. If you do happen to park on the street, you will be happy to learn that this is free as well, but all spots fill up quickly, especially on weekends.

Pros:
Nothing! Will never use Dollar Rental again!Cons:
I booked our car 3 months ahead of our trip. Called 2 weeks prior to our trip to confirm we did have a car and they confirmed we did have a car. The day before our trip, they called and said they were closed on the weekends so we would not have a car! They also said they were calling "as a courtesy" and were not required to call us!!!!!! That left us stranded. Found out they changed their hours a week prior to our trip but they never bothered to call us until the day before. And then to have the audacity to tell us they were calling as a "courtesy"!2.0 Poor

Pros:
Great customer service and was upgraded to a larger vehicle, which ended up saving our trip as the rest of our party booked with Avis who ran out of vehicles and couldn't honor their reservation. With the upgrade we were able to fit everyone in one vehicle!Cons:
The pickup line was extremely long, so could have had more employees available. Everyone was nice and helpful though!One location in Poipu

Pros:
Car was comfortable - outwardly seemed clean - staff was niceCons:
Car smelled like cat pee almost from the time we drove out. The operation was very small and not what we expected from a front line car rental company - obviously contracted out. Not much inventory to pick from and I felt the professionalism was lacking - would never rent from them again. Gave us an uneasy feeling in regards to the paperwork we were given in the onset.3.6 Poor

Pros:
Staff was friendlyCons:
Our car had major issues. It was 13 years old with 100,00 miles on it. Windshield wipers didn't work, it started to overheat while we were sightseeing, the whole car would shake violently when you braked and the transmission was slipping gears when accelerating from a stop. It was like a bad joke.4.0 Mediocre
