KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Kailua
- Visitors should consider renting a car since having rental cars in Kailua will help them explore the area and make day trips to nearby places like Honolulu. Kailua is a great place for people interested in outdoor activities such as hiking, kayaking, and snorkeling. With your rental car in Kailua, you can visit Ahupua'a O Kahana State Park, about 12 miles northwest of Kailua, where snorkeling is popular. Travelers passionate about camping can cruise to Swanzy Beach Park, about 13 miles northwest of Kailua. Other tourist attractions you can visit for sightseeing are the USS Arizona Memorial, Pearl Harbor Visitor Center and Uss Bowfin Submarine Museum & Park located approximately 13 miles west of Kailua.
- Travelers can access rental cars at the Honolulu Airport with onsite car counters upon landing. While at the airport, head to the car rental center located in the baggage claim area. You can book and make a reservation online then pick up your preferred car from the counters immediately after you arrive at the airport. Kailua car rentals available at the airport are SIXT, Hertz, Budget, Avis, Alamo and Dollar.
- Driving in Kailua is interesting and easy. Pedestrians always cross the roadway within a crosswalk; hence when driving, you need to be careful and stop at crosswalks when crossing. When you want to cross a bicycle lane, you must yield the right-of-way to bicyclists. When an emergency vehicle is approaching, you must give way by pulling to the left lane if you were in the right lane, slow down or stop.
- Kailua experiences heavy traffic which makes driving there challenging. Therefore, when driving, and especially during rush hour traffic, you should expect to spend a significant amount of time stuck in traffic. The morning traffic begins at around 6 am and lasts until 8 am. You will encounter more traffic congestion during rush hour between 3:30 pm to 7 pm. Moreover, the traffic flow tends to get heavy during the weekends, especially on Saturdays because most people visit Kailua for leisure activities and sightseeing. Morning peak times are especially difficult to pass as motorists have difficulty maneuvering through heavy traffic. When driving during these rush hours, avoid Waimea, Kamehameha Highway on the North Shore of Oahu.

Aug 2018
Pros:
That Hertz was willing to work with me, even though I rented through a hotel. I will never rent through a hotel because they have cars that need an oil change, incorrectly write down mileage on the odometer. Kevin F and Jack P took care of me and made me want to work with Hertz next summer when I will be back for another 6 weeks.Cons:
I did not know that the cars rented from a hotel are the second string. Cars that were in wrecks, but repairable. And the help that staffed these places, were unorganized and at times did not answer the phone. I will always rent from an airport because you get what you pay for.6.4 Okay
Jul 2018
Pros:
Car was clean and drove well. Didn't have any issues there.Cons:
The customer service agent left something to be desired. I found myself multiple times just standing there waiting for direction. He was very nice but failed to communicate what I needed to do (sign the receipt, provide ID and card, etc.). It wasn't too bad but made me feel awkward.5.2 Fair
Jul 2018
Pros:
Pick up location was an hour Uber ride from Honolulu Airport. I thought we were booking at HNL. That’s what I booked for on price line. I believe it was their error. The district manager allowed me to return at the airport so that was great.Enterprise Rent-A-Car

Pros:
Staff at both the desk and up in the rental garage were awesome. We received an amazing upgrade which enhanced our day's driving experience!Cons:
The car's service light went on for Oil Chage almost immediately after we left with the car and by the time we returned in the afternoon the Add Engine Oil light was on, so while it didn't really impact our drive, I was a little worried by the time we got back.10.0 Wonderful
