10.0 ExcellentJun 3 2021
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!
6.0 GoodApr 21 2021
Pros: Staff was wonderful. Car was clean and ready for pick up.Cons: Location is NOT at airport - there is NO shuttle. Uber / Lyft are NOT readily available. Must rely on taxi, which is hit or miss from the airport. I had to walk the 1.8 miles from the airport to get to Enterprise before it closed.

Cons: Our experience was great. We were upgraded to a vehicle that best suited our needs at no cost.
8.8 ExcellentJan 2 2019
OverpricedPros: Car was fine staff was fast.Cons: 4 days cost more than bringing it back & getting an upgrade for a week separately. Together price would have been $1500. Separately (2 reservations rather than 1) was $580 & $340. Ridiculous.
8.8 ExcellentNov 27 2016
Good experiencePros: Pick up and drop off went very smoothly. SUV was adequate and handled the island's roads very well. We had a late arriving flight and the office stayed open past normal hours to accommodate our reservation.Cons: Expected a RAV4 - got a Hyundai SUV instead. Not a big deal though.

8.0 ExcellentApr 7 2018
Double price when cruise ship arrives.Pros: Car was clean and nice full of fuel and ready to go. Process was fast and easy. Service and car were great, no complaints.Cons: When I priced out the same car the day before it was half as much. My fault for not reserving it then I guess. I just don’t like price gouging. Even under the guise of supply and demand.
4.8 OkayApr 1 2018
I do not recommend Avis in LihuePros: Car was very comfortable and had no issues with operations.Cons: Pick up and drop off was chaotic, customer service was very poor. Picking up the car took an hour because of long lines and slow service. It was clear they were backed up and did not have enough vehicles clean and ready to rent. Drop off was also poor, the return area was poorly marked and the attendant did nohad promptly acknowledge us or assist in directing us for our return.

6.0 GoodFeb 8 2020
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 MediocreFeb 2 2020
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 OkayJul 8 2019
Pros: Car AC didn’t work, windows would shut, engine check lights on. Staff told us tough luck.Cons: Better car or rate reduction for crappy car
8.4 ExcellentMar 24 2019
Pros: The staff was great. It was a super quick process.Cons: The car was a little older. A newer one would have been nice. But it was still clean and very reliable.
10.0 ExcellentOct 13 2018
5 star servicePros: We were picked up by our friendly driver who was happy to answer any touristy question. On our way to the rental company, he called the guy in the office to get our car ready. The process was very speedy.Cons: We did not get the type of car we ordered but nevertheless were happy with the rental company overall.
9.6 ExcellentJun 23 2018
Worked Out WellPros: The pickup and drop off were so easy. Everyone was lovely The car worked well and was clean. All good.Cons: The price. But i think it was actually reasonable given the prices in Kauai and probably better than most.
9.6 ExcellentMay 28 2018
Good valuePros: Price, availability, More convenient than expected for an off airport rental locationCons: No back-up camera
6.0 GoodMar 5 2017
It did save us money...Pros: ...but was it worth it. The van only had basic features. No A/C in back, no automatic rear doors, minimal driver controls. Battery on key fob went out. Very nice people working there.
4.0 OkayOct 15 2016
Stay awayPros: The people were friendly and helpfulCons: We rented a minivan from this place. It was the lowest line of the minivan and old. I was surprised it had automatic windows. No air conditioning in the back. We hoped to save some money, thinking all rental agencies were the same. We were wrong. We ended up spending more money on an inferior product cuz they charged us to have an extra driver, where most places will allow you to include your spouse. The car was falling apart. the lining inside was coming down and one of the interior lights kept falling down too. Halfway thru the trip (we were there for a week), the unlock button on the remote stopped working. Luckily the key fob was new enough to have an actual key in the remote fob. So, we had to unlock the door manually everytime from that point on. Overall, it was a mediocre experience. I wouldn't use this company again.

10.0 ExcellentJun 12 2021
Pros: The counter agent Skip was more than helpful and friendly and really put in extra effort. Terry, the area manager, was able to help me with a problem, solved it, and was friendly, professional, and just made our experience with Dollar excellent.
2.0 MediocreJun 8 2021
Pros: Friendly managerCons: This car location was NOT true. It said Lihue pickup. It was actually Koloa...a 40 minute drive away!!! We were charged extra fees because there was NO WAY to get to our car and pay for a ride.
10.0 ExcellentJun 8 2021
Pros: They made a mistake on the bill initially, but immediately honored the price at registrationCons: Super easy. No complaints
2.0 MediocreMay 23 2021
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 MediocreDec 25 2019
Pros: Staff was friendly.Cons: Kayak needs to be more transparent with travelers, information and prices. Very disappointed.
2.0 MediocreFeb 21 2018
Pros: The drop off was nice and easyCons: At Koloa, I had to wait 40 mins for the girl to get back from lunch before being helped. Betsy didn’t know what she was doing. She didnt know how to fill out the contract when I had papers clearly showing the break down of my charges. Said there were no full size cars available (which I paid for) when there was
7.2 GoodJan 4 2016
Cons: I don't like being charged an extra $13 per day to add my spouse as a second authorized driver. That doesn't seem fair. The company is not assuming any additional liability - why are they charging me anything?
