Top tips for renting a car in Lihue

  • One crucial thing that drivers need to know about before heading off in car rentals in Lihue are the seatbelt laws that exist in the state of Hawaii. Hawaii has a universal seatbelt law. This law states that all passengers in the vehicle, no matter whether they are riding in the front or backseat of the vehicle, must buckle up while driving. Any child that is four years of age or less needs to ride in a child safety seat. Children that are between the ages of four and eight must ride in either a booster seat or an appropriate child safety seat.
  • Hawaii has very specific laws about texting and driving that drivers should be aware of before hopping behind the wheel of car rentals in Lihue. When driving a vehicle in Hawaii, you may not use a mobile electronic device. This means that you may not text, email, browse social media, or use any type of music devices in your phone while you are driving a vehicle. The law also states that you cannot use your device when you are at a stop sign or red light. You can use your mobile device so long as you're doing so in a hands-free manner.
  • Besides all the natural beauty that exists in the state of Hawaii there are also some great annual events that make a fantastic reason to get Lihue car rentals. For about 10 days every year in July, you will find the Koloa Plantation Days that take place in Old Koloa Town. This event focuses on the history of the area and offers Hawaiian music and plenty of local food specialties. On the first day of May every year, all Hawaiians celebrate Lei Day. During the event, the Kauai Museum celebrates the event and includes lei-making lessons, live entertainment, food vendors, and even a lei contest.
  • Kauai has limited public transportation so if you are visiting, a rental car is really important. First, you’ll need a car to get around to restaurants, shops, and grocery stores. Additionally, numerous beaches and some of the more popular attractions like Waimea Canyon, Grove Farm, and Kauai Museum are a good distance from most hotels and resorts.
  • Visiting Hawaii is a dream vacation for many. Kauai’s capital city, Lihue, is home to the largest and the most popular airport in the state. If flying into the Daniel K. Inouye International Airport, you’ll enjoy many conveniences, including six on-site rental car companies. The rental car offices are located outside of baggage claim. Access to other rental car agencies is also possible via a shuttle.
  • In Kauai there are lots of bicyclists and pedestrians. While driving, you’ll need to keep an eye out for them. Additionally, note that there are some one-lane bridges on the island. Read up on one lane bridge etiquette before driving on one to be prepared.
  • If you live in a big city, you’ll feel as though there is little to no rush hour in Lihue. However, the busiest traffic time in Lihue starts in the morning at about 7 a.m., when residents are headed to work, and continues through around 8:30 a.m. The evening commute begins a little earlier than in most other cities (around 3:30 p.m.) and continues to about 6 p.m.
  • 25% of our users found rental cars in Lihue for $50 or less

Pros:

We were unable to go to Hawaii because of COVID. They charged us over $700.00 for a car we never used. I will never book thru Priceline or use Thrifty ever again. Trying to talk to them about this was a waste of time. They just kept repeating that the reservation was not cancelable.

Cons:

Recognize that the traveler can't foresee state law changes and that charging people for a car they never used is both immoral, bad business practice and pisses people off. I will never use Priceline or Thrifty again. And we travel all over the world.

Pros:

The staff member was EXCELLENT and the size of the vehicle suited our needs.

Cons:

#1 We had an hour wait in line (with a toddler) and no seating available. Then another hour wait in the hawaii sun with no seating available to take possession of the vehicle. Total of a 2 hour wait to get our vehicle. #2 The vehicle was FILTHY inside, numerous dings, scratches and paint chips to the exterior. The interior rooftop trim was hanging down and the transmission cut out numerous times during the week; causing a false sense of security when thinking the vehicle was parked in (P).

Pros:

Arrived and Budget had no cars despite us having a reservation. Talked to one person who finally received a car after waiting 5-1/2 hours!!! I called the Budget national number and they said that “ other reservation services like Kayak generate reservation numbers without actually having cars”

Cons:

I guess the lesson learned is NOT to reserve vehicles through a 3rd party and NOT deal with Budget who obviously did not even offer any sort of solution.

Pros:

The woman outside checking on reservations was very kind. The billing was not easy to understand. When you place the order it says you were charged the quoted amount. When you are at the counter they give you an additional bill. Seemed to add up to the original amount but was confusing.

Cons:

The billing part could have been better. The car was not very clean inside but was a good car and comfortable. The staffing was very understaffed. Three car rental companies inside and only one or two staff. Should be one staff person per car company. Very long wait in line.

The rental location is really convenient if you are staying at Kauai Beach Resort, because that is where the rental office is located. We found this rental location on Kayak and thought it was located at the airport in Lihue. Luckily for us, we were staying at the KBR. We did have to take a $20 dollar cab each way. So the deals that were close in price (less than the $40 difference in Airport location vs off-site), are the ones we would have chosen.

Car was picked up at a resort located 3 miles from airport--Hertz office, but no transportation was provided. We had to pay to get there. $44 each way (3-miles from LIH) or pay $150 drop-off fee. This was not disclosed at time of online reservation. Car was not clean and seemed old. Did not have opportunity to discuss with rental rep. as they were busy with another customer. Additional fees/taxes were added, even though this was a PRE-PAID rental that INCLUDED TAXES.

KAYAK

Pros:

They were friendly while they apologize for giving your car away and only having to "upselled" you.

Cons:

They will give your car "away" if you are running late and then only have higher end vehicles that they upsell you on. Happened to several people, seems like a pattern-even though you have a non-refundable deposit -they will give your car away if an hour later than time you designate. Class action anyone?

Pros:

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.

Pros:

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.

Took forever to get car. Had flat tire on top of Waimea canyon. Tire was bald and no owners manual to help figure out where spare tire was. Waited 2 hrs and still no tow truck. Finally found someone with same vehicle and looked at owners manual regarding spare tire. We would appreciate a partial reimbursement for our terrible day!!

Pick up from the airport was prompt. The van has the logo on the side so watch for that instead of the typical white bus. From the time we were picked up at the airport to the time of return we were always greeted with friendly, helpful, professional staff. May, at the return center, helped us complete the return process promptly, making sure that we had no issues with the rental. Would gladly rent from this company again. Thank you Sixt!

A short transfer in comfort to a very smart office in Lihue. No queues and a new fleet of cars. Staff were great. I definitely recommend above some other higher volume rental firms.

Feb 2020

KAYAK

Pros:

Car was comfortable - outwardly seemed clean - staff was nice

Cons:

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

Feb 2020

KAYAK

Pros:

Staff was friendly

Cons:

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.

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.
