KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Poipu

  • With car rentals in Poipu, you have the freedom to explore Poipu and the surrounding areas at your own pace. You can easily visit popular attractions, beautiful beaches, and scenic spots without relying on public transportation or costly taxi services. Whether you want to visit Poipu Beach Park, explore Waimea Canyon, or go on an adventure along the Na Pali Coast, a rental car provides the flexibility to reach these destinations with ease. A rental car gives you the opportunity to discover lesser-known attractions and off-the-beaten-path locations.
  • For convenient Poipu car rentals, the optimal choice is Lihue Airport (LIH). LIH offers rental services from around eight well-known major brands, ensuring a familiar and reputable rental experience. To collect your rental car, simply make your way from the baggage claim area to the rental car booths located across the street from the terminal. Both pick-up and drop-off for all rental companies are situated behind their respective booths, providing the utmost convenience for all your rental car requirements.
  • Keep an eye out for wildlife, such as chickens or roosters, which are common throughout the island. They may cross the road unexpectedly, so drive cautiously in car rentals in Poipu and be prepared to slow down or stop if necessary. Poipu can get crowded, especially near popular attractions or beaches. Plan ahead and arrive early to secure parking. Some roads in Poipu, particularly in residential areas or near scenic spots, can be narrow. Drive cautiously and yield to oncoming traffic when necessary. Be patient and allow other drivers to pass if the road is too narrow for both vehicles.
  • Weekday mornings between 7 am and 9 am may experience heavier traffic as residents commute on roads like Poipu Road, Lawai Road, Kiahuna Plantation Drive, and Koloa Road. Weekends, especially Saturday and Sunday afternoons, tend to be busier due to visitors and locals heading to the beaches in and around Poipu. Traffic can be heavier around Lihue Airport during peak arrival and departure times, which typically coincide with flight schedules.
