Once you've alighted from the plane, proceed directly across the street to 3259 Hoolimalima Place to find offices for Avis, Dollar, Hertz, Budget, Sunnycars, and Alamo car rentals. Car parks at this place are also the best return locations since they're open even at late hours. There's always a friendly customer care agent waiting to guide clients. For general inquiries about car rental at Lihue Airport, stop by the counters in the baggage claim areas.
If you are a US resident, you'll be asked to produce a non-expired state-issued driver's license at the pick-up point. It should be in your name. If you have a permit issued from another country, say, Canada, you have to show a Canadian enhanced license or a passport. Some car rental agencies do not rent to people who have held their DLs for less than three years. Each company has its own rules, so check their terms and conditions.
It is possible to get a one-way rental, but it is likely to cost more than a round trip. A drop fee, which differs from one provider to another, might apply. To book a one-way car rental, select where you want to pick it up. Then choose a return location that is different from the original point. You might see a prompt such as ‘drop off at a different location’. Select yes and complete other details to receive a quote for your one-way car rental.

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.One location in Lihue Airport

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.4.0 Mediocre

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 Lihue Airport

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
Heather, Feb 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 Mediocre
