Top Tips for Renting an SUV in Lihue
- Driving Lihue SUV rentals to explore this city in Kauai is both an expedient and awesome way to travel around this corner of Hawaii. If you and friends or family are visiting this tropical paradise, you can take turns driving, and all of you will have comfortable room to relax and store your backpacks and souvenirs. If you are interested in exploring the interior of the island, with its mountains and jungles, Lihue SUV rentals will give you the power and traction that you need, especially when you are traveling on roads that are not paved. Lihue SUV rentals can allow you to get the most out of your trip to this Hawaiian Island.
- When your plane lands in Kauai, you will find yourself disembarking at the Lihue Airport (LIH). This is a great place to get Lihue SUV rentals because you don't have to worry about struggling through all the cruise port traffic to get to car rental agencies in town. At the Lihue Airport, you can find the car rental agency desks in a building across the street from the LIH terminal building. Agencies on-site that have Lihue SUV rentals among their rental vehicles include Advantage, Alamo, Hertz, Enterprise, Thrifty, Budget, Dollar, and others.
- When you arrive at the Lihue car rental agency to collect your SUV rental, you will have the option of purchasing car rental insurance. You can also choose to use car insurance on your own personal car insurance policy or insurance that you have through a credit card of yours. Some car rental agencies will require that you show them proof of your own insurance if you do not buy car rental agency insurance. So, before you go to Kauai, take screenshots or photocopies of the insurance policy you intend to use if you are going to forego car rental agency insurance.

Also, most Lihue car rental companies will add an extra daily fee to your rental car costs if you are not yet 25 years old. If you fall into this age category, it will be well worth your while to research Lihue car rental agencies to find the one with the smallest underage renter fee.

FAQs About Renting an SUV in Lihue
What will it be like while I am driving my SUV rental in Lihue?
In Lihue and throughout Kauai, drivers have a reputation for being polite and somewhat laid-back. The fastest you will be able to drive on the entirety of the island of Kauai is 50 miles per hour. You will encounter both pedestrians and cyclists on the roads in and beyond Lihue, but keep in mind that many of these roads are narrow and do not have much of a shoulder. Therefore, you have to drive very carefully because you will be sharing the road with these cyclists and pedestrians.
What documentation is required for securing Lihue SUV rentals?

Mar 2021
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:
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.Enterprise Rent-A-Car

Mar 2017
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?Payless

Feb 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 Poor
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

Pros:
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:
