The car was great always great to drive a tesla no issues at all host was amazing and very friendly will do business with him again
Nice car, owner was nice and communicated appropriately. Tesla Supercharger close to the airport by Target and Lowes. If you aren't staying at a hotel that has an adapter you will have to use Tesla Supercharger as the car has no adapter with it. Has plenty of range to go over the island and experience all it has to offer! 15 minute brisk walk to car from the airport. Ride share will drop you off if you have lots of bags to carry. We would rent this car again!
I had just arrived from Japan and couldn't speak a word of English, but this person was incredibly kind—using an app to explain things, making gestures, and speaking slowly for me. Since the Cybertruck isn't sold in Japan, getting to experience it firsthand was a truly rare treat. My first experience with Full Self-Driving (FSD) was also incredibly special—it’s actually smarter than a human driver! To be honest, I didn't come to Hawaii just for the sightseeing; I came specifically because I wanted to drive a Cybertruck. Having achieved that goal, I left feeling completely satisfied with my trip. A huge thank you to Moki Rent-a-Car! I look forward to renting from you again the next time I visit Hawaii.
Absolutely amazing!!! Great customer service, friendly, smooth experience. We were first time Tesla drivers and I recommend anybody who has not driven a Tesla to rent this car. Our eyes are open to the future of electric cars because of this rental! have fun and enjoy!
The best car you can rent for the price in Honolulu. New, clean and has FSD! Host gave detailed instructions as well.
Gary was great to rent from! The Tesla Y was clean, smooth, and super fun to drive. Everything worked perfectly and the car was in great condition. Pickup and drop off were both very easy and convenient, which made the whole experience stress-free. Overall, really happy with the car and would definitely rent from Gary again!
My wife and I and two kids age 13 16 travel to beautiful princeville Kauai. We stayed at the West in princeville. Before the trip we decided to rent a Tesla because my wife was in the market we hesitated because we weren't sure there were chargers on the island. As it turns out, the charge point charger at the West in princeville was super. It was free. Yes completely free. There were four chargers and there are not many electric vehicles on the island so we never had any issue getting a spot and a free charge. We drove from the north part of the island in hanalei Bay all the way to poipu and back on one charge. I bet we saved about a hundred bucks in gas for the trip. Easy. The model Y is spacious. We had the four of us plus we stopped at foodland and got it 5 lb of poke of course. And all the supplies for 6-day vacation in the car along with our carry-on bags.. there is the trunk and also the frunk. One of the best parts was the immediate communication from Francisco and Martin, I couldn't locate the charging adapter in the vehicle. They responded quickly. All things settle quickly. The car ran great. It's a Tesla so it's bulletproof. No worries about breaking down. When we arrived at the island, we were a bit early and they accommodated us by getting the car to the toril lot quickly. And on return we were of course late to the airport and they completely understood. Yes, I left my hiking shoes in the car and martined graciously FedExed them home. The charge points used to work great. It took about 7 hours to completely charge the car, there are no super fast chargers on Kauai. I don't know if the free charge point was only at the Westin or throughout the island of Kauai. Overall top marks will definitely rent the model y again. Yes Santa's bringing the model y for Christmas for my wife.
The car was amazing! Definitely recommend to anyone wanting to rent a Tesla. Wagner was very helpful all the way through and gave many tips! Obrigado!
Car was clean, in good condition and just what I expected. Came with an adapter to use with non-Tesla chargers like at our condo. Met our needs perfectly. Be sure to watch the return video. HNL airport is very confusing when it comes to traffic flow.
Loved this car! With all the short on ramps, you need something that can go. We used the mobile charger that was provided so we could simply charge when we were at home. The car was well kept, clean, exactly as advertised. Curtis was very responsive when we had question prior to our arrival. We will definitely rent from Curtis again!
Great host. Communicative and very great with work with. Car drove really nicely. Will rent again when I come back. Five stars all the way.
