Honestly, one of the best car rental experiences I’ve had in Hawaii! Gabriel was great to rent from. I’ve rented cars here before, and they would often be full of sand, have curb rash, or show a lot of wear and tear. This car, however, was in beautiful condition—clean, well-maintained, and clearly taken care of. I’m honestly surprised it’s still in such great shape considering how often rental cars get used. The whole experience was smooth and easy. I would definitely rent from Gabriel again and highly recommend him!

This was my first time using Turo and my first time in Hawaii and this rental was absolutely fantastic. After looking through the name brand rental companies trying to guarantee either a convertible or a Jeep Wrangler/Gladiator with removable roof panels, I came across some Turo vehicles on Priceline and downloaded the actual Turo app. I found this green little Mini Cooper on "sale" for my 8 day rental and gave it a shot and I couldn't be happier. The car was waiting right at the airport at the parking garage, no waiting in lines, no surprise fees, just a sweet little convertible waiting for me to explore the entire island. If you're on the fence about renting a convertible, go for it, you won't be sorry. Just note, although it a 4 seater, this car is best suited for 2, especially with luggage. My family had rented another vehicle as well so it was rare that we put 4 adults in it, but when we did, it was a tight squeeze for those in the back, and wasn't as comfortable for me up front having to scoot forward for them. When it was just me, it was perfect. Kcjppk CC a lot to LA Auto Sport was super communicative, even though I had no issues whatsoever, Bren was very nice and responsive. I would definitely recommend them and would rent this car again in a heartbeat if I came back to Hawaii.

The car was in good condition. i had no trouble driving it throughout the trip at all. Because I had not been back to Hawaii so long, I was not familiar with International Garage which was the designated location for pick-up and return of the car. So I was lost in both the pick-up and return for that reason. ( But that is my own fault, not Turo's or the Local Host (LA Auto Spot)'s at all. LA Auto Spot hosts (esp Duhreen) were kind, prompt, patient and professional in dealing with me to solve any problems I encountered. I was very impressed. In the beginning, I did not know Turo was an App-based rental car business, but I ended up liking the experience through Turo and LA Auto Spot. 1 suggestion for Turo and LA Auto Spot: I hope that you can make and include a 2 min video (mp4) clip explaining (1) how to get to the location (International Parking Garage) from the gates (for pick-up), or from entrance of HNL airport (return), and (2) what to take pictures of (to document the car condition, dashboard (incl fuel gauge), relative location of the car parked for return), either in pick-up and return. Overall, I rate my experience with Turo and the local hosts (LA Auto Spot team) 5 stars. Thanks, guys! I was able to rent a specific car of my choice, at reasonable and affordable price!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely amazing experience! 10/10! Hands down one of the best car rental experiences we’ve ever had! The Mini Cooper was absolutely amazing and made our trip that much more enjoyable. But what really made this experience stand out was the host. He went ABOVE AND BEYOND in every possible way! He was incredibly accommodating, going the extra mile to drop off and pick up the car wherever we needed, even when those locations weren’t originally offered as options. He made the entire process completely stress-free, convenient, and effortless from start to finish. The customer service alone deserves more than five stars! We were so impressed that we’ve literally decided we’re exclusively booking through him and his vehicle inventory whenever we come back. That’s how incredible the experience was! If you’re considering renting from him, DO IT! You won’t regret it. Amazing car, outstanding service, and a host who genuinely cares about making your experience the best it can be. Couldn’t recommend him enough!

I had a great experience renting a car from this company! I really appreciated that they delivered the car directly to my hotel and picked it up from the same location, which made everything so much easier and more convenient. After the car had already been delivered, I realized I needed a child car seat. The host was very helpful and kindly provided one, which I truly appreciated! The car was delivered on time, communication was excellent, and the entire rental process was smooth and stress-free. Great service, very reliable, and highly recommended! I would definitely rent from them again!

Jerry was awesome! His little fiat was perfect for getting around Waikiki. He got us the car soooo fast after booking… literally within the hour. He was flexible with return times too which made us feel less stressed. He has lots of tips for visiting the island and made us feel welcomed by a local. Good guy! We’d happily rent a car from him again.

The host and the car were great! We really enjoyed the top down experience on the island and cruising around in the big Lexus. Cong was great about working with our schedule to drop off and pick up the car at our hotel in Waikiki after we figured out our luggage would not fit for a trip back to the airport. However, I wouldn't rent this car again. With all the speed bumps, extremely slow speed limits and rough roads, this isn't the best car to explore the island in. The car also has a tracking system in it, so if you attempt to use any of this cars fantastic performance capabilities, you get a nagging message from the host about it. I'd rent from Cong again, but I'd get a Land Cruiser instead, as its much better suited to the driving environment of Oahu.

I had reservation for another BMW at the start of my trip that got canceled while we were en route to Oahu. I had to quickly look up another car and found this BMW from Eren. Eren was quick to respond and had the car waiting for me. The car was clean and mechanically sound. The car looked great and was fun driving around the Island. I would definitely use Eren again.

Excellent Trip: Returning customer: 3rd time using this vehicle, host and supplier. All went very smooth. The communication was great from day one. The airport pick-up was well managed and the parked vehicle easy to locate, Vehicle was delivered on time and care free. The car itself was in overall great condition. All systems (navigation, Convertable top, lighting, displays and mechanics of The car) was excellent. The weather was good, therefore we were able to travel with the Convertable top lowered almost 24/7. Returning the vehicle, I errored and entered the wrong garage (my fault). I contacted the host, received an immediately response and without hesitation notified me, the lot I was in, would be more than accessible, take good pics so vehicle could be picked up and my normal airport (time) stressors were avoided - THANK YOU … The experience was excellent. We are fortunate and have the ability to visit Hawaii annually. We will continue to use this vehicle type and host in the future. Thank you (once again) for doing your part and making this trip memorable.

Had a great experience renting Rain’s Prius for 4 days while in Hawaii! Rain was super friendly and easy to communicate with, and the whole rental process was smooth and hassle-free. I was even able to extend an extra day last minute! Really appreciate Rain making everything so easy for us. Would definitely rent from him again next time we’re in Hawaii. Highly recommend! Mahalo, Rain! 🤙🌺

This was a last minute rental as the prior rental was wrecked the morning of our trip and we were notified that morning that they had to cancel the reservation. We got lucky that we were able to find this car the same day we were arriving in Hawaii. Car was clean, communications were excellent, and the price was reasonable. Couldn’t ask for a smoother transaction. Much appreciated and will definitely rent again!!!

Top tips for renting a car in Hawaii


Renting a car is one of the best ways to get around Hawaii, including popular areas like Honolulu, Maui, Kauai, and Waikiki. Before you find your perfect Hawaii car rental on Turo, make sure you know the lay of the land when it comes to driving.


What documents and paperwork do you need to rent a car in Hawaii?


To rent a car on Turo, you must create a Turo account, be 18 years old or older with a valid driver’s license, and get approved to drive on Turo. When you’re booking your first trip, you’ll go through an approval process by entering your driver’s license information by providing a photo of it and some other information. In most cases, you’ll get approved immediately, and you’ll be set for future road trips, business trips, and family vacations!


What are the road rules and driving conditions in Hawaii?


Like all other US states, you must drive on the right side of the road in Hawaii, and adhere to local regulations including speed limits, mandatory seatbelts, and road signage. Note that Hawaii has strict laws against driving under the influence (DUI), with a legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit of 0.08%.


Because of the nature of the islands, Hawaii's speed limits are very low, with residential road limits coming in at 25 miles per hour (mph), school zones at 20 mph, regular roads at 45 mph, rural freeways at 50 mph, and urban freeways at 60 mph. In fact, the maximum speed limits in Hawaii are actually the lowest in any US state!


Hawaiians will know that rush hour is a real thing on the islands, so if you're planning on driving in peak hours, be aware of key rush hour times and plan accordingly. Rush hour usually occurs between 6 am and 9 am and 3 pm and 6 pm on weekdays.


In Hawaii, there is a statewide rule that requires headlights to be turned on from 30 minutes after sunset until 30 minutes before sunrise. Hawaii's weather can be unpredictable, so always use your headlights in the event of changed conditions such as heavy rain or fog.


Finally, take note that on some islands like Maui and Kauai, you may encounter one-lane bridges. The vehicle closest to the bridge has the right of way, and it's customary to allow several cars to pass before taking your turn.


Are there toll roads in Hawaii?


There are no toll roads in the state of Hawaii, which makes driving in your Hawaii car rental (and saving money!) an absolute breeze. The only vehicle-related fees you'll need to consider across Hawaii, from the Big Island to Oahu and beyond, are parking costs, which will vary by area.


Do I need to rent a car in Hawaii?


Hawaii is a big place, and depending on your chosen island or islands, public transport options are limited — so it pays to look into Hawaii car rentals when visiting the state. While you'll find various car rental companies available in parts of Hawaii, no option offers the same flexibility and ease as Turo, where you're always guaranteed to get the car you selected and pick-up locations are ample.


What occasions can I rent a car for in Hawaii?


From quick summer holidays to long-term stays, any occasion is an opportunity to rent a car with Turo.


- Vacation car rentals: Live the dream on your next Hawaiian vacation with Turo's car rental Hawaii. Adapt to the island lifestyle in an iconic Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, go green with the Hyundai Kona, or transport the whole family in a Toyota Sienna.


- Formal car rentals: Getting married in Hawaii, or attending a big event in paradise? You'll need a spiffy car to get you there! Turo offers premium and luxury vehicles including the Tesla Model Y and BMW i4.


- Temporary car rental: If you live in Hawaii, chances are you might need a rental car every now and then, for when your vehicle is in the shop or simply to try out the latest makes and models, such as the Tesla Model 3.


- Long-term car rental: Whether you're moving to Hawaii or just exploring the state without a time limit, you can find a reliable, affordable rental car in good condition on Turo. Popular models include the Subaru Ascent, Hyundai Tucson, and the Toyota Corolla.


What rental car types can I find in Hawaii?


Cruise around Hawaii in cars that run the gamut of car type, transmission, and make and model. Enjoy family-friendly people movers like the Chrysler Pacifica, or jump behind the wheel of a powerful SUV such as the sleek Kia Soul.


You can also book premium and luxury vehicles on Turo, including the Lexus NX, BMW 4 Series, and the Jaguar F-Type. Rounding out available car rentals in Hawaii, you'll find electric vehicles (EVs), easy-to-drive sedans, and even vintage models.


How much does it cost to rent a car in Hawaii?


The cost of car rental in Hawaii can vary depending on car type, booking length, extras, and delivery. For cheap car rental in Hawaii, look out for discounts on longer-duration bookings and early bookings.


How old do you need to be to rent a car in Hawaii?


Island hopping usually requires you to be 21 if you are renting from the big chains. On Turo, the minimum age is 18, making it much easier to explore hidden beaches that tour buses can't reach.
