Kia CARNIVAL 2025

Highly recommended car rental services! Very smooth and easy transaction. Divyang, the host/owner gave us a very reasonable price especially when we requested for an additional day of booking. Very easy to communicate also and is very accommodating. The vehicle provided to us is in pristine condition and never had any issues the entire time we are using the vehicle. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Van was wonderful for comfort for a large group of people. Very easy and convenient to reserve online. Pick up and return process was smooth. Price very reasonable. The only suggestion I would have is to reveal the exact location of pickup and return before confirming rental. We had to uber a bit to pick up and return van so need to plan ahead.

Tesla Cybertruck 2024

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.

Tesla MODEL Y 2022

Rented the Tesla Model Y for a road trip through Western Australia and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Bernard was welcoming from the start, and took the time to walk me through all the car’s functions in detail. The car itself was clean, comfortable, and a joy to drive through Perth and beyond. Having an EV made the trip feel smooth and effortless . Would absolutely rent again without hesitation — highly recommend this host to anyone looking for a stress-free, well-supported rental experience!
