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.

Tesla MODEL Y 2026

What a car. I have been a long term Tesla shareholder and this was my first time experiencing FSD. While still v13.2.9 vs 14.3 available in America, it performed very well. Did have to disengage a few times but should be corrected in a future software update. Mind blown 🤯 and it made navigating around town a lot less stressful and tiring. Build quality of the car and comfort is amazing. Thanks for the borrow mate and I hope to be able to rebook again in a few months for my honeymoon trip.

Tesla Model Y 2026

Overall, a really good experience and I’d rent again * The Model Y was basically brand new with only ~5k miles and was very clean * Pickup and return instructions were clear and easy to follow, which made the trip stress free * Host was responsive and helpful throughout One suggestion: consider offering renters temporary access to the Tesla app. It would make the experience even smoother by: * eliminating the need to keep track of a key card * enabling automatic lock/unlock instead of needing to walk over and use the driver door each time * climate control * easier Supercharging management Thanks again for the smooth rental experience. Appreciate the great communication and would definitely recommend!

Daniel was an excellent host: friendly, responsive, and very accommodating throughout the trip. The Mercedes GLE was a beautiful car to drive, clean, and comfortable. Pickup and drop-off were smooth, and Daniel made the whole process easy. I’d be very happy to rent from him again and highly recommend him to others.

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.

Porsche 718 2024

The car drives great, and has plenty of cargo space for a multi day trip. The handling is great in curvy roads, and the cruise control works well for long distance driving (though it unfortunately does not have lane tracing support). It seems (wired) Apple Carplay will occasionally not work, and it appears this is a problem for Porsche in general. That said, when it works, it works well. The host was responsive, and pickup and drop off was very easy. Overall a great experience!
