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!
I rented this 2022 Chevrolet Camaro for three days after reading some reviews from other renters, and honestly, I don’t understand the negative feedback. What do you really expect from a rental car? The car was clean and in good overall condition. As expected from an American car, there’s a lot of plastic inside, but everything worked well. I specifically saw reviews saying the charging ports didn’t work — in my case, the charging port in the center armrest worked perfectly. Apple CarPlay worked, the speakers sounded good, and the tires were in good condition. The only thing I noticed was that the front shocks are getting a little tired and could probably use replacement. Other than that, no complaints at all. For the price, this is an excellent rental. It was almost half the price of other Mustang/Camaro convertibles from rental companies. Definitely recommend it!
Car rental was fast and easy. I would highly recommend no issues at all, except the radio sometimes was not working. I would definitely rent again very affordable and good on gas and AC works amazing. Reliable and easy to drive! Thank you so much made our trip
The host(s) were very communicative. The pickup and drop off instructions were clear. It was so convenient to rent straight from the airport and without needing to wait at a rental counter. If wanting to use car play be sure to bring a USB wire!
We are so happy to have chosen Michael for our car rental with Turo. The car was clean, smoke free, and we had no problems at all for our whole trip. I highly recommend using him because he kept me up to date before, during and after our trip. We had a very easy time picking up the car and also dropping off the car. We also got to meet him in person too. So glad we did! Very nice guy. We will definitely choose him again for our future trips and we will also recommend him to our family, friends and my clients at my business. All in all, very good first time experience with Turo. Very happy! 😊
The car was beautiful, extremely clean and even though I had some slight AC issues Chris made up for it and went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. He even offered to swap us out for another vehicle so if you're looking for a great rental at a great price this is the place to go in Hawaii. It was my first trip and this car helped make it special!
Everything was a great. Easy pick up and drop off. I highly recommend this business for car rental.
Car ran great and very pleased with car rental! It was great on gas and perfect for us! Highly recommend her!
Absolutely loved our time with this beautiful car! Owners were super great! Communication was so great! I highly recommend them if you’re looking to rent a car in Oahu!
Reserving the car was a breeze! They had amazing communication from start to finish with the whole process and the price was very fair! Jeff went above and beyond and even was able to return a lost purse I forgot in the vehicle. I would definitely rent from Jeff and his team again.
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!!!
Maureen and Scott were great hosts. Communication during rental process was great and very responsive to any inquiries or questions. Vehicle was very clean and well maintained had no issues with it. Would recommend them.
ALOHA.... car is great, a good price, easy to communicate, and the most important super easy pick up and drop off in the waikiki parking garage. Squirrel Car have so many different cars. on returning we met and have a little chat they have like 60 different cars available. so they are semi proffesional in this turo rental business. we will rent from Squirrel Car again next time visit hawaii, and highly recommend them. Mahalo
The host was very appreciative and communicates when needed. The vehicle was clean inside and out. The vehicle had everything needed to enjoy your time on the beautiful islands of Hawaii. Not a glitch in performance, rides very smooth and spacious. Phenomenal rental process and vehicle.
Very easy overall process, we had the little mini S-Type and it was alot of fun, cruising around with the roof down enjoying the sunshine, its a perfect little car for the Island.

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.
