Car rental alternatives inKailua-Kona, HI

Loved the car!!! Great customer service!! Highly recommend :)

Super appreciated their flexibility when we ended up needed to change the trip dates! Pickup and drop off was seamless for us! Everything was clean and worked well!! Would definitely book again!!

Kea was a great host and the vehicle was amazing, I will definitely rent from her again! Mahalo for making everything so easy Kea!

Mia was so easy to work with! THANK YOU for a lifetime of memories and being able to use your beautiful car!

First time using this app. Loved that everything was so organized and written out from the start, with no car rental lines.

Robin had car clean and ready to go on time and was super accommodating on picking the car back up from us at another car rental service in town.

Rosbel is always easy to work with. I would highly recommend him to the Turo world.

Katrina was awesome to work with. Very responsive and made our trip super easy. We even found a bag of beautiful fruit from her yard that she left for us when we picked up the car. The Flex was terrific for trips to the beach with chairs, coolers and boogie boards. Will definitely rent from Katrina again.

Rosbel was soooo awesome! He had no problem dropping off and picking up the vehicle and it was so convenient! Loved it so much! Got to go see parts of the island and felt very safe in the vehicle! Such a smooth transaction.

Mahalo drive in Hawaii! You guys really showed me the island hospitality and the true aloha spirit just in time for the holidays! You accommodated my last minute travel dates and made my Christmas trip possible with my family after a crazy year we all didn’t see coming! The car was clean and sanitized and most important safe for me and my children! I’ve been renting vehicles from you guys for almost over 2 years and you guys are my go to on the big island! Be back soon! I highly recommend anyone travel to Kona to rent from Todd and Drive in Hawaii!

John Mark was friendly and helpful. No better place than Hawaii for a convertible! Thanks JM.

Good, reliable, clean vehicle!

Great experience all around - Ethan is truly an all star host!! Was accommodating from the pick up to the drop off. Renting a car to explore the Big Island is an absolute necessity and glad I chose Ethan’s mustang for the trip! Will look for him again in the future when we make it back to Hawaii.

Everything went smoothly. Patrick was very accommodating and communication was good. Will book again.

Engene is a great host! Would definitely recommend him to anyone who wants to rent a car in Kona!

the communication was really easy, the car in a very good condition i’d rent a car once again from Namho :)

Gus made our car rental experience in Big Island very smooth and easy! The car was in great condition, very good on gas and Gus was prompt with communication. We also made our booking last minute and Gus was very accommodating.

Anyone on the Big Island looking to rent a car, I would recommend Jonathan! He was excellent to work with and the car was perfect!

Thank you Ethan! It couldn’t have been easier to rent a car from you and the car ran perfectly! Thanks for your flexibility and great service.

Perfect car for this beautiful and sunny place. Mia was very flexible and helpful. I definitely recommend renting this car!

This family was wonderful to work with. Great communication and nice to have flexibility when we needed to extend our trip. This is our second time renting this Kia. Did great cruising around the island!

The car was good, we had a great time. It was as advertised, but you could probably get a better car for the price we paid (but again, we were renting for the christmas and New year period- so probably paid an inflated price)

It was an awesome experience! I got the car delivered and picked up from my address for free. It was super easy to rent a car and I had no problem at all.

Jay and his wife both made us feel so welcome in Hawaii. It was our first time visiting the island and Jay gave us a list of fun things to do on our trip. The car was amazing too. Best way too are Hawaii in a Mustang convertible! Thank you Jay for making our vacation one to remember!

This was the second time we have rented from Ethan and he makes pick-up and drop-off about as aasy as can be. We look forward to working with him again in February. Thank you! Scott and Ann

John Mark was a great Turo host. He dropped the car off at the airport for us, even though that was not the delivery spot, the car had a mechanical problem, and John Mark went out of his way to ensure that we were taken care of. Great and professional service, and John Mark was very accommodating. Thank you again John Mark!

Tod was truly helpful and a great person to rent my first vehicle from. He is very understanding and was such a warm welcome to the island.. will definitely be back!

Volodymyr is a great host. Very flexible and understanding. Very Clean car and reasonable pricing.

I have rented many cars in the past but I have to say this was the best experience I have had. He was very friendly knowledgeable of the island and the vehicle was in great shape drove well and was very clean. I have zero complaints five stars all day long.

Gus was flexible about having to move my drop of date and time more than once, and very helpful with the pick up and drop off of the vehicle. The car was very clean and drove the best of any Turo rental car I've had so far.

Second time renting with Rosbel!! Always a great Host! Cars is always smelling fresh and clean.. Thank you..

Karlynne and Zach have been a great host! Car is in good condition! Thanks for the ride to the airport after dipped the car :)

Great Car and Teri was super helpful and nice!

Easy pickup and drop off. Clean and I’d rent again.

Tk was very easy to deal with and flexible with our times. The car wasn’t quite as perfectly clean as a full rental car but worked fine for our needs and a great car to get about with for the day.

This was my third trip with Turo and once again I had a fantastic experience. Pickup and drop off were extremely convenient. We had the choice between two different locations and were able to leave our other car at Bonnie’s shop. The car rips. Super clean when we picked it up and the styling of the Stinger is really well matched with the electric blue color. Fantastic control (Brembo racing brakes) and massively outperforms the other cars in its segment (Audi S5, BMW 340i). Extremely comfortable and premium feeling interior, the front seats really hug you which I love. Bonnie was extremely accommodative (and just generally very pleasant) and I hope I get the chance to rent from her again. Thanks Bonnie!

Jamie and her car are awesome! This is a sensible car that is perfect for Hawaii got great mileage (34 mpg). Jamie was both very responsive and very flexible. The car was clean and a perfect ride for our trip. Our first Turo rental! We’ll do this again!

Fantastic! We didn’t think we would need a car and decided mid-trip to rent one. Instead of having to drive back to the airport to pick up a car, they brought it to us and we were able to drop it at airport. Great service and communication. I can’t recommend them enough.

Rosbel was an awesome host. The car was perfectly clean and drove really nice. I had to extend the car a day and he made the process very easy! He’s very respectful and awesome to work with. I would highly recommend booking a vehicle through him. True aloha!

Great functional and simple car, host is a pleasure. Would recommend.

Great clean car that was awesome to have. All-weather floor mats make it a cinch to clean! Pretty good fuel economy, and it's great not feeling like an out of town ”haole” while driving around!

Excellent host. Ethan made my trip prefect

Thanks for your nice and reliable car Randy, we really enjoyed it!

hassle free rental. nice car. ill rent again

We decided to rent the suburu through overisland llc. We got in contact almost immediately! Beyond this, he was extremely understanding. We were supposed to drop the csr off at 8pm but we were running late. We gave him a quick call and he had no problem with it. To conclude our experience the csr was perfectly clean and brand new. We felt the true island experience with the car! If you ever need a car with no hassle use this guy! We will be on our next trip!

Awesome experience! Super clean car and simple process, only my second experience with Turo but I'm super satisfied with it overall and plan to keep using it for my vehicle rental needs in the future!

This was our first time using TURO. I don’t think I’ll ever rent again from a rental car company if all Turo experiences are like the one I had with Ethan. We rented his white convertible mustang. He was able to accommodate my family and have pickup and return at the airport. It made the whole process so much easier, especially with kids. We were grateful that it was so fast, so we could start our adventuring right away. The mustang looked like it had just been detailed inside and out. It is a beautiful car. We had a blast cruising around with the top down. If we had any questions, Ethan got in touch with us promptly and his responses were very helpful and thorough. I really appreciated it, being a new Turo user. If we travel back to the Big Island again, we will definitely be renting from Ethan and recommending that our friends do also. Mahalo Ethan!!!!!!

TK was super friendly, and the car was fantastic! Will definitely rent from him again

Really wonderful and nice looking car to drive around Hawaii in -- everything great about it, and very cold AC! Volodymyr was spectacular! I offered to Uber, but he picked me up and dropped me off for free! A great guy, with incredibly wonderful service! Don't hesitate to rent this one long term!

Mia is the absolute best person to work with. I have had several experiences with Turo rentals and she is the best all around. Ask a question and she has an answer or will get the answer. Have an issue, she is there to help resolve whatever it is. Anyone on the Big Island, resident or visitor, would be well served to seek her out, she has various vehicles to choose from.

TK made it super convenient to pickup and drop off the vehicle. The car was clean and comfortable. TK was responsive to messages. It was a great value compared to the rental car companies. Overall it was a great experience.

Came on short notice, also great communication, plan to book with Tod again. 👍

We had a great experience renting Gus’s Ford. Gus was very responsive throughout our trip and accommodating regarding pick-up and return of the car. The car itself was very clean and a pleasure to drive. We look forward to renting again from Gus next time we’re back on the big island!

Great car, the best optioned Mustang I’ve ever rented. I hadn’t had one with CarPlay and the big nav screen with backup camera. Definitely a nice feature. Convertibles are the way to go to really see, feel, and smell the sight! There are a lot of silver Mustang convertibles on the island... if you want to stand out, just put the top down! Who rents a convertible and keeps the top up??? Apparently a lot of people! If you REALLY want to see the scenery, put the top down! Beautiful weather the week I was there. The top was down about 90% of the time I was driving, only went up when it got too cold for my wife at higher elevations and when we visited the wet side of the island because of rain.

Excellent friendly service. Great communication.

I was so lucky to have found ethan's rental. He made the hire process so seamless, fussless and personal. Complete 360 from the large corporates. The car was in perfect condition .. completely recommend if you are in town... Totally a contact to remain in the phone book.. Maloha ..

I basically rented a car that was almost exactly the same as the car I own since I can't exactly drive my Mini from Oahu to the Big Island. Everything was just like the car I already own and love, so this Mini was familiar and perfect for my trip. Unlike my Mini, this one had the added bonus of heated seats which was great for very cold days over in Volcano. Pick up and drop off were not too far from the airport, but recommend making sure you have a plan to get to/from the pickup spot (I think TK offers an option, but I didn't ask)- with COVID, I did notice it was harder to get ride share services at KOA right now (I ended up taking a taxi and got a ride from friends on the way back to the airport). Would definitely rent again!

Fantastic experience from the very start! Would rent from them again. Ethan was very responsive and friendly. The car was great to drive, very roomy and super fuel efficient. They even had all the local radio stations pre-programmed which was a treat Thank you for making our first Turo experience so wonderful!!

Kaleo was kind enough to deliver the car and allowed us to extend the trip as needed.

We rented from Josh when coming off the cruise ship in Kona. His level of communication leading up to, during, and after the trip was perfect. We greatly appreciated the fact that he met us at the pier rather than leaving the car at a lot within walking distance. The pick up was a perfect no hassle experience. We then drove to drop Josh off at his work a short distance up the road. He pointed out a free parking lot which was walking distance from the shops along the main drag in Kona. We drove to an attraction near the Kona airport and then made a stop at the store for some essentials before returning the car. It drove great but unfortunately, the weather was too hot for us to put the top down and really enjoy having a convertible in Hawaii. The drop off experience was no hassle as well. We parked the mustang at the free lot and locked the keys in a lockbox which was provided by Josh and walked back to the cruise ship. Josh made renting off the cruise ship a perfect experience. Having never been to Kona, we did not know exactly how long we wanted to spend exploring. Josh meeting us and the drop off experience let us make the most of our time in Kona. I would highly recommend renting from Josh if you are planning on a trip to Kona.

Excellent host and not to mention an excellent car for however many days that you need a car on the big island. I was a first time turo user and Bryan was my first host and things couldn’t have worked out better.. Rent with confidence if you’re considering turo for the first time with Bryan or if you’re a turo pro and looking for a quality ride during your next vacation to the big island!

Theresa was great and so was the car. Her great communication and flexibility made the rental easy and enjoyable. Highly recommend.

Sadie gave me the best turo experience! The car was very clean and everything went smoothly and easy picking up and dropping off the vehicle. I definitely recommend everyone to rent with Sadie!

Good car and service! Thanks. Highly recommended for a trip around the island!

Jeffrey was awesome to work with! Car is amazing! Great gas mileage as well! Would rent again!

Excellent rental. Volodymyr was most helpful and accommodating

A great and cleanly vehicle. Ethan was very accommodating with dropping off the vehicle at our location. We had a blast driving it - would definitely recommend and book again.

Todd was an awesome host! Super responsive and accommodating. Would recommend!

I had rented Jeffrey's car for a week and everything was so awesome. Jeffrey was so patient and accommodating. This was my first time using turo and I'll differently be using Jeffrey again. No question

This is a great car, rented from wonderful people. I couldn't recommend it and them more highly!

Second time renting from Cain and he and the car didn’t disappoint!

Had a bit of hiccup with the car in the beginning because the previous renter locked the car with the keys inside. Not Andrew’s fault. He was quick with the communication and got us a replacement vehicle right away in the same location. Everything went smoothly afterwards.

Jeffrey, saved my trip to Big Island :) I booked same day as I’m arrived and in 1 hour (at 10pm) car was delivered to me to the airport. Nice and clean Toyota Prius. Thank you

Oksana was great to work with. Would absolutely rent from her again. We had a minor issue during our trip and she was immediately responsive.

Everything with Ethan was amazing! He communicated amazing as soon as the trip was booked. Super flexible with times! Had a flat tire occur & Ethan was so understanding! The car didn’t have a spare so we had to get towed to a tire location. Ethan was so great about communicating! He was very helpful & covered the costs. Would absolutely recommend him and his car to anyone!

Sarah was great to work with. Car was clean, full tank, and had all the great modern features in today’s cars. Back-up camera made it easy to park. Low fuel eco feature makes gas mileage awesome to tour the island and not break the bank. Would absolutely recommend.

Michael was so flexible about extending my trip with his car. On point with his communication and replying on time! Really cool guy and easy booking with him! Clean and reliable car. Very pleased!!

Awesome experience. Kaleo picked us up from the airport and dropped us back off there to eliminate the cost of us having to Uber to the cars location. He was very friendly and even gave us tips about the island. The car itself was perfectly clean inside and out with a full tank of gas ready to go.

This was our first Turo experience and it was much better than we could even hope for, Not only the car was amazing and cheaper than local agencies, it was also filled with little intentions (guide book of Big Island, iphone charger, ...) On top of that, Tony was very friendly, helpful and super easy to communicate with. Thank you again for this very nice experience, I definitely recommend.

Kaleo was extremely flexible and wonderful to deal with--adjusted my pickup time a bit when I needed to. Clean and very functional car. Would recommend!

The car was immaculate! Having an affordable car really made our trip much more enjoyable.
