SUV rental alternatives inKailua-Kona, HI

Mark is a baller. Class act. Knows his stuff. Vehicle was pristine. Easy to communicate with.

Stacey was very kind and helpful throughout our stay on the Big Island and his Jeep competed the whole experience. He was very responsive and friendly and answered every question I had in a timely manner. You can’t do the Big Island without a Jeep!! Highly recommend Stacey. Thanks for everything! Mahalo

Absolute best trip to Hawaii! You have to rent a Jeep & Ethan is the guy to rent from. Mahalo!

This jeep was perfect for those wanting to explore the island. It was much more than we expected. It doesn't matter if you're visitng Hawaii for the 1st time, or if you're treating yourself to a little staycation. This jeep easily exceeds any requirements needed to explore the island. On top of it all, Ryan was excellent at communicating all aspects involving our turo trip. I would even say that both the pick-up and drop-off were seamless. I highly recommend going through him over a rental company any day.

Awesome, fun jeep! The front part of the top comes off, weeeee! Roomy car. Easy pick up and drop off. Flexible and helpful host. Highly recommend! The car has so much power, you feel very safe. And hip. Cause you’re driving a jeep in Hawai’i 😎 Mahalo Eric !

Great vehicle for getting around the island! Delivery was prompt and super easy. Thanks Mark!

Great jeep, and Ryan is very friendly and professional. I would highly recommend Ryan and his jeeps to anyone looking for a reliable jeep to explore the big island!

Really nice Jeep! Fun to drive and Ryan is great work with.

Awesome Jeep, only downside was no ability to play music via Bluetooth.

Joe and Stephanie are the best! Great communication and so helpful from start to finish. The Jeep was clean and mechanically sound. Their personal touch made this our best family trip yet! We highly recommend!

Amazing host and car! I'll book again next adventure in Big Island :)

Ryan was an amazing host. And the jeep is beautiful and a great ride.

Great host. Car extremely clean. Ryan has excellent suggestions for sightseeing and restaurants. Easy communication. Great instructions for pickup and delivery. Mahalo

Tiki was awesome for exploring the island!!! Mychelle was super accommodating to the time we needed and even offers extras, like beach chairs, umbrella, soft cooler, and other stuff too! Jeep was very clean, and we had a great time. I highly recommend giving tiki a drive and we will definitely be using her again when we come back!

Clean vehicle. Easy pick up and drop off.

Ethan was extremely helpful and communicative. Car was in great shape and would recommend anyone on this app to him/his cars.

Car was exactly as advertised. Was perfect for our families needs getting across the island. Would definitely recommend Kea Adventures in the future.

Ryan is so accommodating and quick to respond. I have used him many times and couldn’t be more pleased with how seamless his rentals are. I have a high stress, fast paced job and don’t have time to worry about minor details. I never do with Ryan! He is the first person I call when I need a vehicle in Hawaii. Thank you

Joe and Stephane were amazing. Jeep was spotless in amazing condition and full of all the tech you never get in regular rentals. They were accommodating to any questions and recommendations and made sure our pickup and drop off were seamless and timely. Thanks for all the added help and for the reef safe sunscreen boogies and beach chairs. We had a fabulous time.

The Jeep was nice and fun for my family trip, William is quick to respond back to my messages, definitely recommended his vehicle and services to my friends and family.

I can’t tell what’s best. If Ryan as a turo host or his Jeep. He’s been super accommodating, responsive and kind during the whole process, before - during - after. His rubicon was more than the perfect Hawai’i car to get you anywhere you could dream of. Will always and forever rent again. Don’t hesitate to go with him instead of any other. Five million stars!

Everything you could want in a rental: Clean, capable, reasonably priced

Ethan is the best person u could possibly rent a turo from. He is always on time, communicates well and such splendid rides!!!!

The Jeep was perfect for our family of 4 on vacation. There was plenty of room for our luggage on pick up and drop off as well as having enough room for all of our gear while out on day adventures. Thre ease of pickup was mind blowing. This being our first experience with Turo, I didn't realize anything could be so simple. We are used to spending at least 30 minutes at a rental counter. Thank you for being amazing! Also, the beach chairs, umbrella, and large cold bag were so appreciated. We used them easy more than I had anticipated and made things so convenient. We will definitely do this again.

The Jeep was an awesome choice for the Big Island. So glad I rented it. We drove the 40 mile Mana Rd and had a bumpy blast. Joe was super easy to work with. Answered all my questions and had the Jeep waiting for me at the terminal. So convenient! It was great to skip the rigmarole of the typical rental places. Just jumped in and drove away while the other travelers waited in the hot sun for a shuttle bus. Only notes might be, take their advice and get four-door if you have more than two people. We were a couple, so it wasn’t a big deal, but there definitely isn’t much room inside once you put the back seat down. Also, the gas mileage on the Jeep isn’t great and you are going to be doing a lot of fun driving. So make sure you budget for fuel! But you weren’t shopping for a Prius anyway :-) Thanks Joe. I’d recommend renting your Jeeps to anyone.

Turo made our trip convenient! Communication on all aspects on scheduling, pick up and return, and all questions or concerns, Joe was quick to respond. This by far was the best car rental we have ever experienced and will not hesitate to go with Turo on our next trip!

Great experience renting the jeep - very clean and everyone commented on how cool it was on our travels . Fun to drive as well

Ryan’s Jeep was impeccable. It was well detailed and drove extremely smooth. I had to extend many times and Ryan was very easy to work with. He was professional and polite and never had an issue with the extensions. He was very accommodating and pick up and drop off were very easy! I would high recommending renting a Jeep from him! It’s worth the money.

Marisa’s Kia was great! We were able to get everywhere we needed to go. Would definitely rent again

Ryan was a great host! He made everything stress-free and seamless! He has a great selection of Jeeps to choose from, and they will handle any trip or mission your looking to do!

Ashley was nice and went out of her way to help me on my trip.

Ryan was great to work with and his jeep was perfect for a trip up Mauna Kea!

Great car for driving around the island! 600 miles was definitely enough for me to make a full trip around. Easy to use the service and no issues, definately recommend.

Ashley was such a pleasure to deal with in renting a Jeep. She made the whole process so simple and was super flexible about everything from start to finish. It really was the highlight of our family vacation and allowed us to go places we didn't expect to get to!

Hands down the best rental house experience I’ve had, and the coolest ride! Tony and Kate are amazing people, very very helpful and if I’m back on the island I hope to grab a Jeep from them again for our entire trip. The Jeep we had, Rubicon on 35s handled great with perfect offsets for stability on those windy roads to our destination. The vehicle was more than capable of what we asked of it and gave us a measure of security knowing we’d reach our destination with ease. I do have 4 wheeling experience but the capability of this vehicle will help anyone get where they are going on the ‘normal’ tourist sites. It was perfect for our trek to Green Sands. Just a note to anyone getting this vehicle and have no 4x4 experience. Treat it with respect, your not invincible although you may feel like it. Get out of your vehicle to look around the next obstacle on foot if you’re unsure and go slow, and enjoy the ride.

Ryan was great 👍 and his vehicle was clean and drove like a dream. Really appreciated that he left us rent it last minute! Definitely will use his Jeep again when we come to the island 🏝

Ryan is a fantastic host. Exceptionally professional, kind, informative and helpful. Sent clear instructions for every step and even helped me when I goofed up on my reservation. Highly recommended, you will be pleased. Thanks again Ryan! Will definitely rent again.

Excellent car, perfect experience with renter, will recommend to everyone. Easy going and very detailed communication. Love and aloha 🙏

Great looking Jeep, well maintained and pleasure to look at. We enjoyed driving this car and renting from Rayan!

Ryan was awesome! Responded immediately to every question and the jeep was incredible. Will definitely rent from him again!

Super fun convertible jeep! Amazing for exploring the island! Will rent again.

Had an amazing experience in this Jeep. The sound system is amazing, it rides well, and gets good gas mileage for a lifted Wrangler. The service from Overisland was impeccable. We had a great trip and didn’t feel like tourist, who we saw around the island in regular rentals. So happy we did this for our trip.

Ethan is a wonderful host. His vehicle was absolutely pristine and ideal for our vacation. I’ll use Ethan’s vehicle on my next trip to Kona.

We had such a great time exploring the island in this beast! Highlight was using the 4wd to travel up to the peak of Mauna Kea. Thank you two again for the experience!! Highly recommend 😎

The Jeep was spotless snd delivered easily and on time. Ryan was immediately responsive to my texts, concerns, and his policy for use if the Jeep was very clear and generous. We were able to explore Hawaii Island without concern as the vehicle easily managed Mauna Kea and Waipio Valley. My adult grandson loved driving the Jeep, and the Turo mechanism for adding drivers was super easy.

The jeep worked out great. Smooth check in and check out.

The car was clean, comfortable, and in great condition! Kristin is a reliable communicator as well. I’d definitely book this car again if I’m back on the big island.

Great Jeeps. Communication is A+. Best rental experience.

Steven was a great host and provided a very fun vehicle for our trip to Hawaii. Great for navigating unpaved roads that would make someone nervous in a typical rental car, these roads are what this jeep lives for! The beach gear was a great bonus; very nice snorkeling gear and Tommy Bahama chairs/umbrella along with boogie boards and a cooler. You cant beat the convenience! Steven is awesome, will definitely look to rent from him again on future trips.

I can’t say enough about Jeffrey. Had a scheduled vacation and the car I reserved wasn’t available and he saved my trip. His communication was on point and car was reliable and clean. I highly recommend. He’s the best!!

My experience with Overisland Jeep Rental on the Big Islands was excellent. The Co-owner Tony is one of our finest an Army Special Forces Veteran. The attention to details shows his military training.Tony also helped us plan trips and events. I can not say enough good things about Overisland you can check out this video also https://youtu.be/claqekkR_jI

TK was incredibly kind and has the BEST FOOD at his noodle shop! My girls asked to eat there one more time before we left. His vehicles are as beautiful as his plated dishes. The car was clean and in great condition. I’m definitely recommending his car rentals, as well as his restaurant, to anyone that visits the Big Island. Thank you, TK!

Best looking Jeep on the island (white Sahara)...Now my wife wants one just like it! Tony was super accommodating. This is my second rental from Overland. I couldn't recommend them more highly...

Marla car is awesome super clean supersave me plenty money n gas going Hilo like the wind she awesomely kept in town with me all the way!... I would recommend her to anyone in the island or coming visit the island.... Mahalo auntie Marla

Loved this custom jeep it was just really fun to drive and it drove well. The only thing I would have changed is I wish it had power locks.

Very very nice and guided me along the way!!! VERY ACCOMMODATING! Thank you Ethan!

Mark was great, car was great.

Car was clean, gas efficient and easy pick up and return! Highly recommend.

Very friendly and super efficient!! Mahalo! 🌴🌺

Fantastic car, Ryan is great! We wouldn't have been able to get the awesome photos without it!

Despite being a bit older this jeep is everything you want and expect from a wrangler! Had a a amazing time in part thanks to Stacey. If you go up Mauna Kea consider going into 4WD before hitting the visitor center, maybe ask Stacey. Handled green sand beach (be careful of large ditches) and Waipio Valley with ease.

Awesome car.. can handle anything, great drive. John was very helpful. Thanks man! See you next time we're here

Perfect! Easy pick up and drop off, everything we needed.

It was our first Turo experience and we loved it. Picking up and returning the car was super easy. Jeep was clean and in good condition and we had a fun day. Fantastic Race was very communicative and helpful with any question we had. Overall a great experience.

Tod was so helpful and the car was really nice

Jeep was in fantastic shape and super fun to drive. Blend in more like a local the driving a Jeep from a national rental car place. Ryan was also very helpful with local knowledge.

Ryan was awesome as always! Third trip booked with him. My go to guy for me and my family’s off road needs 🤙🏾. The jeep was beautiful I couldn’t of asked for better. Thanks again brother I’ll be seeing you again soon.

Tony provides a top notch service. He met us after a long flight and offered to get us food as it was a late night flight. The transfer of keys at the airport was very quick and efficient. He is easy to communicate with. The Jeep was top quality. He provided a cooler stocked with water and high quality camp chairs. Return was just as simple. Hands down, best rental experience I have ever had. We will be back!

Had such a great rental experience last year we had to do it again this year and again a great rental. The ability to pick the specific Jeep, super-fast pickup from the terminal parking lot and the personal Wrangler concierge service from Joe and Scott make this the best Jeep rental service on the island. Far superior to the brand-name outfits.

Best rental experience I have had.

It would be impossible to rate the rental through Ashley high enough! Momi is an an awesome Jeep! We are Jeep people and loved having a non-stock Jeep to explore all of over the Big Island! I'm not sure how Ashley manages it, but the Jeep is beyond clean and rides great (yes, even the paved roads are bumpy but that's have the fun of having a Jeep). Ashley was super communicative and helpful through the entire rental. We also took her Traventure Pack, which had all the perfect touches for our trip, I highly recommend it! Finally, if you rent Momi, remember, you are part of the Jeep community...so WAVE to other Jeepers!!!

Thank you so much Tod! We flew with Mokulele airlines, which drops off down the way from the main airport. Tod had the car waiting right there for us, which the other couple on the plane had to figure out how to get the 1/2 mile down the road to the rental businesses! We were able to drop off right there as well, making arrival and departure super easy! The car itself is a dream to drive. I appreciate that you can put it in drive and go, or shift it more manually if you are going down steep roads and want to down shift. The only thing we didn't realize was that 700 miles isn't that many miles on an island 3/4 bigger than the size of the one I live on (Maui)! We had to plan our trip carefully to make sure we didn't go over miles. So make sure you get an idea of how much area you're going to cover, and maybe opt for unlimited miles if 700 isn't gonna cut it!

Oh man I had such a good and fun trip with this Jeep. Besides manually locking the doors, everything else ran smoothly and didn’t have an issue with the car at all! Super happy with the rental and happy with the fast, simple and easy communication with Steven!

This Jeep (and Ryan’s service) were nothing short of amazing! It’s fully loaded from navigation to adaptive cruise control, premium sound, upgraded wheels and tires and even headed seats for when that chilly rain storm rolls in! This thing is extremely clean and very well cared for. The Jeep stands out, is a BLAST to drive and you blend in with the locals. We drove it all over the island and it was everything and more for what we wanted in a rental car! Ryan’s service was also amazing from coordinating pickup and drop off for us, to extending the rental a day for us (we were having “too much” fun!), and his communication via the Turo app and txt was pretty much always instantly! This has been our best Turo experience anywhere and I would confidently say this will be your best rental car experience in Hawaii!

Very Well kept and respected Jeep. Kudos to Fantastic. Drives like new. Obviously driven by adults with respect. We really wanted to visit Waipio and needed a 4x4 for the trip. So glad we didn’t get a beater from one of the national rental chains. Highly recommend this Jeep. Enjoy!

Kona was a great Jeep to drive around the Big Island, well maintained, and plenty capable. Pickup and drop off were more convenient than a conventional rental, and Joe provided us with beach gear, a cooler bag, and reef safe sunscreen. Joe also provided personal advice that helped us make the most of our vacation. Mahalo

Mark was great to work with and the Jeep was more than up to the task of transporting us across the island.

Really enjoyed the Jeep I rented from Steve and Kristy. Beautiful vehicle and loved that it had the convertible and 4 wheel drive options as well. You will love this SUV.

I had an excellent experience with Tod. Super communication skills. And his automobile was excellent. I will definitely look him up the next time I am on the big Island.

Great time. Ryan was very accommodating and the Jeep was fantastic. Will 100% do it again. Thanks Ryan!

The car is great. It runs nice and smooth. And gets good gas mileage.
