The rental went very smoothly. This is the best 15 passenger van that I’ve ever rented or any rental agency. It’s got all the electronic bills and whistles, including Apple CarPlay, sensors, security cameras, a large touchscreen with backup camera. The van is super clean and drives really easily. The owner was super nice and very responsive to my messages.

Stop at the Kilauea Visitor Center to plan your exploration, then venture to the Thurston Lava Tube or hike the Kilauea Iki Trail. The park's diverse ecosystems, from lush rainforests to barren lava fields, showcase the raw power of nature. Your Ford rental's comfort and reliability ensure a smooth journey through this unique geological wonderland.


Unwind at the tranquil Liliuokalani Gardens

The garden's tranquil atmosphere and scenic beauty make it a perfect spot to relax and reflect on your Hilo adventures.


Discover local flavors at the Hilo Farmers Market

Drive your Ford rental to downtown Hilo and immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere of the Hilo Farmers Market. Open daily, this bustling market showcases the Big Island's diverse agricultural bounty. Park nearby and explore over 200 local vendors offering fresh tropical fruits, vegetables, and handmade crafts. Sample exotic fruits like rambutan or lychee, pick up some Kona coffee, or choose from a variety of local specialties.
