Car was super awesome very clean cheap on gas. Host is very good with instructions. Definitely will rent a car again. Thank you.
Great host! Communication was excellent from start to finish, and the car was exactly as described—clean, reliable, and in great condition. The entire rental process was smooth and hassle-free. I would definitely rent from this host again and highly recommend them to others.
We had an amazing experience renting this car for our Hawaii trip! The car was absolutely perfect for exploring Honolulu, and we especially loved having the convertible feature—it made the trip even more fun and memorable. 🌺🌴 The hosts were wonderful and very attentive. They responded quickly to all of our messages and questions and made the entire rental process smooth and stress-free. We would definitely book with them again for our future Honolulu trips. Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The Boxster made this trip unforgettable. 🤍 I rented it for a day and ended up driving for around five hours around Oʻahu — my first time ever driving abroad. The car was incredibly fun to drive, comfortable, easy to handle, and absolutely perfect for Hawaii with the top down. For me, this wasn’t just a car rental. It became part of a very special memory — beautiful roads, ocean views, sunshine, and the feeling of realizing, I’m actually doing this. Couldn’t have chosen a better car for such a special day. 🏝️🚗
Excellent car rental experience from start to finish. The entire process was smooth, easy, and hassle-free. The vehicle was clean, well maintained, and exactly as expected. Overall, I was extremely satisfied with the experience and would absolutely rent from them again. Highly recommended!
Excellent experience from start to finish! Bryan was friendly, responsive, and made the rental process smooth and hassle-free. The car was exactly as described and perfect for exploring the island. I would definitely rent from him again and highly recommend him to anyone visiting Hawaiʻi.
I had a great experience with this car rental. The entire process was smooth and easy from start to finish. Sergiy was friendly, professional, and helpful, and the vehicle was clean, reliable, and exactly what I needed. Pickup and return were quick and hassle-free, which made the whole experience even better. I would definitely rent from them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a convenient and reliable rental experience.
Epic ride, great service recovery! After my experience I can't recommend this host enough. The car was unfortunately not cñeaned prior to pick up. However, instead of making excuses, they got right to work and without asking offered a discount because they actually did care that the car wasn't in perfect condition. As per the car itself, there's some details as with any Rental cars but I honestly can't think of a better car to drive around Oahu. It truly was a magical experience.
Amazing car at a cheap price, Reliable and gets you from point A to Point B on a budget!
This car was amazing! I took us all over the island with no problem! People rent big jeeps and don’t realize the price of gas and have to spend $125 filling jeeps up, this car was amazing on gas and didn’t need to fill it up until we returned it a week later! The Ac and heater work well! This is my first turo and it was such a great experience! The host was amazing and helpful and gave us a gift upon arrival!
Pickup and drop-off were extremely smooth. The car was brought right to the door, and I was even able to have it picked up early. The car itself was spectacular, drove perfectly with no issues at all, and arrived extremely clean. Great price and an excellent overall experience. Would definitely rent again!
Great family car. Jeff and Corrine was very communicative. Fare price . Thank you for making our trip an easy one.
Jason was so awesome and kind. Easy to work with and helped us out too. Price was great, car was great and great gas mileage and nice strong AC😍 Will definitely rent from him again when on island.
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!!!
Great car! Easy to operate and host was prompt with drop off and flexible with pick up time. Would use again!
My second squirrel 🐿️ car this week. Good low cost car efficiently managed. Nothing special, but for the price it was worth it. Easy pickup and drop-off in a convenient wakiki location.
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.

Top tips for renting a car in Honolulu
Exploring Honolulu with a rental car lets you experience the island of Oʻahu at your own pace, from Waikiki Beach to the North Shore. Understanding driving, parking and fuel rules will help ensure a stress-free rental experience in Hawaii.
What are the road rules and driving conditions in Honolulu?
Driving in Honolulu follows standard US road rules, which are generally similar to those in Canada, although there are a few differences. Drivers keep to the right side of the road, and turning right on red lights is allowed unless otherwise posted. Speed limits, in miles per hour, are lower in residential or beachside areas. Unlike many Canadian highways, Hawaiian roads can be narrower and more winding due to the island’s terrain. Be mindful of heavy rush-hour traffic in downtown and resort zones and watch for bike lanes and pedestrian crossings near tourist areas.
What is parking like in Honolulu?
Parking in Honolulu can be challenging in busy tourist areas such as Waikiki or downtown. You can use on-street metered parking, but the spaces are limited and time-restricted. Many hotels also charge additional fees for garage or valet parking. In less congested neighbourhoods, you’ll find more open lots and free parking near beaches or shopping centres. If you’re planning beach days or scenic drives, arriving earlier in the morning usually helps secure a good spot.
Are there toll roads in Honolulu?
Unlike many provinces in Canada, such as Ontario with Highway 407, there are no toll roads on Oʻahu. You can drive your rental car across most of the island freely without paying toll fees, making road trips more budget-friendly and simple to plan. Routes to popular destinations like the North Shore, Hanauma Bay and Pearl Harbor are toll-free, so travellers can explore the island without worrying about extra charges.
Are there gas stations and EV chargers in Honolulu?
Honolulu offers plenty of gas stations, especially near Waikiki and along main highways. For eco-conscious drivers, EV chargers are available at hotels, shopping centres and parking garages, though availability may be more limited than in major Canadian cities. Drivers renting electric luxury sedans or SUVs should plan charging stops ahead, especially when exploring remote parts of Oʻahu. Checking charger availability in advance can help avoid delays during busy travel periods.
Do I need to rent a car in Honolulu?
While public transportation and rideshares are available, a rental car in Honolulu gives you the freedom to explore beyond the city. Attractions like Pearl Harbor, Hanauma Bay and the North Shore are easier to reach by car. For Canadians used to driving in spacious areas, Honolulu’s compact streets may take some adjustment, but the convenience is worth it. Having a rental car also saves time when visiting multiple beaches or hiking trails in one day, and Turo offers flexible pickup options throughout Honolulu.
