Moniqa was the perfect host, friendly and organized. Pick-up and drop-off went without a hitch. We purposely rent Kia soul's because they are the perfect island car. This car was clean and ready to go for our visit to the island, made us feel and look local. We would definitely book with her again. Mahalo!

We had an amazing experience renting the Kia Carnival during our trip to Hawaii, and it was all thanks to Priscilla and her husband! From the very beginning, they were friendly, responsive, and went above and beyond to make the rental process smooth and stress-free. The van itself was spotless, spacious, and perfect for exploring the island with our family. It was extremely comfortable and handled beautifully during each drive. The added touches and thoughtful extras they included (beach chairs, umbrellas) made it clear that they genuinely care about their guests having a great experience. What truly stood out, though, was the Priscilla’s hospitality. She communicated clearly, answered all our questions promptly, and even offered helpful local tips that really enhanced our trip. Pickup and drop-off were seamless and well-organized, which made everything so much easier for us. We even left valuable things in the car and they immediately notified us and are working with us to ship our things back to California. I would absolutely rent from them again and recommend them to anyone visiting Hawaii. Five stars all the way!

Kia Sedona 2019

Car was as pictured. Drove fine. It was almost due for a tune up and going up Makakilo drive which is very steep was a little challenging, but she made it. The Airbnb we stayed at had a pretty steep garage turn in and due to a thunderstorm it was challenging and a little scary since it almost didn’t make it up but overall nothing crazy. Only real issue I had was that it was in the international garage and we flew into terminal 2 with 2 little ones and 2 car seats which had I known I honestly would’ve found a different car. It was an extra almost 30 minute walk trying to find the car. I asked if I could please be billed for the difference if they let me park in terminal 2 and did not receive a call back until after my trip time was over. I was really disappointed. I always try to support locals being from O’ahu myself, and the lack of communication was very upsetting. I was super flexible when they changed the vehicle from a 2025 carnival to a 2019 Sedona, even though it’s wild to me that they would be the same price. Overall the space is what you’re choosing with the van and it does have Apple car play which is nice.

Kia Sorento Hybrid 2023

For my first time using Turo, Chanyle and Jon were amazing to work with. They were clear with guidance throughout the booking process and for pickup and drop off the vehicle. I needed to extend the vehicle an extra day due to changes, and they were accommodating and understanding. They gave me the directions to extend the trip. Very professional people to work with. They shared the car wash 808 subscription to get the car wash before turn in. Super helpful. The car was clean. It was spacious for my family’s trip on the island. The moonroof was an added plus utilizing the car. The hybrid SUV, was a game changer on gas as it saved on gas a lot. Worth the price on Turo. Overall amazing experience. I would rent again from Chanyle and Jon. Mahalo Chanyle and Jon!

There was an issue with our booking, but that was on us. We had to cancel and rebook, and the Turo customer service agent made our start time later than what it was. I didn’t realize it until we arrived at the airport. Despite the issues, the hosts have been super accommodating, we’re truly grateful for them. The price for the van was fair due to some cosmetic issues. Some scratches/dents on the exterior, and some stains on the interior seats, but that didn’t bother us. The van ran perfectly fine, and the A/C was cold, which is all that mattered to us. Mahalo nui!
