Oahu stretches 44 miles across, and getting to work, base, the hospital, or even a grocery run outside Waikiki means you need your own wheels. Browse car rentals in Honolulu to see what's available.
Turo monthly rentals are built for the way people actually arrive and settle in Honolulu. Military families on PCS orders to Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam or Schofield Barracks who are waiting 30 to 90 days for a vehicle shipment. Travel nurses starting 13-week contracts at Queen's Medical Center or Tripler. New residents from the mainland who need a car the day they land. Recent UH Manoa graduates launching careers on a tight budget.

Honestly, one of the best car rental experiences I’ve had in Hawaii! Gabriel was great to rent from. I’ve rented cars here before, and they would often be full of sand, have curb rash, or show a lot of wear and tear. This car, however, was in beautiful condition—clean, well-maintained, and clearly taken care of. I’m honestly surprised it’s still in such great shape considering how often rental cars get used. The whole experience was smooth and easy. I would definitely rent from Gabriel again and highly recommend him!
This was my first time using Turo and my first time in Hawaii and this rental was absolutely fantastic. After looking through the name brand rental companies trying to guarantee either a convertible or a Jeep Wrangler/Gladiator with removable roof panels, I came across some Turo vehicles on Priceline and downloaded the actual Turo app. I found this green little Mini Cooper on "sale" for my 8 day rental and gave it a shot and I couldn't be happier. The car was waiting right at the airport at the parking garage, no waiting in lines, no surprise fees, just a sweet little convertible waiting for me to explore the entire island. If you're on the fence about renting a convertible, go for it, you won't be sorry. Just note, although it a 4 seater, this car is best suited for 2, especially with luggage. My family had rented another vehicle as well so it was rare that we put 4 adults in it, but when we did, it was a tight squeeze for those in the back, and wasn't as comfortable for me up front having to scoot forward for them. When it was just me, it was perfect. Kcjppk CC a lot to LA Auto Sport was super communicative, even though I had no issues whatsoever, Bren was very nice and responsive. I would definitely recommend them and would rent this car again in a heartbeat if I came back to Hawaii.
The car was in good condition. i had no trouble driving it throughout the trip at all. Because I had not been back to Hawaii so long, I was not familiar with International Garage which was the designated location for pick-up and return of the car. So I was lost in both the pick-up and return for that reason. ( But that is my own fault, not Turo's or the Local Host (LA Auto Spot)'s at all. LA Auto Spot hosts (esp Duhreen) were kind, prompt, patient and professional in dealing with me to solve any problems I encountered. I was very impressed. In the beginning, I did not know Turo was an App-based rental car business, but I ended up liking the experience through Turo and LA Auto Spot. 1 suggestion for Turo and LA Auto Spot: I hope that you can make and include a 2 min video (mp4) clip explaining (1) how to get to the location (International Parking Garage) from the gates (for pick-up), or from entrance of HNL airport (return), and (2) what to take pictures of (to document the car condition, dashboard (incl fuel gauge), relative location of the car parked for return), either in pick-up and return. Overall, I rate my experience with Turo and the local hosts (LA Auto Spot team) 5 stars. Thanks, guys! I was able to rent a specific car of my choice, at reasonable and affordable price!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely amazing experience! 10/10! Hands down one of the best car rental experiences we’ve ever had! The Mini Cooper was absolutely amazing and made our trip that much more enjoyable. But what really made this experience stand out was the host. He went ABOVE AND BEYOND in every possible way! He was incredibly accommodating, going the extra mile to drop off and pick up the car wherever we needed, even when those locations weren’t originally offered as options. He made the entire process completely stress-free, convenient, and effortless from start to finish. The customer service alone deserves more than five stars! We were so impressed that we’ve literally decided we’re exclusively booking through him and his vehicle inventory whenever we come back. That’s how incredible the experience was! If you’re considering renting from him, DO IT! You won’t regret it. Amazing car, outstanding service, and a host who genuinely cares about making your experience the best it can be. Couldn’t recommend him enough!
perfect car for an o’ahu trip. unlimited miles and a price that can’t be beat. only time i filled it up was before giving it back to xavier. sharp, sexy, and gets you where ever you need to go. will definetly rent it again when i come back or negotiate with xavier. 🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼
This car was clean, comfortable and smooth cruising. I would definitely recommend this car to anyone looking for a rental vehicle. The communication with the host was absolutely awesome from start to finish. He was responsive, helpful, and made the entire rental process smooth, easy, and stress-free. Mahalo Barako Garge LLC I will guarantee Rent from you guys again in the future.
I had a great experience renting a car from this company! I really appreciated that they delivered the car directly to my hotel and picked it up from the same location, which made everything so much easier and more convenient. After the car had already been delivered, I realized I needed a child car seat. The host was very helpful and kindly provided one, which I truly appreciated! The car was delivered on time, communication was excellent, and the entire rental process was smooth and stress-free. Great service, very reliable, and highly recommended! I would definitely rent from them again!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had a great experience renting a Kia from Matthew! He was very friendly, professional, and easy to communicate with. Everything went smoothly, and he made the entire rental process simple and stress-free. Excellent customer service! I would definitely rent from him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable host. Thank you, Matthew!
Excellent prompt communication during rental process. Car exactly as described. Was parked very close to cruise pier 2. Easy walk to car from ship took less than 10 minutes.
The host and the car were great! We really enjoyed the top down experience on the island and cruising around in the big Lexus. Cong was great about working with our schedule to drop off and pick up the car at our hotel in Waikiki after we figured out our luggage would not fit for a trip back to the airport. However, I wouldn't rent this car again. With all the speed bumps, extremely slow speed limits and rough roads, this isn't the best car to explore the island in. The car also has a tracking system in it, so if you attempt to use any of this cars fantastic performance capabilities, you get a nagging message from the host about it. I'd rent from Cong again, but I'd get a Land Cruiser instead, as its much better suited to the driving environment of Oahu.
It was a great island car to get us to our church conference and where we needed to go. A few roaches but nothing to freak out about. Would garuntee rent again. Gas prices good
I had reservation for another BMW at the start of my trip that got canceled while we were en route to Oahu. I had to quickly look up another car and found this BMW from Eren. Eren was quick to respond and had the car waiting for me. The car was clean and mechanically sound. The car looked great and was fun driving around the Island. I would definitely use Eren again.
Had a great experience renting Rain’s Prius for 4 days while in Hawaii! Rain was super friendly and easy to communicate with, and the whole rental process was smooth and hassle-free. I was even able to extend an extra day last minute! Really appreciate Rain making everything so easy for us. Would definitely rent from him again next time we’re in Hawaii. Highly recommend! Mahalo, Rain! 🤙🌺
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!!!
Car rental was fast and easy. I would highly recommend no issues at all, except the radio sometimes was not working. I would definitely rent again very affordable and good on gas and AC works amazing. Reliable and easy to drive! Thank you so much made our trip

Why choose Turo for monthly car rental in Honolulu?
Turo gives you car access without the commitment of car ownership — and in a city that's growing as fast as Honolulu, that flexibility matters.
No loans or leases required
No loans. No leases. No commitment. Drive the car you need, for as long as you need it, without the financial burden of buying or leasing.
Flexible commitment
Rent a car for a month in Honolulu — or three months, or six. Choose the duration that matches your situation. No long-term contracts, no buyout penalties, no pressure to commit before you're ready.
100% digital experience
Browse Honolulu's selection of monthly rentals, book your car, and manage every detail from the Turo app. No dealership visits, no counter lines, no fax machines. Adjust your booking or extend your trip — all from your phone.

Who is monthly car rental in Honolulu for?
Just relocated to Honolulu
Military families arriving on PCS orders to Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Schofield Barracks, or Marine Corps Base Hawaii often wait 30 to 90 days for a vehicle shipment from the mainland. A long term car rental in Honolulu bridges that gap immediately — no loan application, no insurance shopping, no registration paperwork. New employees starting civilian jobs can do the same: drive from day one while they figure out the commute, the neighborhoods, and whether buying even makes sense.
Your lease just ended — or you just sold your car
Honolulu's vehicle market is expensive, and rushing into a purchase here can mean overpaying. A monthly rental gives you breathing room to research, test different vehicle types — sedan versus SUV versus EV — and decide on your own timeline. It's a practical car ownership alternative that keeps you moving without the dealer pressure or depreciation clock.
Extended work assignment or traveling professional
Travel nurses on 13-week assignments at Queen's Medical Center, Kapiolani, or Tripler Army Medical Center need reliable transportation from their first shift to their last. Contractors, remote workers, and consultants on multi-month Oahu projects face the same challenge. An extended car rental in Honolulu through Turo costs less per day than short-term alternatives, and you pick the exact car that fits your commute.
Post-college or first car
UH Manoa graduates stepping into their first Honolulu jobs often have tight budgets and uncertain plans. Monthly rental removes the biggest financial barriers — no down payment, no credit check, no loan — and lets you drive what you can afford while you figure out whether you're staying on Oahu long-term.
Pickup locations for monthly car rental in Honolulu
Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL)
Turo holds an airport delivery permit at HNL, so you can pick up your car right on airport grounds. The designated meeting point is the International Parking Garage, Levels 7 and 8, across from Terminal 1 on the Arrivals level. A $14 parking fee applies and is included in your total price. Coordinate pickup timing directly through the Turo app — everything is handled digitally, with no shuttle and no rental counter.
Kapolei
Oahu's "Second City" sits about 20 miles west of downtown Honolulu and is one of the island's fastest-growing areas. Newer housing developments, Ka Makana Ali'i shopping center, and government offices have drawn military families and young professionals priced out of central Honolulu. If you're settling on the west side, picking up a car from a Kapolei-area listing saves you the H-1 commute into town on your very first day.
Kailua
On Oahu's windward side, Kailua offers a laid-back beach-town lifestyle with a walkable center, local restaurants, and easy access to Kailua Beach and Lanikai Beach. It's a popular landing spot for families stationed at Marine Corps Base Hawaii in Kaneohe Bay, remote workers, and long-term renters drawn to the quality of life. A car is still essential for commuting to Honolulu or the base, and picking up locally means you skip the drive over the Pali or through the H-3 tunnel.

Top tips for monthly car rental in Honolulu
Honolulu rewards renters who plan ahead. Here's what to know before you book a monthly rental on Oahu.
Finding the best monthly rental deal in Honolulu
Filter your search by trip length and sort by monthly rate — 30-day-plus bookings unlock the lowest per-day pricing on Turo. Booking in advance gives you the widest selection, and listings with weekly or 14-day discounts stack additional savings on top of the monthly rate. Explore car rental in Hawaii to compare options across the islands.
How to pick a car for a monthly rental in Honolulu
For daily commuting on H-1, a fuel-efficient sedan or compact keeps costs low and parking simple. Families or renters hauling gear from base housing will appreciate SUV rentals in Honolulu. With gas prices in Hawaii among the highest in the US, an EV or hybrid can cut your monthly fuel bill significantly — and Oahu's charging network is growing.
Road rules and driving conditions in Honolulu
H-1 is Oahu's only east-west freeway, connecting Kapolei, Pearl City, and downtown Honolulu — and it's congested during weekday rush hours, roughly 7 to 9 AM and 4 to 7 PM. H-2 runs north toward the central plateau, and H-3 connects the Pearl Harbor area to the windward side. Posted speed limits are lower than you might expect coming from the mainland — surface streets and residential areas top out well below highway speeds, and even freeways have lower maximums than most US interstates. Pedestrian right-of-way laws are strict — always yield at crosswalks.
Parking in Honolulu
Downtown metered street parking fills up fast, but garages near the state capitol and Ala Moana Center offer reliable alternatives. Ala Moana's large parking structure is free and doubles as a practical hub for errands. In residential neighborhoods — especially older areas like Kaimuki or Manoa — street parking can be tight, so confirm arrangements with your landlord or property manager before settling in.
Toll roads in Honolulu
There are no toll roads on Oahu. H-1, H-2, H-3, and every other major route are completely free to drive, so you won't need a transponder or toll pass.
Gas stations and EV charging in Honolulu
Shell and Chevron stations line S King Street, Nimitz Highway, and major roads across Oahu — you won't have trouble finding fuel. That said, Hawaii gas prices frequently top $5 per gallon, so budgeting for fuel matters. Public EV chargers are available at Ala Moana Center, several hotel parking facilities, and along S Beretania Street. ChargePoint and Blink are the most common networks on the island.
Types of cars available for monthly rental in Honolulu
You'll find reliable sedans, fuel-efficient compacts, family-friendly SUVs, and crossovers from makers like Toyota, Honda, Hyundai, and Kia — the everyday vehicles that make the most sense for a monthly commitment. Filter by price, features, or vehicle type to match the car to your commute, your family size, or your budget.
Picking a monthly car rental in Honolulu that fits your budget
Whether you want to rent a car for a month in Honolulu or stay for several months, rentals on Turo get cheaper the longer you book. Trips of 30 days or more unlock the deepest discounts, and many listings also offer reduced rates for seven-day and 14-day bookings. About 60% of available monthly supply in Honolulu is priced under $800 per month, with a median around $1,300 per month. You'll see the total price before you book — no hidden fees, no surprise charges at the end.
Frequently asked questions about monthly car rental in Honolulu
Is there a credit check to rent a car on Turo in Honolulu?
No. Turo doesn't require a credit check to book a car in Honolulu. You'll need a valid driver's license, a Turo account, and a payment method. That's it — no credit application, no finance approval, no waiting.
Can I extend my monthly rental in Honolulu if I need the car for longer?
Yes. If your plans in Honolulu change, you can request a trip extension directly through the Turo app. Many hosts are happy to accommodate longer stays, especially for monthly renters. You'll see the updated pricing before you confirm.
Can I swap my car during a monthly rental in Honolulu?
Yes. If you'd like to switch to a different car during your time in Honolulu, you can end your current trip and book a new one. This gives you the flexibility to change vehicle types as your needs evolve — start with a compact for commuting, then switch to an SUV for a family visit.
What documents and paperwork do I need to rent a car on Turo in Honolulu?
To rent a car on Turo in Honolulu, you'll need a valid driver's license (US or international), a Turo account with a verified profile, and a payment method on file. There's no physical paperwork to sign — everything is handled digitally through the app.
What kind of license do I need to rent a car on Turo in Honolulu?
You'll need a valid, non-expired driver's license that allows full driving privileges. Turo accepts US-issued licenses as well as international licenses in Honolulu. Learner's permits, provisional licenses, and restricted licenses are not accepted.
How does car rental insurance work on Turo in Honolulu?
Turo offers multiple protection plan options for guests renting in Honolulu. You can choose from Premier, Standard, or Minimum coverage tiers, or decline Turo's plans if your personal auto insurance covers rental vehicles. Review the details of each plan before booking to find the right fit for your monthly rental.
Is there unlimited mileage car rental on Turo in Honolulu?
It depends on the listing. Some hosts in Honolulu offer unlimited mileage, while others set a daily distance limit. You'll see the mileage allowance on each car's listing page before you book. For monthly renters who drive regularly, use the "Unlimited distance" filter to find cars with no mileage cap.
Can I get discounts on monthly car rental on Turo in Honolulu?
Yes. Many hosts in Honolulu offer discounted rates for longer trips — including 7-day, 14-day, and 30-day discounts. Trips of 30 days or more typically unlock the best per-day pricing. You'll see the total cost and any applicable discounts before you confirm your booking.
Can other people drive the car I rented in Honolulu?
Yes, but they need to be added as an approved driver on your Turo trip. You can add additional drivers through the Turo app before or during your rental in Honolulu. Each additional driver must meet Turo's eligibility requirements and have a valid driver's license.
Is monthly car rental on Turo cheaper than leasing a car?
It depends on your situation, but for many people in Honolulu, monthly rental comes out ahead. Leasing typically requires a credit check, a down payment, and a 24- to 36-month commitment — plus mileage penalties if you go over. Turo has no credit check, no down payment, and no long-term contract. You see the full price before you book, and you can end or extend whenever your plans change.
