Kia Sorento 2019

Absolutely amazing experience from start to finish. From the moment we arrived, they made us feel like family. The Kia Sorento was perfect for exploring Kauaʻi, clean, reliable, and exactly what we needed. What truly set this experience apart were the incredible island recommendations they shared. Those tips made our trip so much better and helped us experience Kauaʻi in a more local, meaningful way. Words can’t fully express our gratitude. This was more than just a car rental, it was genuine hospitality. We would 100% rent from them again and highly recommend them to anyone visiting the island. Mahalo nui loa and a hui hou! 🤙🏽

Nathaniel was a great host who made pick-up and drop-off a breeze! He communicated everything needed for our trip, as well as provided names and numbers for local drivers for getting to and from the car and airport. The car was parked next to some local stops (Musubi Truck, ABC Store, food trucks) which was a huge plus as we were able to grab food. We also got some beach gear with the car, which saved us a stop at another beach gear rental place. I would highly recommend renting from Nathaniel!

Kia Seltos 2024

The car was nice, clean and pick up went fine. The car is on a lot behind Target, and the Turo bus picked us up at the airport. I almost left the family at the airport to go back and get them. Im glad I took them with me, because it is a bit of a drive. Its not a big deal, except it was late and rainy. A good experience. I would rent again.

Simplicity is key on vacation and renting a car from Brent was beyond simple. Fantastic people and car was clean and ready to go with boogie boards and umbrella. We will forever only rent from Brent. Highly recommend. Only my second time using Turo and don’t plan to go back to rental companies waiting in line etc. Thank you Brent!

Kia Forte 2023

The vehicle was an excellent choice. The only rough thing about it was, the Turo van doesn’t stop at Southwest area, when leaving the Island. We needed to walk all the way back up to baggage claim area A, to check in to our flight. My family & I really enjoyed our selves and will be booking to come back the beginning of January 2026. Mahalo, Mahalo, Mahalo, for letting my family & I rent your car.

Wailua Falls captivates with its dual cascades

Just a short drive from downtown Lihue, Wailua Falls is a breathtaking natural wonder that shouldn't be missed. This double-tiered waterfall, featured in the opening credits of the TV show "Fantasy Island," plunges 80 feet into a crystal-clear pool below. The falls are easily accessible by car, with a convenient viewing area right off the road. Your Kia rental will effortlessly handle the winding route, allowing you to focus on the lush tropical scenery along the way. Remember to arrive early for the best lighting and fewer crowds.


Kalapaki Beach offers sun sand and surf

Kalapaki Beach, nestled in a protected cove, is perfect for swimming, sunbathing, and water sports. This crescent-shaped beach is ideal for families and beginners looking to try surfing or stand-up paddleboarding. Driving your Kia rental to Kalapaki is a breeze, with ample parking available near the beach. After a day of fun in the sun, you can easily explore the nearby shops and restaurants in Nawiliwili Harbor, making it a complete outing.


Kauai Museum unveils islands rich cultural heritage

This treasure trove of artifacts, photographs, and artwork offers insights into the island's geological formation, native Hawaiian culture, and the impact of sugar plantations. The museum is easily accessible by car, with your Kia rental providing a comfortable ride through Lihue's charming streets. After your visit, take a leisurely drive around the historic district to admire the beautiful old buildings and churches.


Kukui Grove Center satisfies every shopping desire

For a dose of retail therapy, head to Kukui Grove Center, Kauai's largest shopping mall. This open-air complex features a mix of local boutiques and national retailers, offering everything from island-inspired souvenirs to the latest fashion trends. Your Kia rental comes in handy for transporting your purchases, with the spacious trunk providing ample room for shopping bags. The center also hosts regular events and farmers' markets, giving you a taste of local life.


Kilohana Plantation transports visitors to a bygone era

Step back in time at Kilohana Plantation, a restored sugar plantation estate that now serves as a multi-faceted attraction. Take a ride on the Kauai Plantation Railway, sample rum at Koloa Rum Company, or enjoy a farm-to-table meal at Gaylord's Restaurant. The sprawling 105-acre property is easily explored with your Kia rental, allowing you to move between activities at your own pace.
