Car rental Hawaii

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!

Great experience overall! The Corolla was clean, reliable, great on gas, and honestly perfect for getting around Hawaii. I had no issues with the car during my trip, and it made getting around the island easy and stress-free. The host was also responsive and made the whole pickup and rental process smooth. Definitely would recommend to anyone looking for a dependable car while visiting Hawaii, and I’d rent again!

great car rental! it was just what we needed for our small hotel parking spot, ac worked great, and we appreciated the slightly tinted windows. It was clean and great on gas. Molz was very helpful, communicative, and pickup/dropoff was super easy. would def rent again!

Economic fun to drive car. Good deal, price below any rental company. Almost brand new car. Smooth pick up, smooth return. This is how private business should look like. Mahalo

Great price, curbside service, good communication. Great car for a short HNL trip!

Absolutely loved our time with this beautiful car! Owners were super great! Communication was so great! I highly recommend them if you’re looking to rent a car in Oahu!

Great car with easy access! Will rent a car from them for sure!

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.

Jerry was awesome! His little fiat was perfect for getting around Waikiki. He got us the car soooo fast after booking… literally within the hour. He was flexible with return times too which made us feel less stressed. He has lots of tips for visiting the island and made us feel welcomed by a local. Good guy! We’d happily rent a car from him again.

Awesome car! Very spacious and runs smoothly, and for a reasonable price! I also really like the leather seats! John is also very professional and accommodating per usual! Will rent again!

It is convenient that the rental and return processes take place entirely at the Royal Hawaiian Center parking garage. The very reasonable price was a definite plus. However, I would have liked to see more care taken with vehicle cleaning and maintenance. It was disappointing that the windshield washer fluid was empty and the interior and exterior hadn't been cleaned, but overall, I think I was able to enjoy a comfortable sightseeing trip.

Excellent experience renting through Turo. The host was responsive and professional, the car was clean and in great condition, and pickup/drop-off was quick and easy. Everything matched the listing perfectly with no hidden fees. Highly recommend Turo for anyone looking for a reliable and convenient car rental…

Excellent Trip: Returning customer: 3rd time using this vehicle, host and supplier. All went very smooth. The communication was great from day one. The airport pick-up was well managed and the parked vehicle easy to locate, Vehicle was delivered on time and care free. The car itself was in overall great condition. All systems (navigation, Convertable top, lighting, displays and mechanics of The car) was excellent. The weather was good, therefore we were able to travel with the Convertable top lowered almost 24/7. Returning the vehicle, I errored and entered the wrong garage (my fault). I contacted the host, received an immediately response and without hesitation notified me, the lot I was in, would be more than accessible, take good pics so vehicle could be picked up and my normal airport (time) stressors were avoided - THANK YOU … The experience was excellent. We are fortunate and have the ability to visit Hawaii annually. We will continue to use this vehicle type and host in the future. Thank you (once again) for doing your part and making this trip memorable.

We rented Yuhei's 2011 Nissan Versa for what I can best describe as our family's 36-hour Amazing Race around Oʻahu, and it turned out to be almost exactly the right car for what we wanted to accomplish. I'm the kind of person who likes to know the practical details before renting a vehicle, so here's the review I would have appreciated reading beforehand. First, set your expectations correctly: this is a 2011 four-cylinder economy car, not a new SUV or sports car. We had four adults in it, including my wife and my parents, and with four people aboard you're not going to race up the mountains or mash the accelerator and effortlessly pass somebody on the freeway. But if what you need is an inexpensive, simple car that will reliably get four people all over Oʻahu, this little Versa did exactly that for us. And we really did put it to the test. In roughly 36 hours, we drove about 170 miles and squeezed an amazing amount of the island into those miles. We went from Honolulu up through the center of the island to the North Shore, explored Haleʻiwa, stopped at the North Shore food trucks, saw places like Waimea Bay, Pipeline and Sunset Beach, then continued around the Windward side of the island past the beautiful mountains and Kualoa Ranch. We drove the coastal roads, stopped at overlooks and beaches, crossed the island through the mountains, visited the Nuʻuanu Pali Lookout, and made our way back into Honolulu. On day two we headed out along the southeastern side of Oʻahu and had a fantastic morning snorkeling at Kaiona Beach, then worked our way back toward Honolulu through the Makapuʻu/Hālona/Koko Head/Diamond Head area. We also had some fun hunting down Hawaii Five-0 filming locations, including the Kamekona shrimp-truck location near Kahanamoku Lagoon and the King Kamehameha statue and Five-0 headquarters locations downtown. We even managed to fit in some traditional Hawaiian food before returning the car. So when I say this Versa will get you around the island, we gave it a pretty good test. :-) Fuel economy: We drove approximately 170 miles and were down to roughly 1/4 tank when we refueled. It took almost exactly 9 gallons, which works out to about 18.9 MPG for our trip. Keep in mind that wasn't an MPG test under ideal conditions: it was four adults, Honolulu traffic, temps in the 90's... A/C Running, mountain roads, coastal sightseeing, repeated stops and starts, parking lots, overlooks, and plenty of accelerating back onto the highway. Your mileage with two people and more conventional driving could obviously be different. One thing I particularly liked was the size of the car. A compact Versa makes a lot of sense on Oʻahu. Parking spaces can be small, some roads are tight, and you're constantly pulling into little beach parks, overlooks and crowded Honolulu parking areas. I NEVER found myself wishing we'd rented something much larger. The car is also equipped with an aftermarket touchscreen stereo with Bluetooth, so we were able to connect a phone for music/audio during our drive. This was ESSENTIAL for getting around unfamiliar roads... to have our android auto connection maps up on the screen. Has both USB A and USB C inputs and once connected via wire, the BlueTooth took over every time we got in the car. It struggled to charge my older big pixel XL fold so bring a battery bank just in case. Again, this is a 2011 economy car, so rent it with realistic expectations. It isn't a luxury car, and with four adults aboard you will notice that little four-cylinder working on hills and harder acceleration... and my mom said she felt every "speed table" in the back seat (and there are lots of them around the island). We weren't renting a car to impress anybody... we wanted something economical and practical that could become our transportation for a crazy two-day family adventure around Oʻahu. For that purpose, it was perfect. (Remember taxes and $12 a day insurance are not included... added $40 to $50 to the 2 day $77 rental bill, which is probably why Turo gives you an hour to change your mind when you first book) Pickup and return were straightforward, communication with Yuhei and Kaori was excellent, and they were responsive throughout the rental. We returned it to the same location, filled it with fuel, uploaded our checkout photos and receipt, and were on our way. We came to Oʻahu on a cruise ship with a very limited amount of time and essentially used this little Versa to create our own two-day private island tour. In about 170 miles and 36 hours, it helped four of us see considerably more of Oʻahu than we ever could have seen relying on organized excursions. If we had more time, we might have opted into the adventure packages with the Jurassic park tours, or a trip into the diamond head crater... but guess passes must be arranged 30 days in advance, cost extra, and are timed entry. Five stars from us. Mahalo, Yuhei and Kaori!

Host directions were very detailed but clear. Near to our hotel. Host was extremely helpful and prompt with replies. Car was quite dirty upon pickup but I realize that’s the nature of this type of rental as well as the prior rental, so I don’t fault the owner and didn’t rate based on that. It was an easy and pleasant transaction and cheaper than Ubering.

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!!!
