SUV rental alternatives in

Koloa, HI

Our rental experience was great. We were concerned when we realized that traditional rental companies had no cars to rent for our trip needs. However, Turo was a great experience in that Anwar made the exchange so easy. The car was also comfortable and easy to drive. So our family was able to travel Kauai thoroughly and comfortably for our week long vacation. The only drawback was the expense of renting a car compared to a pre-Covid world. Everything said and done —it was great. I’m already recommending Tiro to friends.

Vladislav was a delight to work with! Upbeat and positive, and he responds so quickly. He kindly dropped off the vehicle for us at the resort where we were staying. We had tried for days to get Uber/Lyft/taxi rides and to book rental cars, without much luck. We really wanted to drive up to Waimea Canyon State Park and Kokee State Park to do some hiking, and we were so glad to find Vladislav on Turo! His car worked out great, and we have some wonderful new family memories from our first trip to Kauai that will last a lifetime. Highly recommend working with Vladislav... you’re in for a treat. :)

Great vehicle…good gas mileage for the versatility…4x4 a good call for Kauai and this one can fit 7…not much luggage space with jump seats in use but can’t beat it for family with 5 kiddos! Drop off and pick up at hotel super easy, very accommodating with all, highly recommend without reservation! If rental cars truly going for $500-1k a day, this vehicle was a steal!

Elie was SUPER helpful during our trip and easy to communicate with. Pick up and drop off went smoothly, so much better than standing in line at the car rental counter. The car was perfect for travel around on the island. Can’t wait to come back!!

Elie was very accommodating. His car was in great condition, had plenty of space for our luggage and it drove well. Easiest and best rental car decision! This was my 1st time using Turo and I was really impressed.

Owner is responsive. They delivered the car to our resort and they picked it up after for additional fee. Car was perfect for my family size of four with ample space in the back for stuffs. One thing though that I didn’t know about was the AC wasn’t working which the owner said was stated in the posting. When we went to Waimea Canyon, it was pretty hot even when the windows were down. However, the rental price is a lot more affordable than most cars on rental on Turo. I would rent again from Thomas but hopefully the AC will be working next time😁.

If my best friend loaned me her car, I could not have had a better experience. From first contact to last, Jenyffer was helpful and accommodating. The car itself was in great shape and was the perfect, big car we needed. Do not hesitate to rent this car or to rent from Jenyffer. She & the car made our trip!!

After months and months of trying to get a rental car, we found Elie’s Ford Explorer and it was wonderful! Super clean, and very spacious.. Thank you so much Turro for helping us find this gem!

DARLA was great! Made this very easy for me on a family vacation. Car was clean and ready to go. I would not hesitate to do this again with Darla!!

We just got home from a great trip from Kauai. We were very fortunate to get to rent Elie’s Ford Explorer. Elie was great to work with from the beginning and very quick to respond to all of my questions. The car was delivered to us in perfect condition and was a great car to drive around the island. Lots of pep and great great gas mileage. Elie was very accommodating and I would definitely rent a vehicle from him again and highly recommend him to anyone needing a car in Kauai. Thank you Elie!

Renting from Elie through Turo was super easy! So glad we found out about Turo. Elie was quick to answer any questions or concerns we had about the rental process. It was easy to pick and drop off the car. Elie was very friendly and he even gave us a list of places he recommended we visit while in Kauai. The car was exactly as described. We had no issues with the car. I would highly recommend renting from Elie through Turo.

This was much better than renting from a big name car rental agency. Elie and his team are professional and courteous. My car was clean and in perfect condition. Definitely going to rent from Elie again when we’re back in Poipu later this year.

So grateful to rent a car from Jeff during our trip to Kauai. Jeff was responsive, and adaptable working with us to coordinate delivery and drop off. The car itself was clean, in good working order, and was the perfect way to get us around the island. Would highly recommend to anyone!

Vehicle was clean & delivery was prompt. Easiest car rental I’ve ever done. Thank you Elie!

Francisco was so friendly and helpful about the island! He was very communicative from the moment I booked and offered advice about our trip and checked in frequently. I would definitely rent from him again the next time I find myself on the island. The car was exactly what we needed, went all over the south shore and east shore, drove up to the north shore and back and only had to fill up once. Thanks for everything!

The vehicle was in excellent shape and the owner was very nice. I’d recommend renting from Elie to everyone. Hopes this vehicle is available for our next trip.

Jenyffer was excellent! Quick responses to inquiries and the car was perfect for our family trip.

Lauren is very friendly, easygoing and flexible. She helped me drop off the car at my rental and allowed me to drop off at airport. I really appreciate the flexibility. The car is very brand new, clean, full of functionality. We really enjoyed it.

Stacie was excellent to communicate with and her car is great- new, immaculately clean, and spacious inside. Perfect rental for getting around the island!

Perfect rental! Vehicle very clean. Even accomadated me with a drop off to our resort. Everyone on rental team very helpful and very nice. Fast response to questions. Will definately use Elie again when traveling to Kauai.

Amazing rental! We enjoyed the beautiful car and our trip around the island thanks to Mrs. Stacie and her husband Robert. Really nice family and will definitely rent again for future trips

Great car, runs perfectly and is very comfortable! Communication with Kane was great, he was able to drop/pick up the car to our hotel which was very convenient. First time using Turo, very happy we rented this car and really enjoyed the experience.

Nellie was a fantastic host and she went above and beyond to accommodate us in our needs. Thank you so much for making our vacation better and for the awesome car! Highly recommend!!

You won’t be disappointed renting from Elie. Great customer service and quick responses via the Turo messaging app. This Bronco has less than 2,000 mi. and is a great car to tour the island. I would double check with your insurance company if you are covered renting through Turo. For some reason AAA said I would not be covered so I purchased the minimum insurance just in case.

Super clean car and met all our needs. Bonus was the free beach gear and coolers!! Easy pickup and drop off and would definitely rent again next time on Kauai.

Kepa and his wife were such friendly and down to earth people. They were so sweet and recommended us places to go to eat and hike. They were such fast responders and the vehicle was in excellent condition when we got it. Would definitely rent from them again when we come back :)

Great experience and very satisfied with the trip. Wonderful service.

Clean, new-like, and amazing car! We were able to rent Mercedes’ car for 3 days due to the car shortage on the island and head out for our adventures. Would definitely rent from Mercedes again.

Nicholas was a great person to rent from! He was very communicative and offered any accommodations! Definitely recommend him!

Couldn't have worked out better. No rental cars available on the island. Found this car on Turo, booked and within an hour Martine dropped the car off at our resort. Made several changes to the reservation during our stay. Martine was very accommodating and worked with us for the best experience. Saved our trip. Great host! Car was clean and in good shape. It got us around the island without any issues.

The car was perfect for our family of five. Plenty of room, immaculate, and ran great. Dawn was a great communicator and made things easy in terms of pickup and drop off. I would highly recommend.

Tina and Michael were very accommodating in terms of pickup locations and gave us valuable advice and trip recommendations. Thanks so much for allowing us to use your car.

Great experience renting from Tanya. She was super easy to communicate with and accommodating. Really appreciative of everything!

Nellie was great! We rented her car while honeymooning in Kauai. Nellie kindly greeted us at the airport with a bottle of champagne and made us feel at home right away. Without using her vehicle, we wouldn’t have been able to do all of the activities we had planned for our honeymoon. Her car was extremely clean/spacious and was exactly what we needed!

Perfect car for our family. Super clean and very nice! Tricia was easy to work with and very accommodating. Highly recommend!

This 2021 Kia Sorrento was clean and very easy to pick up and return at the designated location. It worked very well for the few days we rented.

Gracie made it easy to rent and was very accommodating for rental in the Koloa/Poipu area. Recommend to anyone.

Great experience. Clean car, courteous staff and responsive to questions and messages. Will use them again on our next trip.

Renting from Elie couldn’t have been easier. Car in excellent condition and clean. He responded quickly whenever I had a question. I would highly rate his service.

The Jeep drive well and coordination with Yaemi was smooth. Because I was staying in Poipu and just wanted the car for 2 days, she helped coordinate drop off at my Hotel and when leaving I dropped off at Lihue Airport and that was super convenient. Besides this car is relatively new, and ride was smooth and gave peace of mind. Yaemi even left local favorite recommendations for food for different cities. We didn’t take much advantage because we are vegetarians, but that was nice thought. Over all highly recommend.

Just as advertised! No surprises and the hosts are super chill. Their main objective is that you have a good trip. Would 100% book from them again!

Basically a new car with less than 2,000 mi. Great customer service with quick responses via the Turo messaging app. You won’t be disappointed renting from Elie.

Trip was great. Car was in amazing condition. Austin was timely and quick in his communications too.

Elie’s Bronco was perfect for our trip to Kauai. Brand new, clean, and comfortable. Elie was kind and had the car ready to go and even offered some cool local places to see. Overall, we had a blast exploring this beautiful island; we would definitely book with Elie again! Don’t hesitate to get this car and see everything the island has to offer!

Christyl was so kind enough to let us rent her car! It was clean and pretty much a brand new car!

Excellent car with a reasonable price. I would highly recommend renting from Newman and Priscilla Naihe,

I may have to buy this car now. It was amazing. It was very clean and functional. The CarPlay was a lifesaver and the trip was perfect. Thank you so much.

Top notch host and car. Everything was spotlessly clean and in complete working order. Communication with Christyl was easy and she responded almost immediately when I had a question or two. She charges a very fair rate for what you get…the car feels brand new and is well cared for. We will be renting from her again soon.

Dawn was an incredible host. Very flexible and communicative. Thanks for making our trip great!

The car was clean and they made the entire trip so easy and convenient!

Great car for the family. Very easy people to work with and flexible when necessary. Overall great experience.

Great host. Super communicative and flexible. Great recommendations for our stay. Jeep was as advertised and ideal for our stay. Five stars all around.

Francisco and Martine were very nice and accommodating. Made our trip and rental experience very easy. Thank you!

Teena and Michael were so helpful and communicative! The car was clean and ran very well. I would not think twice about using their car. And GREAT value. Their prices were more than fair-Thanks for an adding to our time on this amazing island!

Christy was fabulous to work with and her car was amazing! Thanks Christy!

Mari was super helpful and sweet! Highly recommend!!

Mint condition car and super helpful owner!

Perfect car to do some essential sightseeing. Ronald and his wife were kind and helpful I'm giving us suggestions for what to see on the island. Highly recommend.

Elie was great to work with and very responsive to all my questions. The Ford Explorer was perfect and met all our needs.
