Brian was an awesome host for our truck rental, mahalos to him and his Ohana!
Everything was great! The car was exactly as described, clean, reliable, and had no issues at all. It was very easy to find, and the whole rental process was smooth. The host was friendly, responsive, and very helpful throughout the trip. I would definitely rent this car again. Highly recommended!
Great car, not many features but sturdy, a good price point, communicative owner and got the job done, bed is spacious no issues.
Awesome experience and truck. Stephen was excellent to work with - the communication was fast, so helpful and kind. He takes really great care of his truck and it was beautiful and ran great for us. We would absolutely rent it again when on-island!
The truck was great with all the bells and whistles! Very nice and spacious for 5 people and lots of room for luggage in the bed of the truck. Safe with a camper shell. STEPHEN was very nice and pick up drop off was very easy at the airport. Definitely would rent from Stephen again.
This was by far the best jeep to have for hawaii! Pick up and drop off was easy. Loved having a truck bed to hold all of our beach stuff! Made our trip so fun and easy.
Truck was great! Host was quick to respond to any questions I had regarding the location of pickup and drop off. Truck ran great, would rent again.
My first Turo experience with my other half and thankful we got the best experience with renting from Tedd. Phenomenal communication and easy to work with. Truck has great sound system! Would definitely be renting from Tedd again. Mahalo Nui🤙🏼🛻
It was a great Jeep to rent! I highly recommend it! The owner was great to work with!
They were a kind and wonderful host! I was a bit anxious about driving such a large car, but they kindly showed me how to use the autopilot feature, making the ride incredibly comfortable. I would absolutely love to rent from this host again. Mahalo!
Super easy! Very pleased and impressed. Jeep was clean as advertised and instructions were clear and timely. Very happy. Will rent again. The drivers door is just hard to engage so it needs to be slammed shut. But cleanliness and communication were great
This jeep gladiator convinced me I need one! By the best vehicle to go around the island with and not need to worry about room!
The truck was in great shape, very clean, and William is very attentive on chat. Pickup and drop off is super easy. Just wish more people on the island would do the jeep wave. It felt so wrong not getting that while i was finally back in a jeep 😅
The truck was clean, in good shape and the direction for both pickup and drop off were super clear!
Car was great! Brian was very communicative, car was very clean and comfortably fit my family of 5. Would recommend and rent again!
Would definitely use this again. Easy, convenient and less expensive than renting through traditional rental companies.

Frequently asked questions in Honolulu International Airport
Why should I rent a car at Honolulu International Airport?
Renting a car at Honolulu International Airport provides the cargo space and versatility needed for island adventures on Oahu. Whether you're transporting surfboards, camping gear, or moving supplies, a rental car offers the functionality that standard vehicles can't match. The elevated driving position also gives you better views of Honolulu's scenic coastal roads and mountain landscapes.
What are the most popular road trip routes from HNL?
The scenic drive around Oahu's eastern coastline takes you through Kailua and Lanikai beaches, offering stunning ocean views and pristine white sand stops. The North Shore route leads to famous surfing spots like Pipeline and Sunset Beach, passing through charming towns and local food trucks. The windward coast journey showcases dramatic cliffs, tropical valleys, and the iconic Chinaman's Hat island formation.
How do you get to downtown from Honolulu International Airport by car?
Take Highway 92 (Nimitz Highway) east from Honolulu airport, which provides a direct route into downtown's business district. This main thoroughfare passes through Kalihi and continues straight to the harbor area and central Honolulu. The route offers easy navigation with clear signage and accommodates larger vehicles like rental cars without difficulty.
What should I know before I start driving in Hawaii?
Hawaii follows right-hand traffic rules, and the speed limits are generally lower than mainland standards, with most highways capped at 55 mph. Parking in downtown Honolulu requires quarters for meters, and many beach areas have limited spaces that fill quickly during peak hours. Always yield to pedestrians at crosswalks, as Hawaii has strict pedestrian right-of-way laws.
Where can I find gas stations near Honolulu International Airport?
Several gas stations operate along Nimitz Highway between the airport and downtown Honolulu, providing convenient fuel options for your rental vehicle. Additional stations can be found on Keeaumoku Street and King Street as you head toward Waikiki and central Oahu areas. Most stations accept major credit cards and offer both self-service and full-service options.
Are there toll roads near HNL?
Hawaii has no toll roads anywhere on Oahu or the other islands, making travel straightforward and budget-friendly for your rental car. All highways, including the major routes like H-1, H-2, and H-3, are free to use regardless of vehicle type. This allows you to explore the entire island of Oahu without worrying about additional road fees or toll charges.
Is there unlimited mileage car rental on Turo?
Some hosts offer unlimited distance for a trip; others set a daily distance limit — you'll need to check on each rental car individually to see if this service is provided. On the vehicle pages, you'll see the total miles or kilometers you're allowed to drive under the heading "Distance included." You can find cars offering unlimited mileage with every trip by using the "Unlimited distance" filter.
What kind of license do I need to rent a car on Turo?
Turo accepts valid licenses (not expired, suspended, or revoked) that allow for full driving privileges; this includes driver's licenses issued outside of the US. Licenses that Turo doesn't accept in the US include any that have expired, have been altered, are conditional, probational, provisional, or restricted. Learner's permit/instruction permits are not accepted.
Can I get car rental discounts on Turo?
You can get discounts and low cost car rental on Turo.

How does car rental insurance work on Turo?
No, you don't need personal insurance coverage to rent a car on Turo. In the US, any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host's vehicle would kick in before your Turo protection plan. When booking a car in the US, you'll choose between three protection plans — Premier (eligibility requirements apply), Standard, or Minimum — to get the level of protection that's right for you. On each trip, you're covered with third-party automobile liability insurance provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company.* In New York state, you'll also choose between Premier (if available), Standard, or Minimum. With each plan, you're covered with liability insurance of $1,250,000.* Protection plans for New York trips also include access to roadside assistance, priority phone support, and 24/7 customer assistance.
