We had an excellent experience renting this truck for our vacation. The vehicle was clean, reliable, and exactly as described. It drove great the entire trip and made traveling much more comfortable. The owner was responsive, professional, and easy to communicate with throughout the rental process. Pickup and drop-off were smooth and convenient. We would definitely rent this truck again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a dependable vehicle for a trip.
Clint was an outstanding host from start to finish! The entire rental process was incredibly easy, smooth, and stress-free. He was friendly, responsive, and very accommodating, making sure everything was clear and convenient throughout the trip. The truck itself was excellent—clean, well-maintained, and exactly as described. It was spotless when I picked it up and performed flawlessly the entire time. I took it on a longer trip and had absolutely zero issues. The ride was comfortable, reliable, and handled everything I needed with ease. If you’re looking for a five-star experience all around, book with this host!!! I will absolutely rent from him again in the future! Thank you!!
The option of Renting this Nissan Frontier pick up truck appeared at first glance like an “anxiety-reducing opportunity”, and here’s the reason why: -Pretty much all of the other trucks of the same type (with the oversized compartment in the back) are advertising for over $200 at the minimum, and quite often for just 24 hours. -In addition to the relief I felt as I noticed that this one was reasonably priced, the pick up location came as an unexpected bonus. Basically, there are a great number of car dealerships, most if not all, located one next to the other, occupying about a mile-long segment of the main road connecting Colma and Daly City called Serramonte Blvd. Thus, after dropping my car at the Volkswagen dealership on Serramonte blvd, being able to access this rental, located only about a mile away was a pleasant surprise. Especially when you combine that with the affordable price. - Lastly, the communication with the truck owner was easy and the details provided were quite thorough; which altogether made for an “anxiety-reducing” experience overall😀👍🙏. Thank you again for making the rental process of your Frontier, as simple and stress-free as it can be. Kel F, PharmD
Rental process was very easy. I had the car dropped off and picked up from my house with no issues. Vehicle was super clean! Will absolutely rent from again!!!
Truck rental again was great, very clean and comfortable, will do business again in future, thank you.
Great vehicle. Super clean and comfortable. Super responsive host. Was available on time. Would recommend to anybody looking to rent a truck. Will use again in the future
Tian was great. He helped guide us throughout the whole rental process. The car has amazing FSD. I would highly recommend for roadtrips. Would rent again from him
We’ve now rented for three straight months from Broden, choosing multiple vehicles. He has always been extremely responsive and made our experience smooth. He has some of the best vehicles available and at a very reasonable price. We tried to rent from another listing this past week after returning our last vehicle to Broden, and immediately had to contact Turo to have them cancel the reservation due to major mechanical issues. Broden keeps up on his mechanical services, that added Rocket Car Wash unlimited pass is a really nice bonus, and pickup and drop off are so convenient. We just booked our 4th month and 3rd vehicle today with Broden.
This truck is awesome. It has a super strong and smooth running engine. All the working areas of the truck such as the tie downs in the bed are in great condition, which was super important for me. 👍👍 used for hauling machinery. The bed is in good shape not torn up like most rental trucks. Made it easy to sweep out. You will love driving this truck if visibility is important to you, it’s a lot better than a comparable sized van lol. While trucking around 😎 I loved the sound system, worked great with charging my phone and playing music. The check in and experience with Nesha was excellent. The price was significantly better and I enjoyed this truck much more than any truck I’ve gotten from THD, Lowes or Enterprise and this year was a BIG YEAR for trucks and vans ✌️
Amazing truck, flawless and very reasonable price. Just keep in mind it's rear wheel drive so not best for snowy conditions! But otherwise awesome car!
Amazing experience from start to finish! The truck was clean, well-maintained, and ready right on time. The staff was professional, friendly, and made the rental process quick and stress-free. the truck drove perfectly the entire trip. I would definitely recommend this truck rental company to anyone needing reliable service and equipment. Will absolutely be using them again in the future!
Great truck rental experience! The vehicle was clean, reliable, and easy to drive. The host is easy to talk to and made pickup/drop-off smooth and hassle-free. Highly recommend!
The rental was affordable and truck was great like the host Janine who was very friendly and very professional. The truck was delivered to my address which was very convenient for me and the situation of getting a ride to pickup ride to have a ride. Geeeesh

Things to do and places to see in Lanai City
Lanai City serves as your gateway to some of Hawaii's most pristine and untouched attractions, from the otherworldly rock formations at Garden of the Gods to the shipwreck-strewn coastline of Shipwreck Beach. You can explore Lanai Cat Sanctuary, where hundreds of rescued cats roam freely in a unique island paradise, or venture to Sweetheart Rock for breathtaking sunset views over the Pacific. Your rental car provides the freedom to discover secluded Polihua Beach, navigate the rugged terrain to Munro Trail's summit, and access remote fishing spots along the island's dramatic coastline at your own pace.
Garden of the Gods rock formations
Garden of the Gods showcases extraordinary red rock towers and boulders scattered across a lunar-like landscape that photographers and nature lovers find irresistible. You'll find this geological wonder located in Lanai's northwest region, accessible via a dirt road that requires careful navigation but rewards you with some of Hawaii's most unique scenery. Parking areas near the formations allow you to explore on foot while your rental car waits safely nearby for the return journey.
Shipwreck Beach coastal adventure
Shipwreck Beach stretches along Lanai's northeastern shore, where strong currents have claimed numerous vessels over the decades, creating a fascinating maritime graveyard visible from the sand. You can reach this remote beach via Keomoku Road, though the route demands attention as it transitions from paved surfaces to more challenging terrain. The beach offers excellent opportunities for beachcombing and photography, with ample space to park your rental car while you explore the coastline.
Lanai Cat Sanctuary wildlife experience
Lanai Cat Sanctuary provides a heartwarming encounter with over 600 rescued cats living freely in a three-acre enclosure surrounded by beautiful gardens and ocean views. You'll find this unique attraction easily accessible from Lanai City's main roads, with designated parking areas for visitors arriving by rental car. The sanctuary welcomes guests who want to interact with friendly felines while supporting animal welfare efforts on the island.
How to get to Lanai City
You can reach Lanai City through several transportation options: by plane via Lanai Airport, which receives flights from Honolulu and Maui airports; by ferry from Lahaina on Maui, offering scenic ocean crossings with vehicle transport services; by car via the Expeditions Ferry if you're bringing your own vehicle from Maui. Most visitors fly into Lanai Airport and arrange ground transportation, while others take the ferry for a more adventurous island-hopping experience.
Top tips for renting a car in Lanai City
Book your car rental early on Turo since Lanai has limited vehicle availability, and prioritize cars with high clearance and all-wheel drive for navigating the island's challenging dirt roads and steep terrain. You should look for vehicles equipped with backup cameras and keyless entry, which prove invaluable when maneuvering in tight spaces or returning to your rental car after beach adventures. Consider rentals that include extras like coolers for day trips, since Lanai's remote locations require you to bring your own refreshments and supplies for extended exploration.

Frequently asked questions in Lanai City
Why rent a car in Lanai City?
Renting a car in Lanai City provides the perfect solution for transporting larger items across the island, whether you're moving supplies to remote areas or hauling equipment for outdoor adventures. The elevated driving position offers excellent visibility of Lanai's stunning landscapes and helps navigate the island's varied terrain with confidence. Cars excel at carrying camping gear, fishing equipment, or supplies for extended stays on this beautiful Hawaiian island.
What should I expect when driving a car versus a car?
Driving a car in Lanai offers a higher seating position that provides panoramic views of Maui across the channel and better visibility around the island's winding roads. The larger vehicle requires more space for turning and parking, particularly important when navigating Lanai City's compact downtown area. You'll notice increased stopping distances and different handling characteristics, especially when carrying cargo through Hawaii's diverse landscapes.
How do I park a large car safely?
When parking your rental car in Lanai City, choose spaces that accommodate the vehicle's length and avoid tight spots near busy areas like the town center. Use your mirrors extensively and take advantage of the car's height to spot obstacles, particularly important given Lanai's sometimes narrow parking areas. Always engage the parking brake on Hawaii's sloped terrain and leave extra space between your rental car and other vehicles.
How do I manage weight distribution in my car?
Proper weight distribution in your rental car ensures optimal handling while exploring Lanai's diverse terrain and accessing remote beaches or hiking areas. Place heavier items over the rear axle and secure all cargo to prevent shifting during travel around the island's curves. Balance your load evenly from side to side, especially when carrying supplies for extended stays on Lanai or day trips to different parts of the island.
What safety features do modern cars offer?
Modern cars available for rental feature advanced braking systems that provide enhanced control when navigating Lanai's varied elevations and steep descents. Electronic stability control helps maintain traction on different surfaces you'll encounter while exploring the island's diverse landscapes. Many cars include backup cameras and parking sensors, particularly valuable when maneuvering in Lanai City's compact spaces or positioning for scenic viewpoints.
Where are the best car road trip destinations from Lanai City?
Your rental car opens access to Lanai's remote beaches and elevated viewpoints that showcase spectacular views of neighboring Maui and the Pacific Ocean. The island's network of roads leads to diverse landscapes including pine forests, red dirt canyons, and secluded coastal areas perfect for camping or picnicking. Lanai's compact size makes it ideal for exploring multiple destinations in a single day, from the town center to the island's most remote corners.
