Yes— at most times of the year! You’ll see these offers as you search for rental cars on our website.
All national car rental companies limit driving on a handful of rough, island roads. You’ll be happy to know that few roads in the Hawaiian Islands are restricted. While we can guarantee a 4×4, unfortunately, you are limited where you can drive them. You are welcome to drive your vehicle on the Mauna Kea Summit Rd. to the Mauna Kea Visitor Information Station. Driving is not allowed in the restricted area beyond the visitor center. Albeit, there are a handful of hikes you can take from the parking area. When you pick up your vehicle you’ll receive a map with these regulated areas clearly marked.
Yes! Unless you are under 25 yrs of age. Young drivers (20-24) must use a major credit card when picking up a rental car.
For drivers 25 yrs. and older, be sure your Debit Card shows the Visa or Mastercard logo on it. After obtaining a reservation, you can research more information online at your rental company’s site regarding credit and debit cards.
We are able to offer Child Safety Seats and GPS equipment. All additional equipment is subject to availability and should be requested at the rental counter.
We are no longer able to request a specific color from our car rental partners. Thank you for your understanding.
Hawaii state law requires that all children under the age four be restrained in a federally approved child safety seat. The current law requires that children ages four through seven ride in a booster seat or car seat any time they are in a vehicle. The only exceptions are for children taller than 4’9″ or those riding in vehicles with lap-only seatbelts in rear seats.
Hawaii’s law advises that children who have outgrown harnessed car seats (those who weigh between 40 and 65 pounds) should use a booster seat until they fit an adult seatbelt properly. This typically occurs when a child is at least 4’9″ tall and weighs at least 80 pounds.

A day constitutes 24 hours.
A week is generally 5, 6, or 7 discounted days, with 1 to 2 days being free.

Rentals periods may be negotiated for a total of 11 months.
Try your best to return your vehicle as close to its return time as possible. Charges can be added if you return your car just 60 minutes late. And, returning your vehicle too early, generally, one day, can also bring surcharges.
We can offer you a really great rate, but there is no need to use AARP, AAA, or other memberships. We’ll also offer the same rates to your grandmother, your neighbor, your tennis buddy, and the surfer from Hawaii who’s looking for a wave. There’s no need to ask us for a Kama’aina, AAA, AARP, or Student rate. You’re getting our best rate.
Our negotiations with our rental car companies are what make our vehicles the lowest priced ones you’ll find on the Internet. We offer our rates to everyone, regardless of age, sex, income, race, or hometown.
To obtain the lowest priced rental car from us simply search your intended location and dates on our Hawaii car rental search. Our reservation app will automatically display the company that offers you the most affordable car at the top of the page.
Car rental companies require that all drivers must be 20 years of age or older. “Young drivers” fall between the ages of 20 and 24. We are able to book with rental companies that have reduced young driver fees.
The rental companies had a need to describe this risk segment of their customers. Those between the age of 20 years old and under 25 years.
As your booking agent, Car Rentals Hawaii generates quotes from our multiple national car rental companies. These quotes will factor in the information you provide in our Hawaii car rental search tool. We are able to offer low, corporate rates, not offered to individual renters, nor available through most other booking agencies. Our goal is to see that you rent the right car at the lowest possible price. We generate the lowest quote price for you and make an (easy to cancel) reservation and send it to you via email or text.

No. An International Driving License is not required. We suggest you check online at your rental Company site for more information about international driving requirements. You may be asked to show your passport at the rental desk.
This is no longer an issue with our minimal form questions. Whether you need several cars at one location or plan to island-hop, we ask you to fill out our short form to rent additional cars.
Unfortunately, due to industry-wide policy, none of our rental partners offers a multiple-island discount. Each island’s reservation will be considered an individual, separate rental. When you stay 5 or more days at one of those destinations, we will happily offer our weekly discount for that rental.
All rental companies require each driver to show a valid driver’s license at their rental desk. A major credit or debit card is also required to rent a car. You will find more information online at your rental company’s site.
Not a problem. We respectfully request that you follow the cancel link in your confirmation email or contact us via email. There are no cancellation penalties.
The rate is fully dictated by the pick-up date. Your pick-up date of June 11th is still in the low season. Thus, you will pay a lower rate for your entire trip.

It’s our way of simplifying your online rental experience. When you choose our “Lowest Rate Available” option on the request form, we’ll personally review your rental request and then select the company that offers you the most affordable car.
Your rental company will provide Emergency Roadside Assistance. Their contact number will be included in your rental agreement.
The corporate price discount we offer you is unique and available to all. The vehicles are the same shiny ones the rental company makes available, at a higher price, to their other customers.
We post the Current Rates common to all locations. Taxes can vary by location and certain taxes are location specific. Your emailed paperwork will include all charges associated with the rental you request. If the State of Hawaii or a specific county makes a tax rate change after you make a reservation but before your arrival, there will be an adjustment to your reservation. This is rare but has happened in the past.
Unfortunately, young drivers under 25 years old (drivers between 20 and 24) are viewed as having an increased accident risk. It’s an unfair assumption and a generalization made by car rental agencies. Most rental companies won’t rent to drivers under 20 years old.
Spam filters can catch the confirmation and treat it as spam. If your email program or provider maintains a folder with email that has been filtered, you might find the message has been routed there.
The confirmation will provide you with all charges, including all govt. imposed taxes and fees, you can expect to pay for your rental car. It will let you know your rental is guaranteed.
