“Our experience with Island Cars was great. We were picked up at our resort and returned at the end of our stay. Eliminated the hassle of the airport rental. Joel provided us with a helpful map and some travel suggestions. Definitely will use Island cars again and highly recommend.”

“Fast and efficient service with a smile 😁 Brand new Rubicon... Kauai is a drive island, Uber and Lyft are scarce on island right now. Schweet beach whip! Highly recommend!”

“I had such an excellent experience with Aliʻi Rent A Car that I chose them not once, but twice during my stay in Kauai — and both experiences were absolutely outstanding. Everything was incredibly smooth, easy and well organized from start to finish. Communication was excellent, the cars were in great condition and the entire pick-up and return process was completely stress-free. What impressed me most was the personal, friendly and professional service. When travelling so far from home, having a rental company you can fully rely on makes a huge difference, and Aliʻi made everything feel effortless. After my first rental, choosing them again for the second part of my stay in Kauai was an easy decision. I would absolutely rent from Aliʻi again on a future visit and recommend them without hesitation. Thank you for being such a reliable and wonderful part of an unforgettable trip to Kauai!”

“National continues to be awesome and they are my first choice wherever I travel except in locations where they don’t serve, and on that note, I’d recommend expanding to more international locations. One example from this trip which reinforces my loyalty to them is when I had to cut short my trip by a day due to an impending hurricane- I just had to text and the customer service team adjusted the invoice and reduced the cost by a day. No fuss, no major discussion. Keep it up and thanks National!”

“Great experience overall. Kawai was super friendly and fast with our reservation. Upon learning it was our honeymoon she upgraded us to a convertible. Will only rent a car here when we return. Thank you, Kawai! 🌸”

“Best rental car experience we’ve ever had! Hassle free, line-up free pick up at our location of choice. Immaculate and great condition car. Clear, kind and prompt communication with Herman. I would highly recommend Kauai coconut coast car rental to anyone who wants to maximize their time enjoying this beautiful island, instead of standing in line at one of the bigger providers. It’s also nice and to support local. Thank you Herman!”

“Rented a Jeep Wrangler Oct 11–14 through NU Car. They gave me a beauty — not in perfect shape, but that only added to the charm. Off‑road tires and a simple “off‑road at your own risk” instead of the usual fine print gave me real confidence, even if the only dirt we found on Kauai after the hurricane was the Poipu Beach parking lot. One note for the 4xe: EV chargers aren’t common on the island, but the Royal Sonesta Kauai in Lihue had a free one. Shuttle was quick, pickup and return easy, price well under the airport majors. Would rent here again.”

“Haven't been to Kauai in over 20 years. Now you have to take a shuttle bus to get your car. You catch it where the old counters are which are now just storage sheds according to the driver. Pick up and drop off is fast though so thu.bs ip for that!”

“I was nervous after I booked this because of the many recent bad reviews, but I had a great experience. I booked through Expedia and didn’t get hit with any extra fees or hidden charges. I didn’t wait in line and the entire transaction took all of 5 minutes. Car was clean, ran great, and I had no issues. I’m imagining if folks are dealing with long wait times it’s because they’re coming from the airport right after a plane lands.”

“Not sure why this came up Hertz, our rental in Lihue was a Dallar, but we were happy with the car and the service. They originally gave us a Bronco but it was too tall for our wheelchair member to get into so they swapped us to an Explorer with no problem.”

“Going against the majority of reviews here and saying I was happy with my rental. The wait time to get it did take awhile but the lady who helped me check out was nice and once I was up there the process went quick. Returning the car I got to speak with Jonathon. He was so nice and friendly, made returning the car a good experience. Thanks!”

“We rented a Jeep from Thrifty in Kauai and I was highly satisfied with the whole process. Great service, immaculate car. We drove all over the island and had no issues. Drop-off was quick and easy. I will use Thrifty in Kauai again in future and definitely recommend them to other travelers.”
