Recently, our friends were invited to a family wedding on Maui. They, as we all are these days, are unsettled by the expense of the trip, so they called us to ask for any advice we might be able to offer in the way of cheap rental cars on Maui. They are flying into Kahului, so we suggested they reserve their car there. They’ll be able to attend the celebrations in style, while saving enough money to do some sightseeing during their free time.
This conversation with our friends got us to thinking that this advice fits all Hawaii car rentals, on all the islands. We’ve learned we can save money by staying away from the traditional rental agencies such as Dollar, Thrifty, Budget, Avis or Hertz. The online discount car rental agencies are much more affordable. Yet, we get the same car as if we’d rented from one of the big companies.
When we are looking for a discount vehicle rental in Kona or Hilo on the Big Island, money-saving transportation on Molokai, or a Kauai car rental, we look into the discount agencies when we hire a rental car. The same goes for finding cheap Honolulu rental cars for a crazy vacation on Waikiki Beach. We always decide we want to make a trip to the north shore, and we find the best deals for our money are found online for a rental car on Oahu.
As well, the cheap airline websites offer great deals. We have found great deals for flights and lodging together on one site. So, as we suggested to our Lahaina-bound friends, we like to save all the money we can on getting there, so we can take full advantage of the “aloha” the Hawaiian Islands have to offer.

Our pick, you guessed it, AlohaRents.com is the hands-down winner. We requested rate quotes from the 3 big cheap car rental companies in Hawaii. We chose Honolulu to be specific. Only because the largest fleets on the islands are housed there. The three companies we selected were: Car Rental Hawaii, Discount Hawaii Car Rental and the winner, Aloha Rents. The car we selected was an economy model. AlohaRents.com also offered bonus benefits, such as extra drivers at no charge and young drivers for free.

We just returned from a photo shoot at Waikiki on the Island of Oahu. The vehicle rental personnel were very helpful and kind. They sent us to a cool place on Oahu’s North Shore for our day off. The majority of work we completed was shot at Diamond Head near Waikiki. We spent a total of three days and actually brought back over 800 photos.
Some of the Jeeps we rented were used in the images this time. So, our thanks go out to Hawaii Jeeps. If you need a ATV, stop by one of their 3 locales in Waikiki Beach.

I am going to let everyone in on a secret. This is a bookmark I have shared with friends of mine for years. Every site within this helpful hint is based in Hawaii. The web-site is known as Hawaii-Search and it is so much more. The Car Rental page is just spectacular. I have used it on many occasions. One of my favorites on the page is Hawaiian Riders, which rents vehicles, Jeeps mainly, in Kauai. Tell them Dave sent you and you can add extra drivers with no additional charges or fees.
As I mentioned in my previous post, we are actually using Jeep Rentals in Hawaii, also known as Hawaii Jeeps for our upcoming shoot on the Garden Isle. If you decide to go with them you should ask to speak to Robert who is the reservations manager and a good friend.
If you are going to be in Kauai during July 14-19, you should come watch our photo shoot. This one is for Elle Magazine and is an outdoor waterfall location on the East side of Kauai. For directions to Kipu Falls you can visit one of our favorite condo rental websites. Of course it’s in Poipu Beach at Kiahuna, the condominium that is.
Mahalo,
Dave
