Car Rental Kona Airport

Of all the rental cars Kona Hawaii Airport can offer you, a Jeep rental or a convertible are incredibly popular options. These are both fun vehicles, and will allow you to experience the sights and sounds of Hawaii as you travel down the road. Keep in mind, if it starts to rain, the convertible would be a better option, as you can put the top up or down with the push of a button. The Jeep Wranglers, both 2 door and 4 door mostly have a T-Top if they have a removable top at all, and you will have to pull over and put the top on yourself in the rain. This is not necessarily a big concern, but if you are staying in a hotel on the rainier side of the island, you might not want the top down.

Consider the size of your party, and what you would like to see and do before you decide on which type of car rental Kona Airport vendors can provide for you. If you are planning on doing a lot of driving and sight-seeing every day and you have 4-5 people, the smaller vehicles may not be very comfortable, as they get full fast. There is also not much space for luggage to and from the airport. If you are planning on staying put in a resort area, a smaller vehicle such as a mid size may be a perfect choice, as it doesn’t usually cost as much, and it will get you where you need to go.

If you are planning a trip up Mauna Kea to the visitor’s center, any car rental Kona Airport has available will get you there. None of the rental car companies will allow you to take their vehicles past the visitors center, so if you are looking forward to a trip to the top, you may have to book a tour to get that far.
When you look on our website at the car choices available, and the rates, you might be surprised to see a Kona van rental at a lower price than a compact car rental – this may mean that a certain Kona Airport car rental company is offering special deals or sales at that time. If you need a larger vehicle or a luxury car, this is the time to book that option, as the prices could change next time you look. Of course, this can mean you get an even lower price on an economy option at a Kona Airport car rental!

We, at Discount Hawaii Car Rental, always recommend that you book a vehicle on your first search of the website so you can hold a rate, as prices do fluctuate with the car companies, and can go up or down closer to your date of arrival, depending on how many cars are available, and whether or not you are traveling during peak seasons.

If you are traveling to attend “Iron Man”, you may want to book your Kona Airport rental car way in advance, as that season is almost always a sell out for the car companies. An SUV rental in Kona Hawaii would be a good choice if you have passengers and a bike to transport as well.

• Whenever you pick up the car rental, Kona Airport vendors will require that you have your driver’s license with you. If you are traveling from another country, and your driver’s license is not in English, you may also need an International Driver’s Permit. This will not replace your driver’s license, but will be in addition to it.
• When you book any car rental KOA Airport has, pay attention to the specific rental company you use. You will then look for that shuttle when you go outside after you have collected your luggage. Take your confirmation # and/or email from us with the confirmation # and all of the pricing details with you. This way you can make sure the costs are the same as when you booked. Always double check the pricing before you sign the rental agreement at the counter. Question any extra charges.
• If you have any extra drivers that need to be added to your Kailua-Kona airport car rental, make sure they come with you to the counter, and have their driver’s license with them. They will need that to sign onto your car rental.
• If any drivers are between the ages of 20-24 years of age, there are some restrictions, so make sure you have booked the proper car – some cars are off limits to young drivers, or drivers with a debit card.
• There is no need to rent a special vehicle here. Any car rental Kona Hawaii Airport has in stock will get you where you want to go, except to the top of Mauna Kea, and no car company will allow you to drive that far up the mountain. Choose your best Hawaii car rental option by fitting in your “must have” options based on the numbers and sizes of passengers and luggage. Look for the best-priced vehicles for your passengers, including extra drivers, where required, and the best young driver rates for 20-24-year-olds.
