Payless Car Rental FAQs
What is the Payless rental car cancellation policy?
It is always free to cancel a rental car with Payless when booked through us. We don’t take a deposit or a fee when you book through us - you will pay the car company directly when you arrive at the counter.
Can you return a Payless rental car to any location?
When you rent a vehicle with a pick up in one location, if you wish to drop it in another location on the same island, you must specify that when booking. Choose the separate drop off location as well. Payless only have locations at the airports in Hawaii. Cars will only show for the car companies that have availability at both pick up and drop off locations. Some locations charge a “drop fee” to drop in a separate location. If you do not specify this, you may be charged more to drop unannounced at a different location.
Does Payless Car Rental charge for mileage?
In Hawaii, Payless Car Rental locations do not charge for mileage. The islands are not very big, so you most likely would never drive farther than any mileage limit anyway.
Does Payless charge for additional drivers?
Yes, if the driver is not a spouse or domestic partner, you will pay for any additional drivers.
What kind of cars do Payless have?
Payless Car Rental Airport locations carry a wide range of vehicles, right from the smallest economy sized cars to large vans capable of carrying 12-15 passengers. There are some luxury vehicles, 2 and 4 door wranglers, convertibles and virtually every size in between.
Can I use a debit card at Payless car rental?
Renters over 24 years of age can use a debit card. Anyone between 21-24 will need a credit card, and will be limited on which vehicles they may rent.
