Top Tips for Hiring an SUV in Kailua-Kona

  • Driving Kailua-Kona SUV rentals is a breathtaking and fantastic way to explore this coastal city on the western shores of the Big Island of Hawaii. In an SUV, you can drive around in cool comfort, exploring the rich and storied history of the city and its Hawaiian royal legacy. You can also explore the island, driving along coastal roads, into mountains to see volcanoes, and through jungle landscapes. In an SUV, you and your friends or family will have plenty of room for recreational equipment, picnic supplies, beach paraphernalia, and all the souvenirs you desire.
  • For those interested in securing Kailua-Kona SUV rentals on the Big island, you should mention any add-ons that you want when you make your reservation. If you would like a GPS navigation device for hands-free help getting around the island or an appropriately sized child safety seat for your daughter or son, mentioning these items when you make your reservation will help ensure that the car rental agency has them available when you arrive to collect your vehicle.
  • Many car rental agencies will not allow Kailua-Kona SUV rentals off the lot unless you either purchase agency insurance or show them proof that your own insurance will cover the vehicle. If you intend to forgo car rental agency insurance, play it safe and bring either screenshots or photocopies of the insurance policy you intend to use to cover the SUV. Specifically, copy the paragraphs showing that Kailua-Kona SUV rentals will be covered.
  • For those making reservations for Kailua-Kona SUV rentals, consider joining the car rental agency’s rewards program if you are not already a member. Not only can you accrue points for future benefits, but you can enjoy perks that can help expedite the car rental process in Kailua-Kona. Rewards programs such as Avis Preferred, Budget Fastbreak, and Alamo Victory often allow you to fill out all your paperwork online, join a shorter line at the car rental agency, or skip the line altogether. Joining these programs is usually free, so you have nothing to lose and benefits to enhance your vacation to gain.

    In Hawaii, you must be at least 18 years old to rent a car. However, individual car rental agencies can set that limit higher if they choose to. Some rental car agencies set the limit at 21. Regardless of how low the limit is, chances are that the car rental agency will charge you an additional daily fee for being a young renter if you are younger than 25 years old. If You are under 25, and you are interested in Kailua-Kona SUV rentals, research local agencies to find the most economical choice for someone your age.

If you are the renter, you must also have a credit card in your own name in order to leave a deposit on the vehicle.

We rented 2 cars for our group and one of the cars was incorrect. We ordered a “Chevrolet Suburban or similar” and got a minivan. Mistakes happen but the man working the pick up counter at the airport in Kona was the rudest customer service person I have ever dealt with. It was appalling. I wouldn’t rent through Hertz again because of this person.

Pick up 5 miles from airport when advertised as airport rental company. The pick up staff were fantastic. When I dropped off car the employee checking car mentioned damage under the trunk area of SUV which was plastic area that was not damaged, but with a tiny gap or space. I showed him that there was no damage pressing down on it, where he did not charge me. I wonder if company is doing so badly being so far from airport that they are nickel and diming customers to make up for their lack of business. I loved the experience with the cars and rentals the two times i have used Sixth, but a rental car company trying to manufacture false damage claims is a red flag for me and I will be reluctant to use going forward. You should fire the employee who cleared me of any damage, but initially pointed out non existent damage and was starting to make a claim. Ridiculous.

There is a charge of $250 on my CC from the day I dropped off the car. Why? I 100% fueled the car, shook out the sand from the floor mat, and left the car clean. They said everything was okay at drop off and did not say that there would be a $250 charge. What is the deal? Please correct and let me know, $250 is not nothing.

The rental car was dirty with a used water bottle in the back seat and filled with a colony of live roaches. The roaches were visible and scattered virtually every time we entered the car. They were on the seats, floor, dashboard, our clothes, and empty cups. Then Avis charged us an extra $1800 without our knowledge. When we called to complain, they said it was because we upgraded, but the only reason we had the roach infested jeep was because they had given out our car. Then they said it was because we were late to pickup (our plane was delayed 20 minutes).

They did not have the car we reserved so they gave us a a jeep. It was filled with a colony of live roaches which were openly crawling around the car. When we returned the car Avis charged us an extra $1800 without our knowledge. When we called to complain, Avis said it was because we “upgraded.”

first car was fine. somewhat well used but good on gas. after a week or so there was somesort of "fire" under the passenger seat, maybe some wire burned. it was very fast and we saw some smoke and smelled something burning. It was gone about as fast as it happened. Got a replacement car. Lady said it was new 2025 and was an upgrade. Kia telluride. It was nicer and better other than used more gas. That was our only issue. Everything else was good
