KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Kailua

  • Visitors should consider renting a car since having rental cars in Kailua will help them explore the area and make day trips to nearby places like Honolulu. Kailua is a great place for people interested in outdoor activities such as hiking, kayaking, and snorkeling. With your rental car in Kailua, you can visit Ahupua'a O Kahana State Park, about 12 miles northwest of Kailua, where snorkeling is popular. Travelers passionate about camping can cruise to Swanzy Beach Park, about 13 miles northwest of Kailua. Other tourist attractions you can visit for sightseeing are the USS Arizona Memorial, Pearl Harbor Visitor Center and Uss Bowfin Submarine Museum & Park located approximately 13 miles west of Kailua.
  • Travelers can access rental cars at the Honolulu Airport with onsite car counters upon landing. While at the airport, head to the car rental center located in the baggage claim area. You can book and make a reservation online then pick up your preferred car from the counters immediately after you arrive at the airport. Kailua car rentals available at the airport are SIXT, Hertz, Budget, Avis, Alamo and Dollar.
  • Driving in Kailua is interesting and easy. Pedestrians always cross the roadway within a crosswalk; hence when driving, you need to be careful and stop at crosswalks when crossing. When you want to cross a bicycle lane, you must yield the right-of-way to bicyclists. When an emergency vehicle is approaching, you must give way by pulling to the left lane if you were in the right lane, slow down or stop.
  • Kailua experiences heavy traffic which makes driving there challenging. Therefore, when driving, and especially during rush hour traffic, you should expect to spend a significant amount of time stuck in traffic. The morning traffic begins at around 6 am and lasts until 8 am. You will encounter more traffic congestion during rush hour between 3:30 pm to 7 pm. Moreover, the traffic flow tends to get heavy during the weekends, especially on Saturdays because most people visit Kailua for leisure activities and sightseeing. Morning peak times are especially difficult to pass as motorists have difficulty maneuvering through heavy traffic. When driving during these rush hours, avoid Waimea, Kamehameha Highway on the North Shore of Oahu.
  • Book your car hire in Kailua at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Intermediate hire cars in Kailua are around 58% cheaper than other car types, on average
