The pick-up and drop-off was very easy. The staff was friendly, and so far, I have not seen any surprise charges. Although I wish the full price were cheaper, it was the cheapest option I had found in Lihue. Will definitely use Alamo again!

The front desk gentleman that helped us was so very helpful and so efficient helping us find the best value for our trip! I wish I knew his name but he went above and beyond to give us a great fast experience!

We elected for the "suppliers choice" when booking to get the cheapest rate because of the rental car shortage. We weren't expecting much, but had the choice of any minivan or truck on the lot. We chose a fairly new Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 quad cab truck that had less than 2000 miles on it... Sweet!

Car's a/c system was erratic. Cleanliness was a little lacking. The pick up and drop off was excellent and staff was very friendly, courteous, and helpful. Price is way up for what you rent but I was afforded a bigger vehicle which I'm grateful for.

They need more staff at Budget and staff was very rude. Never had an experience like that in 9 trips to HI. They supposedly upgraded the car from a compact to a Camaro convertible. The car rode like a truck even though it had 10,000 miles on it. The prices were extremely high for rentals as well. Not a good experience.

Bait and switch on the quoted price
1.9 HorribleSep 9 2021
The customer service was horrible from beginning to end. The wait at the airport for the shuttle was 4 times longer than every other rental car company. The service once arriving at the rental center was incredibly slow. I was in line over an hour and there were only 6-7 parties in front of me. 2-3 employees working the counter didn’t appear to run into any snags, just worked slowly and no sense of urgency. More importantly the car was very worn, not clean or sanitized and truthfully felt unsafe

Was charged double what other competitors were offering! Not happ and never returning!
10.0 ExcellentSep 4 2021
Rental prices still too high in Kaua'i. My Kia Rio shouldn't cost more than my roundtrip from Boston! That said, I got a decent price the day of my arrival and was able to switch while at the counter. Staff was extremely helpful!

The wait to get the car was very long and hot. The car we got was filthy, with windows that would not stay clean due to the gross windshield wipers. The streaks made for very unsafe driving at times. On the plus side, my agent was the friendliest, most amazing person who seemed to make everything okay. I think he name was Alila.
1.9 HorribleAug 7 2021
It was a crazy experience! They couldn’t find keys to cars, other cars were out of service. They didn’t have any cars available in my category (even though my reservation was made months before). They offered me a larger vehicle (Chrysler 300) that was a gas guzzler & it wasn’t clean. But I have to say it was comfortable & had a lot of power.
1.9 HorribleAug 4 2021

1.9 HorribleJul 8 2021
After a 10 hour overnight flight for our honeymoon, no one was working the Payless counter when we arrived - they literally just didn't show up for work that day. Totally unacceptable. Another rental car company had to loan one of their cars to Payless in order for us to leave with a car. Terrible experience. If I could give 0 stars I would... Keep in mind we booked and prepaid in full several months in advance.
1.9 HorribleJul 6 2021
Waited in line for the car for >2hrs, mostly outside in the heat. The car I got was much worse than the one I booked and was not clean. Horrible experience.

8.0 ExcellentJun 29 2021
The drop-off attendant was very friendly and helpful, and got us checked out quickly.The counter person (at pick-up), was not very friendly, and was difficult to understand. I wasn't given the opportunity to inspect the car - he just handed be empty damage assessment tried to get rid of me. When I insisted on the inspection, he tore off the top page of the form, so there would be no duplicate, and sent me off to fill it out on my own. The car, not the one we we ordered, was well-worn, with lots of chips and scratches and tiny dents, so I filled the card completely. When I brought it back in to verify the issues, he tried to send me away again. But when I complained that there was no official record of the existing damages, he put his initials on the form I had, claiming that would be enough, and waved me off again. Once he'd gotten my credit card info, and had given me the keys, he only seemed interested in trying to get rid of me. Not at all a pleasant experience.
6.0 GoodJun 15 2021
The drop off was super easy.Understaffing at the counter meant that we waited in line for two hours to pick the car. To cover up the fact that they did not have the compact car that we reserved they pushed us to take a convertible with no rear folding seats so we could not fit a surf board in the car. The agent did not mention this even when we asked if a surfboard would fit in the car.

Good experiencePick up and drop off went very smoothly. SUV was adequate and handled the island's roads very well. We had a late arriving flight and the office stayed open past normal hours to accommodate our reservation.Expected a RAV4 - got a Hyundai SUV instead. Not a big deal though.

Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) & Theft Protection Waiver
Collision damage waiver and theft protection are insurance options that cover renters from paying high penalty fees if the car is stolen or returned damaged. Some Kapaa car providers already include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Theft Protection Waiver into the rental price but not all of them. We recommend always be aware of your coverage when renting a car in in Kapaa.
