KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Princeville

  • When exploring the beauty and maximizing your experience in Princeville, Princeville car rentals are an absolute game-changer. Car rentals in Princeville allow you to explore the stunning surroundings at your own pace. With a car, you can easily reach remote beaches, hidden trails, and breathtaking viewpoints that may not be accessible by public transportation. Car rentals in Princeville allow you to visit nearby attractions such as Hanalei Bay, Queen's Bath, and the Na Pali Coast, which are best enjoyed with the convenience of private transportation. So, if you're seeking adventure and want to make the most of your time in Princeville, renting a car is the way to go!
  •  When visiting Princeville, you will likely land at Lihue Airport (LIH). Suppose you want to use Princeville car rentals. In that case, you won't need to worry about shuttles or leaving the airport premises to access the rental car offices since they are conveniently located at the airport. To access car rentals in Princeville from the airport, go from the baggage claim area to the Rent-A-Car booths across the street from the terminal. All rental companies' pick-up and drop-off areas are located behind their respective booths. Follow the signs or ask airport staff for directions, and you'll quickly locate the rental car counters. This will allow for a seamless transition from your flight to picking up your rental car, saving you time as you embark on your Princeville adventure.
  •  When driving car rentals in Princeville, specifically along the Kuhio Highway (Route 56) and within areas like Princeville Resort and Princeville Ranch, it's essential to be aware of the prevalence of wildlife on the roads. Due to the town's location in a natural setting, encounters with animals like deer, raccoons, or even wild boars are not uncommon. Exercise caution, especially when these creatures are most active during dawn and dusk. Keep an eye out for road signs indicating wildlife crossing areas and adhere to the speed limits to mitigate the risk of collisions.
  • Driving car rentals in Princeville can be challenging, particularly during the morning rush hour from 7 am to 8 am and the evening rush hour from 3 pm to 5 pm, as heavy traffic is expected. Main Street is mainly affected by these congested periods. It's also essential to be aware of Highway 51, as it often experiences congestion.
  • Book your car hire in Princeville at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

Keep was great! Grouchy staff during pickup and especially drop off. The Jeep had mud on it when we picked up which we didn’t care that much but of course we put more mud on the week we had it and the manager lectured us saying he wanted to charge us $250 cleaning fee. We settled on $35 which I suppose was fair. Website says don’t worry about cleaning but you actually better bring it back clean. Heads up.

The pick up location was away from the airport and we had to take a cab who ripped us off to get there. But the agent there (Jeff) was very nice and accommodating, upgraded us to a brand new SUV and let us drop the car at the airport for no additional fee. All in all a great experience.

The rental location is really convenient if you are staying at Kauai Beach Resort, because that is where the rental office is located. We found this rental location on Kayak and thought it was located at the airport in Lihue. Luckily for us, we were staying at the KBR. We did have to take a $20 dollar cab each way. So the deals that were close in price (less than the $40 difference in Airport location vs off-site), are the ones we would have chosen.

Car was picked up at a resort located 3 miles from airport--Hertz office, but no transportation was provided. We had to pay to get there. $44 each way (3-miles from LIH) or pay $150 drop-off fee. This was not disclosed at time of online reservation. Car was not clean and seemed old. Did not have opportunity to discuss with rental rep. as they were busy with another customer. Additional fees/taxes were added, even though this was a PRE-PAID rental that INCLUDED TAXES.

They refused to provide transportation from the airport so we canceled our reservation. Who doesn’t have a kiosk at the airport or transport to their rental office? We were told to Uber or pay $45 for a taxi. Pretty sure they were happy to NOT HAVE our business.
