Toyota Carolla (Mid Size Sedan Rental)
Alan D.

Best place to rent from. Akamai made it super easy to rent a car. We were staying at the Halepuna and needed a car for 2 days. I was able to make the online reservation the night before and pick up the next morning at 9am. We picked up the Toyota Carolla and off we went. The car was clean and the staff were super nice. A big reason we chose Akamai was because they offered free parking on their lots after hours (so need for us to pay for hotel parking since it was on the next block). They just request that you park after they close (4pm), leave keys in the drop box overnight so they can move vehicles, and pick up next day after they open. After dropping off the car at the end of our reservation (fill up tank, park in lot, keys in drop box), they refunded our deposit the very next morning. 5 stars for sure. Super easy and simple. Will definitely use Akamai again on our next visit

Truly a 5 star experience with Akamai rentals. I was wanting to explore Oahu last minute so needed a car within a day. I was reading a lot of reviews of places on the Waikiki strip and the reviews were all over the place. I ended up with Akamai rentals and I was very happy! Within a day they got me in a car that I wanted at a very reasonable rate. They keep their cars in top condition. They were spotless not a piece of sand in sight. Pick up was super easy too! Very friendly staff! A great part if you want multiple days you can also par at their facilities as an option! With the car I got to see so many cool places!

Great place to rent a car for a day or multiple days. Includes parking in Waikiki which helps avoids hotel parking fees.

The wife lived on Oahu for 15 years and her son and grandson still do so we hop over to see them regularly too. Since 2018 when I was told on a flight to check you out I don't think I've rented a car in KOA or HNL any other way and it's been dozens of rentals. Now I found Discount USA too so we'll use that app too. Anyway.... I just wanted to pass on how much we use your service and how pleased we are with the ease of shopping all rental companies in your website and app. I wouldn't shop any other way although I keep trying directly and bookings and car rental.

It didn't have the fuel efficiency if a compact car and it was much larger than I expected. The window visibility was lacking so I returned it. The clerk said my only other choice was a Kio with a boxy build. It was actually a compact SUV but I snatched it as it was better than the first car in many ways. Well, I can't complain too much since I only paid $40/ day but it wasn't fuel efficient.

Wow, truly a breath of fresh air in the car rental business. Hands down one of the best I've…read moreexperienced. I have traveled a lot for work/pleasure and know how to navigate rental car agencies pretty well. Every once in a while they get one over me, especially recent with the electric vehicle push. I also almost always avoid off airport rentals as a rule. Given the price and the glowing reviews I thought I would give Lucky Owl a shot. I'm very glad I did. The pickup process was super easy, just walked across the street from the southwest baggage claim where the pickup spot #4 was designated. Made the call and they were there rather quick. At the counter there was no sales push or tactics, they just verified my ID and CC then handed me the keys. Their rules were clearly laid out next to the window. They took photos of the cars condition and encouraged me to do the same. I also received the exact car stated on my reservation. No issues with the car for the 2 weeks we were there. Someone mentioned you blend in with their cars as a local, I don't know how but it did feel that way, hahaha. I especially liked the rubber floor mats which made cleaning easy. My one recommendation would be a trunk/hatch rubber mat. I know they are much harder to come by, but it would help with sandy beach gear. Speaking of, they even offer to rent beach gear! My airbnb came with some, but its great to know for next time. Drop off was just as easy as pickup. Their rental terms mention excess sand has a fee and there is a Texaco close to their location with vacuums. I wasn't sure if we had reached the "excess" level but why not treat the car with respect and clean up after yourself since Lucky Owl treated us well. When I got back they took a couple photos of the condition just like the pickup and had the shuttle ready to take me to the airport. No question I will be renting from here again next time in Oahu! They also have some friendly cats to greet you.

We had a mishap with the key fob not working while we were at the beach on the east side of the…read moreisland. When we realized it wasn't working, we immediately opened up the fob and found old looking corrosion inside around the battery area. We put a new battery in it and left it open to dry out (if moisture had gotten in it). After troubleshooting to no avail, I called the company and they sent someone out charging a $75 "roadside assistance fee" where a representative brought out a spare key fob. Unfortunately, the replacement fob did not start the car (or even unlock/lock the car). The representative was friendly, but not knowledgeable on other troubleshooting steps to get us back on the road. With the replacement fob taken apart (to swap/replace the battery) the original fob eventually started the car. We even tested it further by turning off and on the car a few times to make sure the old fob was working again. We then drove the vehicle to our next destination, and when we went to leave the car wouldn't start again... we made the most of it and had dinner while further drying out the original fob to see if that would help. In the meantime the company sent a replacement vehicle (at no additional charge). When the rep went to start the original car, it stated right away. The following day, I received a voicemail to go over the additional replacement fob and roadside assistance charges. The voicemail said to reference the email and/or call back for questions. I never received the email after 10 minutes of checking, and then I got a large credit card notification; $350 for the damaged key and $75 for the roadside assistance. I didn't appreciate being charged without being talked to first. When I immediately called back to politely ask some clarifying questions, the person on the phone was very rude and raised his voice to me and my wife. Given that the original fob appeared to have prior water damage and the fact that it did start the car (after drying out, replacing the battery) it was disappointing to be charged $425 for something that may, or may not, have been our fault. And to then be yelled at for asking questions. At the end of the day, the whole ordeal cost us valuable vacation time, added stress, and drastically altered our plans. The car rental itself was affordable but the first car we ended up with was older and a little dingy.

I got a newer Prius that was super clean, smooth, and honestly made me want to get the same kind of car for myself in the future -- both personally and for rentals. The service was fast, professional, and the pricing was great. They even offer free shuttle to the airport if you rent more than three days. I'll definitely be coming back and highly recommend them to anyone needing a reliable rental experience!

Cheap Rent A Car is the place to go for your car rental!…read more Trust me when I said I did my research in looking for car rentals, with a complex spread sheet listing out pros and cons. In the end, Cheap Rent A Car was the clear winner! I was hesitant at first because some of the reviews had really bad economy cars, but I took a chance and set my expectations really low. I wasn't looking for anything fancy, just a car to get me around the island. Richard is the owner, and was quick with responses. To get a quote, simply fill out the questionnaire and Richard will get back to you quickly, same day or next business day. You can also call and he can give you a quote quickly. I am 24, turning 25 in May, so a lot of the other places were up-charging significantly for the young rider fee. Although I did not get the breakout of the underage fee, the inclusive price was still better than every other competitor. My questionnaire: 19 day economy rental, during peak season (mid-Dec to early Jan). Total: ~$600 (including young driver fee) Pros: -Best price on Oahu, after a lot of research -Lowest young driver fee -Quick responses -Ended up getting a 2012 2-door Kia Forte (had AC) -Right across the street from where I was staying (huge plus) -Relatively clean car inside Cons: -Car did have some issues -Quite a few visual bumps, scratches, and dents -Power steering needs to get checked since it was tough to move the wheel and stalled a bit -Noticed the right brake light went out a day before I was going to return (had I noticed earlier, I would have went in to get a new car) -AC vent could not adjust on the passenger side Overall experience was great. Quick pick up and drop off. Like others mentioned, you pay when you pick up. I will be a returning customer the next time I'm in Oahu!

Surprised to find my usual rental car place-Enterprise on Ala Moana Blvd was not open. Conveniently located behind McKinley Car Wash, hassle free to get a car, inexpensive and genuinely friendly service. Richard the owner answered the phone every time I called, and I had no trouble extending the lease as needed. He's been in business for 15 years in this location and has clean cars at competitive rates. I was in and out of the shop within a few minutes after arriving, and reserving a car was easily done over the phone. Located at 1137 Hopaka Street. My new go-to place for a reliable rental.

Traveling in a busy city and trying to get a rental car is stressful enough. Thankfully, Enterprise…read moremade it easy and relatively stress-free. Located near the Hilton Hawaiian Village, this Enterprise is a convenient option for tourists staying in Waikiki. You can book online and cancel anytime without even having to provide credit card info initially. And you can optionally check in the day before to expedite your pickup. The rental office is small and a little hard to find, and Google Maps shows the wrong location. The easiest way to find it is to look for "ABC Stores #36", as the rental office is right next to it. Don't confuse it with the other ABC Stores location which is also at the Village. The staff was very friendly and helpful and didn't try to upsell us on features. I liked that spouses can be added as an authorized driver for free (requires presenting your license). We booked an economy car and were given a Mitsubishi Mirage, a decent compact car. The cars are located in the adjacent parking garage, and leaving and later returning the car was a snap. We dropped off the car the following night and put the keys in the drop box, and Enterprise promptly emailed a finalized receipt the next morning. The total for our 2-day rental was $308 after taxes and fees, not unreasonable for Waikiki. While this probably wasn't the cheapest rental place in town, it was a convenient and all-around reliable option, which for us was a win!

It's a small Office and it's somewhat difficult to find as the location on Maps is different than…read morewere it actually is in the Hilton Hawaiian Village Resort area. I would recommend reserving your car through the Enterprise App or website so that the you can minimize how long it takes for them to get you squared away. The vehicles are upstairs in the Parking Garage after they get you checked out. Pro tip, check with your Credit Card Company (Amex, Etc.) and your Car insurance to see what coverages you have and how that covers a rental car that way you aren't paying unnecessary additional coverage with Enterprise Rental Cars (this is how they make a lot more money, when people add all the additional packages). Also, don't forget to fill up your car before returning it because the gas costs $6.25 per Gallon if you bring it back less than where it was when you picked it up. You can drive around the entire Island at around 6 hours. I'd recommend hitting North Shore and doing the different Hikes on the Island. There's also a large Swap Meet on the Weekend at Aloha Stadium if you're looking to get more for your money while you're there.

My low mileage piece of crap Dodge Grand Caravan crapped out on me again, as motor oil started to leak out of the rear main seal. For work, I'm basically on the road the whole day, so anytime my company vehicle goes into the shop, automatically we are instructed to take out a rental. Normally, I've been going to the ilikai hotel to take out a rental, but I've had numerous issues with the service that I got from that rental car company, so luckily for me, I found Enterprise Rent-A-Car just a block away from the Ala Moana Shopping Center. Not only is this rental car much closer to the Cutter Dodge dealership, but the service was OUTSTANDING!!!! Upon walking into the rental car agency, the friendly clerk greeted me & processed my rental within 5 minutes. I was totally stunned at how efficient she did this, and upon having me sign a few electronic papers, she then told me to go into an elevator & head up to the "L' floor of the garage. Upon heading up to the "L" floor (or top floor of the garage), another clerk had my vehicle ready, and upon doing a quick look around the vehicle, I just jumped in, and took off. Easy peasy my friends!!! When I returned the rental today, I didn't even need to go into the Enterprise office, as the clerk who processed my eental vehicle return in the garage, did all of the closing of the tab. To top it off, the staff even gave me a ride back to the Cutter Dodge dealership! There's something to be said of great service.........that's how you keep loyal customers! The other rental car business at the ilikai hotel could learn a thing or two about what great service is!

Another plus to renting from this Enterprise location is that it was about $100 cheaper than renting from the one at our hotel.
