SUV Hire in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii

The wait time to pick up a car we had reserved for 2pm was 3 hours and 15 minutes. What a way to spend your first day on vacation. Need proof??? I’ll send photos of What it was like. We couldn’t cancel because it was outside the cancellation window.

I waited 2.5 hours to get a car. Then after driving a mile away, the car died. It took an additional 1.5 hours to get a new vehicle, because they assigned me one that was also assigned to another group. Ultimately, they tried to make it right, but they seem severely short staffed. And from speaking to other customers who had the same experience, it didn’t appear like my situation was unique.

Adelene was amazing! Easy, friendly, overall great experience. Our drivers to and from the airport were super friendly and very helpful as well! One of the best rental experiences we've had!

We picked up our vehicle rental at the downtown location in Kona and the overall experience was great. We were assisted by Melvin who was very friendly as well as informative during the completion of the paperwork process. He also gave us a list of his recommendations for beaches, restaurants, tours and sights to see in the Kona area which we found very helpful.

We experienced a lot of homophobia and shady upsells that were deceptive. Never using Hertz or Kayak again.

They added a $250 charge during the return. This charge was not for mileage, damage, fines, tolls, or fuel without telling me about it or explaining why. I call that being sleazy and dishonest business practices. Terrible business practices

Camaro pretty but uncomfortable

Some of the staff in Kona were not very interested in helping customers. We waited about 30 minutes in line when there was only one party ahead of us.

Everything was great from start to finish!

Excellent all around!

I prescribed a pickup at Kona airport What I got was a downtown rental That was closed when I got to the airport office at 10:30 Airport Office manager refused to do the rental from there because "we have no cars" & suggested i) I try to find a cab at the airport to take me 25 mi north (est cost $80US), & ii) that in the morning I take a tax i (est cost, >$120 US) to downtown to see if the rental was still there. Absolutely brutal customer relations. She didn't care whether my wife & i lived or died. I was completely disgusted. Never been treated so badly by anyone, ever. Eventually the counter guy found me an old Dodge van for a day (cost $160 + tax etc) so at least I could take my wife to our destination. The van was filthy. I mean, filthy. And if my wife wanted to drive, sorry that will be $13/day Took the filthy van back next morning & went across the St. to Budget & got a car. Budget didn't say "we have no cars". Budget said: "if your wife wants to drive, go ahead. No charge." I will never ever under any circumstance sign up to rent a car from Thrifty. In fact, I will not use your service ever again because you completely mislead me by getting my rental from a place 20 miles from where I was. AWFUL.

The vehicle was tired and in need of maintenance. The vehicle I requested was not available, but they comped me an extra driver to compensate.

Pick up and drop off were very convenient and quick. Rental vehicle was in pretty bad shape. A lot of damage to the outside of the car.

Very good service…fast and friendly. Vehicle seemed almost ready to be laid out to pasture and was not sparkling clean

Service was great. Car was old and rundown.

Great experience! Recommend!

Very easy process. Definitely recommend for others and will use them again.

Pick up and drop off was not good

Waited for shuttle van, which passed us three times. Eventually had to take a taxi to hotel. Enterprise said they would contact us and deliver a car. Never heard from them again. Last time for Enterprise…..

I’ve had many different experiences with enterprise locations over the years. This location crew for both the pickup at Enterprise and drop off at Alamo was very efficient, fast, friendly, and professional. Kudos to them and makes me want to rent with Enterprise again! Great job, thanks!

Just fine
