FAQ
How can I pay for my rental car?
Payment for a rental car should preferably be made by credit card. It is possible to pay by debit card, however at the rental counter you will need a credit card issued to the main driver in order to secure the deposit for your rental car.
Who is allowed to drive the rental car and what are the conditions?
A rental car can be driven by a main driver, that is the person registered in the booking. Additional drivers may be added to the reservation at extra fee. The main and additional drivers are to present a valid driving license, which they have been in possession of for at least one year (please refer to the rental conditions), and a valid identity card/passport. Additionally, the main driver is to present a valid credit card issued in their name.
Do I have to pick up and return the car at any time? What happens if I am late for pick-up?
We recommend that you pick up the car at the agreed time as the availability of the car cannot be guaranteed in case of a delay. As a rule, local suppliers keep vehicles available up to 30 or 60 minutes after the agreed time. If a delay is inevitable, please contact the rental agency (you will find their contact details on the voucher).
What documents are required to pick up the vehicle?
When picking up the vehicle, the main driver is to present the following documents: the printed voucher, their identity card or passport; their driving's license and their valid credit card.

Kauai (HI) Attractions and Travel Tips

Cheap Car Rental Kauai (HI)
Car Rental in Kauai

Known as the Garden Isle for its lush greenery, Kauai is one of the most beautiful of the Hawaiian Islands. State parks, stunning beaches, and hiking trails make this the ideal destination for a peaceful getaway. In the north of the Hawaiian archipelago, Kauai has no major cities and offers the kind of relaxing experience that it's hard to find elsewhere in the United States. Explore this beautiful island with car hire in Kauai and learn why so many visitors have fallen in love with the Garden Isle.

What can I see in Kauai?

Hikers will love the chance to visit the Nounou Mountain Range, better known as the Sleeping Giant for its unusual shape. Drive your Kauai car rental to the east of the island to reach the Sleeping Giant Trail. From the top, you'll enjoy spectacular views of the verdant island all around you, with the crystal-clear Pacific Ocean beyond.

Kauai is also home to Hawaii's very own version of the Grand Canyon. Take your cheap car hire from Kauai to Waimea Canyon State Park, a natural paradise with lookout points, hiking trails, and guided tours. Choose a 4x4 rental car in Kauai to get close to the canyon or park your car and go for a hike. There are several trails of varying lengths and difficulties, so you don't need to be a trekking expert to enjoy the canyon.

***
Tip:

As you're driving your Kauai car hire around the island, you might see some landscapes that look familiar. This paradise isle has been used as one of Hollywood's most popular backdrops since 1933. Jurassic Park, Pirates of the Caribbean, Avatar, and Raiders of the Lost Ark are just a few of the movies that have been filmed in the tropical rainforest here.

Exploring Kapa'a

Kapa'a is the largest town on the island; although, with a population of just 10,000, it can hardly be called a city. Still, anyone who chooses to rent a car in Kauai should definitely visit Kapa'a. Enjoy poke and other local delicacies at Pono Market, and don't miss Kealia Beach for sunbathing, swimming, and surfing. Drive down first thing in the morning in your low cost car hire in Kauai, and you can enjoy watching the sunrise over the water.

What wildlife can I see on Kauai?
Take your cheap car rental from Kauai to Poipu Beach for top snorkeling. In the clear waters off this gorgeous beach, you might spot seals (particularly if you come early in the morning) and sea turtles, as well as colorful fish. This beach is particularly good for kids, as the water is both clear and shallow enough for youngsters to get an eyeful of the local sea life while wading, without having to master the art of snorkeling.

Whale watching is a common pastime for visitors to the island. Again, you might see these gentle giants from a comfortable vantage point on Poipu Beach. Humpback whales tend to come to the islands between November and April, so cross your fingers.

Do I need a car to get around Kauai?
The Hawaiian Islands are packed with intriguing beaches, stunning lookout points, and tiny spots off the beaten track. For that reason, rental cars in Kauai are the best way to get around. The small population on this island means that public transportation is extremely limited. Luckily, it's easy to find cheap car rentals in the United States, and that includes Hawaii. Remember, if you want to go deep into the rainforest, the best car rental in Kauai for you will probably be a 4x4 vehicle.

When should I book my car?
HAPPYCAR will help you find the cheapest car hire on Kauai and make sure your Hawaiian vacation is a success. To help you with car rentals in Kauai, book as early as possible, and make sure to think about what type of vehicle you'll need.

As well as finding you the best car hire in Kauai, HAPPYCAR will help you with vehicles across the United States and in vacation destinations around the world. Find cheap car rentals at Dallas airport DAL, cheap car rentals from the Tampa airport TPA, or cheap car rentals in Houston. If you'd like a more exotic destination, look out for cheap car rentals in Cancun. It couldn't be easier: you choose the destination, and HAPPYCAR will help you get the right transportation.
