If you’re renting a home in Poipu, check steepness of driveway. Our car’s clearance was an issue when fully loaded because of how steep the driveway was.

Be certain to make sure you get the rental car reserved.

We rented the Chrysler Pacifica because we needed extra space for our 6 passengers. The rental car pick up and drop off area is close to the airport.

Rent in advance and check all renting sites. We got a bran new dodge Ram for 100$ a day. Gas is more expensive, but man was it cheaper than anything else.
Verified travelerDec 2023
Traffic can be bad at times, so I suggest getting a place right in the middle of the island, so you can see the best of both the north and south side has to offer. Also, if you can leave the car and walk to the place, that would be best.
Verified travelerDec 2023
Driving on Kauai is ok. Don’t be in a hurry. Lots of 25-35mph zones and two lane roads. Roads in good repair mostly and only a few traffic headaches. Pretty easy to get around on a very busy holiday week. Going off hours helps
Verified travelerDec 2023
Be prepared to wait, and only have the renter go inside to wait in line. Also, bring your Costco card as there is a Costco gas station on your way back to the airport.

KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Lihue

  • Kauai has limited public transportation so if you are visiting, a rental car is really important. First, you’ll need a car to get around to restaurants, shops, and grocery stores. Additionally, numerous beaches and some of the more popular attractions like Waimea Canyon, Grove Farm, and Kauai Museum are a good distance from most hotels and resorts.
  • Visiting Hawaii is a dream vacation for many. Kauai’s capital city, Lihue, is home to the largest and the most popular airport in the state. If flying into the Daniel K. Inouye International Airport, you’ll enjoy many conveniences, including six on-site rental car companies. The rental car offices are located outside of baggage claim. Access to other rental car agencies is also possible via a shuttle.
  • In Kauai there are lots of bicyclists and pedestrians. While driving, you’ll need to keep an eye out for them. Additionally, note that there are some one-lane bridges on the island. Read up on one lane bridge etiquette before driving on one to be prepared.
  • If you live in a big city, you’ll feel as though there is little to no rush hour in Lihue. However, the busiest traffic time in Lihue starts in the morning at about 7 a.m., when residents are headed to work, and continues through around 8:30 a.m. The evening commute begins a little earlier than in most other cities (around 3:30 p.m.) and continues to about 6 p.m.
  • One crucial thing that drivers need to know about before heading off in car rentals in Lihue are the seatbelt laws that exist in the state of Hawaii. Hawaii has a universal seatbelt law. This law states that all passengers in the vehicle, no matter whether they are riding in the front or backseat of the vehicle, must buckle up while driving. Any child that is four years of age or less needs to ride in a child safety seat. Children that are between the ages of four and eight must ride in either a booster seat or an appropriate child safety seat.
  • Hawaii has very specific laws about texting and driving that drivers should be aware of before hopping behind the wheel of car rentals in Lihue. When driving a vehicle in Hawaii, you may not use a mobile electronic device. This means that you may not text, email, browse social media, or use any type of music devices in your phone while you are driving a vehicle. The law also states that you cannot use your device when you are at a stop sign or red light. You can use your mobile device so long as you're doing so in a hands-free manner.
  • Besides all the natural beauty that exists in the state of Hawaii there are also some great annual events that make a fantastic reason to get Lihue car rentals. For about 10 days every year in July, you will find the Koloa Plantation Days that take place in Old Koloa Town. This event focuses on the history of the area and offers Hawaiian music and plenty of local food specialties. On the first day of May every year, all Hawaiians celebrate Lei Day. During the event, the Kauai Museum celebrates the event and includes lei-making lessons, live entertainment, food vendors, and even a lei contest.
  • 25% of our users found rental cars in Lihue for C$ 53 or less
  • Book your rental car in Lihue at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Intermediate rental cars in Lihue are around 43% cheaper than other car types, on average

FAQs about renting a car in Lihue

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Lihue?

    Any car will suffice when driving in Kauai. However, if you can afford it, you might want to rent a Jeep or convertible. This way you can let the top down or remove the hardtop from your Jeep to take better advantage of the views and fresh breezes of Hawaii.

  • What’s the speed limit in Lihue?

    The highest speed limit in the city of Lihue is 50 mph. Be careful to watch for speed limit signs to avoid getting a ticket. You should also be aware that Hawaiians are often more laid back and carefree than other Americans, especially as drivers. Consequently, they are rarely in a rush so you won’t have to worry about road rage or stressful driving while in Kauai.

  • Where are the best places to park in Lihue?

    The airport, a public beach, Vidinha Stadium, and several restaurants make up the city’s downtown. Special events, including a Farmer’s Market and a 4th of July celebration, are also held in a park in the center of the city.

  • Can I rent car seats for my kids when I rent a car?

    Generally you will find that major rental car companies offer car seats that are available to you when you rent a car. It is always best to confirm ahead of time when you book in your car of their availability.

The 4 dr keep wrangler had no power locks or windows…therefore no way to easily u knock and lock the car. Super base model. It was fairly new but we saw several others w nicer trims. Separately the fuel wasn’t full at pickup. We did 150 miles and were empty and had to fill up. Didn’t have time to haggle at the counter so I have to call them about that. We paid well over $100+ per day and the value wasn’t worth it.

At the Lihue a/p check-in counter, there were a lot of extra charges added to the bill. Plus charging $18.00 daily to add a second driver. When I asked for an explanation about the extra charges, there was just a take it or leave it attitude. They were not friendly nor helpful. However everything about the car itself was great. It was bigger than expected, so all of us were comfortable and the surfboard fit into the back without a problem. I would probably rent from Dollar again, but not at in Lihue.

The wait for our car in line was over an hour. We got a chair for an elderly lady that we eventually moved to head of the line. They charged us an additional $214 saying you didn’t send those fees with our payment. The car was great, but the service needed more people to accommodate very line, out the door, line! Very slow, not congenital person!

There was a 2 hour wait list to pick up car in 80 degree weather and none of the vending machines were stocked to have something cold to drink while waiting. Finally we got up to the counter where we were greeted by the manager who breezed us through and we got a Jeep. Unfortunately, the Jeep had manual locks and windows which I didn’t realize newer cars still had manual entry so for the entire trip we had to reach across seats and reach behind to the back seats to unlock everyone’s doors. What a missed opportunity to market the newest Jeeps. Dropping off a car was much less painful and we were able to pull up, get out and hop on shuttle back to airport in less than 5 minutes. Dollar really needs to come up with faster process for pick up or provide comfort stations during the wait.

Pros:

The woman outside checking on reservations was very kind. The billing was not easy to understand. When you place the order it says you were charged the quoted amount. When you are at the counter they give you an additional bill. Seemed to add up to the original amount but was confusing.

Cons:

The billing part could have been better. The car was not very clean inside but was a good car and comfortable. The staffing was very understaffed. Three car rental companies inside and only one or two staff. Should be one staff person per car company. Very long wait in line.

While Kayak states that changes can be made for free, Sixt does not honor that and wanted to charge $250 for a date change. Also, when we arrived at Sixt in Lihue Chrissy, the Sixt representative, said that they had to redo the rental charge because the credit cards didn’t match which was not true. However, I went along with it. She assured me original charge would be refunded. When came time to pay it was $1,000 more. She said that the car I had reserved was unavailable and was attempting to rent me an Escalade. I stood my ground and somehow the car I had rented originally was there and the price I initially paid was charged. I confirmed with credit card account that she refunded and then recharged the same card. Very sneaky . Be aware.

I made my reservation months in advance requesting a small SUV, but when I arrived they had none. What is the point of making a reservation if the vehicle is not available upon arrival?

The pickup process was extremely frustrating. They ask you to pre check in online the day before, which took quite a long time to verify my license. Despite doing this, they collect all of the same information at the counter and it did not speed up the process at all. When we arrived there was only one person behind the counter and a line of customers. There was one other employee standing outside whose sole job was to keep us in line outside of the office area. However, she left shortly thereafter and went to stand inside in the air conditioning. It was then our responsibility to try to see through the darkly tinted office for the sole representative to wave us in. I used a competitor the week before on another island and had a much better experience. Moving forward I will certainly be avoiding using Hertz during my travel.

Recognize that the traveler can't foresee state law changes and that charging people for a car they never used is both immoral, bad business practice and pisses people off. I will never use Priceline or Thrifty again. And we travel all over the world.

They had trouble locating my reservation and the number I was given from kayak was not a viable number. He’s created a significant distress and confusion of over paying for the vehicle.

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.

Cons:

Waited in line for over 2 hours to receive my car. One person was working behind the desk for 50 customers while other employees watched and chatted. Truly terrible.

People were great. Car was not in good condition- wheels needed balancing and the car seems to have been abused previously. The shuttle bus drop-off didn't happen so I walked from the agency back to the airport.
