Whether you’re visiting for leisure or business, getting a car rental at Hilo Intl Airport (ITO) will let you explore the Hawaiian town at your own pace. Car rentals offer a fast and comfortable option to get to downtown Hilo. The airport has plenty of public transportation options that may take longer to get you to your destination. You may also wait for some time before boarding SpeediShuttle, which is the most popular transport option from the airport. Car rentals are more affordable compared to the collective costs of using taxis to downtown Hilo.
Getting a car rental at Hilo Intl Airport isn’t that complicated. As a renter, just present your confirmation number and the entire email when picking up your car. Most car rental companies list all the instructions for picking up your vehicle in the confirmation email. You should book early and make sure you carry all the necessary documents during pick-up. Different car rental companies at Hilo Intl Aiport have counters on-site. The car rental desks are close to the arrivals section of the Terminal. The cars are in the parking garage close to the desks, so everything is within walking distance. No shuttle is required at any point.
Once your rental period has lapsed, you will have an easy time returning your car rental at Hilo Intl Airport. Head to the parking garage and look for the exact spot of your car rental company where you picked the car.

Pros:

hertz car rental rep. is very nice. We cancel the booking due to we were not allow to enter HI, we arrived at Honolulu at 05:00am on Monday with hawaiin airline en rout to Hiloi, but we were not allow to unless we agree to be quarantine for 10 day,yet our time to stay in HI only 7 day, so we decided to fly back to Las Vegas the same day, we called hertz car rental and we inform that we need to call expedia.com to get the refund, the 800# weren't answer for 2 day, finally got live person answer and we were to direct to call another #, the number he gave us wes the wrong #. 3 days pass finally talked to the rep. and he said to to confirm with hertz, and they will call back, in short they told us not to expect a refund at all.

Cons:

We will not recommend to book anything thru racrental.com, getting a red tape all around, book direct to hertz car rental or any other well known car rental such as avis or enterprise.

I wish we got the car we booked. The car we received was vibrating while braking at freeway speeds and made us feel completely unsafe. We changed our car the next day for free and no hassle process.

Valerie, Nov 2020

Pros:

The counter person was pretty nice and friendly. The check in and check out was really quick. We love the vehicle because it accommodated our whole family and the purpose for the rental and it was a really smooth and comfortable ride.

Cons:

The rental company should have cleaned the vehicle before renting it out. It was really dirty, inside and out, and my daughter found a used, dirty mask, that could have exposed us to Covid!!! There was dirt in the center council and in the storage compartments on the doors, and the vehicle looked like it hadn’t been vacuumed. Also, there were smudges/hand and fingerprints on the windows and center council. We really would expect a higher level of cleanliness during a time like this!!!

My budget experience went really well. I was helped by Rosa at the Hilo international airport at the budget booth. She helped me find the best rates and get the best deal possible. This experience made me feel very comfortable and inclined to return for my next rental. I hand it to Rosa and her very professional and welcoming demeanor.

Had to return two separate cars due to mechanical issues. Cars were old with approx 50,000 miles in each. Tatty interiors with rips in chairs and peeling dashboard. Went with Avis in the end. Car much cleaner and cheaper too!

Pros:

Drop off was super easy; the staff was super helpful and very sweet as she upgraded us to a bigger vehicle during our stay. Couldn’t have asked for a more pleasant interaction.

Cons:

This is not on the staff but ensuring there is a new battery in the key fob is important... there were a couple of times where I wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to lock/unlock the vehicle at some of our destinations. Spent $5 to replace the battery and it worked just fine afterwards.
