Top Tips for Renting a Convertible Car in Kailua-Kona

  • Few things can be compared to driving a convertible with the sun on your skin and the wind in your hair. With the roof folded down, you get to take in your surroundings as you zip down a winding road. Convertibles put the fun in vacation, and with the top down, you have a 360-degree view of the surrounding scenery. Kailua-Kona is the land of sunny weather and sandy beaches, making convertibles a perfect fit.
  • Renting a car in Hawaii can be costly. It gets more expensive when renting a Kailua-Kona convertible car rental because of the type of car. However, the price is always influenced by the time of year and the place you're renting from. Always try booking your convertible rental car early to get a better rate as well.
  • Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, tends to be hilly and filled with people. Hence, not only does your car's speed matter, but the surrounding cars also need to be kept in mind when driving in Kailua-Kona. A convertible allows complete visibility. Regardless, stick to the speed limit to avoid accidents and speeding tickets, which are expensive in this area. The convertible rental company can also be fined about $2,000 per mile over the limit.
  • It's best to avoid driving a rented convertible during winter. The weather tends to be cold, dry, and even dusty, which is hardly enjoyable. In addition, of course, the dust tends to cling to cars, making it very difficult to clean without scraping the paintwork. The weather can also change from sunny to a light rain shower. So, if you like keeping the car rooftop down, watch out for that as well.
  • Book your convertible car rental in Kailua-Kona at least 4 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • September is typically the cheapest month to rent a convertible car in Kailua-Kona, with prices around C$ 68 per day. The most expensive month is February, with average prices of C$ 81 per day.

FAQs About Renting a Convertible Car in Kailua-Kona

  • Which are the safest areas to park a rented convertible in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii?

    Don't go to a public parking garage. They are usually full of cars that aren't properly locked. The most secure place is either on the side of the road or in an apartment or condo. However, don't park in the main areas; people living in those buildings are likely to complain about your car. It would help if you also avoided parking by someone's home for too long to avoid getting robbed. Parking near the airport terminals is also a great idea.

  • Where are the best car rental locations to rent a convertible in Kailua-Kona?

    There are several quality car rental companies in Kailua-Kona to choose from. They include Hertz, Budget, Kona Beachside Rentals, Aloha Car Rental, and many more.

But the car rental companies mentioned above are considered to be among the top and tend to offer fair deals and fair rates.

  • Do convertible car rental companies in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii enforce come with insurance?

    There is such a thing as rental car insurance in Hawaii. Even if the company doesn't offer it, ask about it to help protect you from any risks in the event of an accident. If the company doesn't provide insurance, try getting one from a legal third-party insurer or purchasing one with your credit card. Regardless, exercise caution while driving and follow agreements by the rental company.

  • What convertible car brands can handle the landscape in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii?

    The right car can make or break your vacation, even a convertible. So, if you're looking for a convertible that can handle the landscape in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, then it's best to go with either a Mazda or an Audi Convertible. The Mazda is easy to maneuver and has enough room for four adults. The Audi Sport back Convertible can also fit two people in the back seat and usually takes up less space on the road than others.

Pros:

the car was easy to drive

Cons:

Horrible experience at pick-up. Had to wait for over an hour to get a car, sitting on the pavement. Alamo did not have the cars to cover the reservations. Manager gave me, and others, a free tank of gas (by telling us to return the cars without filling up the gas tank) as an apology for the mess at pick-up. That was considerate, but, when i dropped the car off i was given no receipt from Alamo. When i checked my credit card statement, I saw that Alamo had charged me nearly $70 more than the rental agreement. Clearly, that was for filling up the gas tank that I was told to return empty as a courtesy. I sent Alamo an email two days ago about this. NO response so far.

Pros:

Staff was friendly, very clear about the pickup and dropoff process, even though I didn't pick up my car from Enterprise (per instructions from the rental agency)

Cons:

I wish they'd had the car I'd reserved ready. Originally they tried pushing a crossover on me and even the car I got was not the one I reserved. Given how expensive gas is in Hawaii, I reserved a compact on purpose, and was disappointed to not receive one.

In general our rental experience in Hawaii was fine. Pick up was crazy due to the amount of customers and not enough rental agents. However, the agents themselves were very pleasant & professional, despite several disgruntled customers. Our rental was a brand new model, was clean and waiting for us after 90 minutes in line. Would rent via Kayak/Hertz again.

pickup overall was pretty bad. very long lines with very slow checkout process. stood in line for a good hour before being helped. then because of a short staff, the person helping me had to leave to help other people who were dropping off cars or had other issues after checking out. staff was super friendly just stretched really thin and process to check out (even though I completed all information ahead of time by scanning QR code on bus) was really slow

Only problem was that the pick up process was between 90 and 120 minutes. The wait line was about 30 minutes. The person behind the counter was stressed out (new employee) and it took about 90 minutes to get my vehicle. Drop off was easy (5 minutes). And they billed me exactly what they quoted me.

At first it seemed it was going to be a long wait at counter , but KOA Budget was well staffed with experienced employees; which moved the line. We received our Jeep and headed out. Shortly after leaving we noticed the AC not working as it should and returned the vehicle. Again service was quick and easy to change vehicles. Thank you

The key fob to our Jeep ran out of batteries on the 2nd day. As a result, had to get the car towed and exchange the car. While that process was fairly smooth, it effectively blew the entire morning. At the counter, the agent told me that the Jeep's key batteries commonly run out after 4 months. He also told us the trick on how to get the Jeep started again. Had we known, it would have saved the hassle of the tow.

We were downgraded to a car we didn’t want. We reserved a Kia Soul but were given a Kia forte. The batteries in the key fob were drained and the key fob didn’t work. I had to manually lock and unlock doors. When we asked for a receipt when we returned the rental the representative at Avis was rude and unhelpful. I still don’t have a receipt for the rental.

Pros:

Cons:

I paid for insurance when booking through KAYAK and was then told there was no insurance on the car. This was an unpleasant surprise after a flight. Travelling with a baby (after a flight) I didn’t have the luxury of time to go through emails and booking details to find out where the confusion (or dishonesty) was. Turned out I bought separate insurance not linked to Avis and the car through KAYAK. So I ended up paying twice and the overall deal was a lot more expensive than it should have been. The Avis attendant also wouldn’t stop chatting unnecessarily so I couldn’t concentrate on the business of getting the car asap and my family to our accommodation. The car was OK but not clean enough but I guess acceptable for a rental.
