+1 877 283 0898Top tips for renting a car from Thrifty at Kona Intl Airport
- One of the primary reasons to book Thrifty car rentals at Kona International Airport is that they are an easy pick-up for renters arriving at the airport. If you need car rental services when out of town and arrive in Kalaoa via flight, the best option would be to get them at the airport. It is easier and saves you the money you would spend on the ride from the airport to the city. You can pick up car rentals upon arrival and drive to the city’s major destinations like Kaloko-Honokohau National Historical Park, Manini’owali Beach, and Makalawena Beach.
- The Thrifty car rental counter at the airport is a busy facility, and you can find long queues. This is true, especially when arriving during weekday mornings, evenings, and weekends. However, if you book Thrifty car rentals at Kona International Airport, you will save a lot of time picking car rentals. You would save time choosing the right car, filling out all the paperwork, assigning the rental agreement, and picking up the car keys. If you book Thrifty car rentals at Kona International Airport, you would only need to present the documents, pick up the car and drive off. KAYAK lets you choose the add-on features you need, and you can get better deals.
- Once you are ready to return the Kona International Airport Thrifty car rentals, please drive back to the location. Its address is Kina International Airport, 73-200 Kupipi St, Kailua-Kona HI 96740. Once you get there, please park the car rental, take out your items and lock the car. Record your mileage and submit the rental contract alongside the car eyes at the car rental counter. The car rental counter closes daily at 10:30 pm. However, you can use their after-hour services, which let you drop off car rentals outside operational hours. Please leave the car rental agreement and keys in the drop box area if you opt for this.
- Even though the after-hour service is for your convenience, it has a downside. Thrifty car rental agreements hold you responsible for the car rental until the time of the formal check. This means that if your car gets damaged during the drop-off window to the time of the routine inspection, you will have to pay for the damages. Thus, consider dropping off the car rental during operational hours.
