Easy to find the outlet in discovery center. Welcoming , helpful desk staff. Car rental was efficient. Getting to the vehicle in the hotel parkade was a bit of a maze. No problem driving out.

The agent was friendly when we picked up the car. However, the fees that I paid online were far less than the total I was quoted. For the Moore, the car I actually selected was not available, and I was not given an upgrade fee of charge, even though I had already paid for my reservation online with a credit card. The upsell tactics by the agent were fairly aggressive, and the full insurance was pretty outrageously priced. The car itself had extensive water spots on the exterior and was not very clean.

They are trying to charge us for damage that was on the vehicle when we received it. They have you fill out a digital damage form with pictures so that they can delete and pretend they have no record of you submitting pre-existing damage. The associate we worked with even saw and acknowledged the damage before we left the building on pickup day. Do not rent with them! Or at least have them sign off physically on damage.

Firstly on your website you could state that a 2nd driver is not only $250 but that it is $250 every 28 days and that when picking up the car the person should be told this. We were never told that the $250 was for only 28 days. Our contract was for $3476.90 from Dec 29/2023 to Feb 29/2024 which is 62 days. We have been charged $1852.03 twice (which looking back obviously included the additional driver fees)and there is an amount of $711.04 on my Visa which totals $4,415/10 which is basically $1,000. more than my original rental agreement. When we returned the car we were given a total of $438.03 still due so other than the fact that it is $400 + over the original agreement so why is $711.04 pending on my Visa? You are a company that is fraudulent towards the consumers and I would neither rent from you again nor would I recommend you. We travel a lot including 2 months every year in Hawaii.

Overall it was fine. However, picking up the car was slow and painful. Most everyone had to wait 45-60mins + to receive their car after you paid and went thru customer service rep. The van we got was new but had some obvious minor damage all around. 10 minutes into the drive from Budget and the front right TPS (tire pressure sensor) was alarming that there was an issue. Luckily, the tire was fine and just a bad sensor but was a bit annoying getting that warning everytime you started the van. Overall, it was worth it. Just need some patience at the start.

They gave me an old car making funny noise over 40 mph. There was a super long line with exactly 2 agents behind the counter who happen to be less than friendly, trying to aggressively push for things I did not want nor need. Return procedure had no explanations and when I sought to ask, they were very rude and could not be bothered. Probably the worst rental car experience overall I ever had.

In Kona, all the rental car companies need to do a better job at cleaning the car windows. The car we had, the windows were so dirty that you could hardly see the back window. At some point, that becomes a safety issue especially on an island where the street lights are dimmed.

Beware. Hertz allows you to rent a car at 12pm but they are closed some days at that time. We got there just before noon and the workers literally walked right past us and refused to assist or even acknowledge our existence. Several other people were there as well. Only one worker stopped to tell us that they’re off at noon and can’t assist.

They didn't do a walk around of the car. There were scratches prior to my pick up, which made me anxious that I would get charged for something I didn't do. I think Hertz should be doing an inspection of the vehicle prior to hand off

The vehicles are not very clean. The first truck I was given had a dead battery. The second one needed an oil change. The third one I had to clean when I got home to get rid of the smell of cigarettes and to get a clear windscreen. The counter staff were helpful but whoever checks the vehicles after “cleaning” needs some serious training.

Poor car condition, high price, off airport location

Mediocre|Mar 2023

The rental was made, unbeknownst to me, and without any indication, at an off-airport Hertz, not the one inside the airport proper, but immediately outside the fence! The representative at the off-airport trailer was helpful and professional, but I had already wasted nearly an hour in line at the on-airport location, before learning I needed to take a cab or ride share to the just-off-post location (where they washed the vehicles for both locales)! Either Hertz, or Kayak, or both, should make it clear that the rental location was indeed (just) off-airport, and indicate how to arrive there. We took a Lyft (for less than a mile).

I reserved a Jeep Wrangler but apparently all of the Wranglers dollar had were in for service. I was offered very few options and then was talked into a Ford f-150. Very quickly I realize that I was in a very unsafe vehicle. Tires were low vehicle did not seem to have been maintained. Later that day the vehicle would not even go into drive. I contacted support they asked me to bring it in the next day. The vehicle locked up again so he tow truck had to come pick the vehicle up. After that I was charged 400 plus dollars for one day rental.

Car was fine, all staff were friendly and helpful, drop off was easy, price was great. The only negative - and this is huge - was waiting in line for more than two hours at pick up at HNL (it was a Saturday). The line at Dollar was maybe ten times longer than at any other rental office. Once we finished the paperwork, actually getting the car was a breeze. When we dropped off the car (Tuesday) the line appeared maybe 2/3 as long. The lines are a reflection of the prices, but be warned...

I booked a convertible with thrifty and when I went to pick it up they informed me that they could not give me the car as they only accepted credit cards and they had a policy that required me to book the car until the time of my departure flight. I was not informed of these two things upon booking and was told I could use a debit card and there was no mention of the policy whereby the car had to be rented out until the date of departure from the island. The staff were unhelpful and provided no alternative solution.

The gas tank was not completely full when I picked up the car. I did not realize it until I had already left the rental agency. It was probably a couple of gallons short. The agency was so busy last night, there was no way I was going to raise the issue as we had a flight to catch. When I picked up the vehicle, the agents kindly drove it right up to us. The problem being there was no place to actually adjust the seats etc. before I left. Not a big deal, but I would rather have time to familiarize myself with the car before I was expected to drive away.

The experience was fine once I finally got in the car. There was no clearly designated shuttle to National from the airport, and only half as many shuttles in place as needed: the airport was a mob scene of people attempting to secure a space on a shuttle. Once at the rental kiosk their were long lines (40 minutes). Helpful service person upon reaching the counter. Then…another 30 minute wait with a crowd of 50+ people waiting for cars to be cleaned and delivered for rental. A terrible two hour ordeal to start a vacation.
