Car was perfect, and in great running condition. Just the right size for our group. Great gas mileage. We were even able to fit all of our luggage. Would rent from them again.

Exploring Kauai

Kauai is the Garden Isle—small but packed with incredible things to see and do. Here are a few tips to make the most of your visit:

Choose the right vehicle

You'll want an SUV. Cruising the South Shore? A sedan works great. We can help you pick the perfect ride for your plans.

Ask us for recommendations

We've lived on Kauai for years and know the best beaches, restaurants, and hidden gems. Just ask—we love sharing our island with visitors!

Book your extras ahead

Select 'add-extras' at checkout to have beach gear, kid supplies, or a cooler waiting in your vehicle at pickup.

Plan for the weather

Kauai's North Shore gets more rain, while the South Shore is sunnier. Pack layers and a light rain jacket for the best experience.
