A car rental at Honolulu Airport (HNL), also known as Daniel K. Inouye International Airport, is a convenient transportation means compared to other transit options. First, you won't have to spend a lot of time on the road like public transportation. For instance, car rides to downtown Honolulu (roughly 6.1 miles away) can take about 11min, while buses have a 32min approximate travel time. Also, you'll eliminate the chance of having to wait for a bus. Car rental charges are usually upfront with no hidden or additional fees, unlike other means such as taxis and shuttles.
When considering a car rental at Honolulu Airport, note that you can select between companies with on- or off-terminal locations. Car rental agencies with locations on-airport are mostly the larger chains that are typically pricier. If you're tight on funds, we advise that you rent from the smaller agencies that generally have their locations outside the airport. Regardless of the option you choose, getting to the car rental offices and parking lots will be simple, thanks to the presence of courtesy shuttles.
Returning your Honolulu Airport car rental is seamless. First, ensure that you adhere to the fuel policy per the rental contract, i.e., whether it's prepaid fuel, the company refills, or you refill. When you're ready to drop off the rental car, take the I-H-1 W from Punchbowl Street, head to the airport exit, and use the left two lanes to enter Rodgers Boulevard. Follow the Rental Car Return signs and head over to the specific company parking lot, where you'll find a company attendant who'll help you to complete the process.
Honolulu Airport tends to have morning and evening rush hour traffic, making it difficult to pick up or drop off your rental car. Regular weekday peak travel times are around 5 -8 am going into Honolulu and about 3 - 6.30 pm heading out of Honolulu. Therefore, it'll be advantageous to place your arrival time outside the morning traffic and time your departure away from the evening traffic window to avoid getting stuck in traffic.

Where can I find the car rental companies at Honolulu Airport?
On-airport car rental offices lie on Terminal 2 parking garage's ground floor, about half a mile from the commuter or Hawaiian terminals. The easiest and fastest means to get to the rental centers is by boarding the car rental shuttles. These vehicles stop in designated locations outside of baggage claim areas along the center median, and the rides run every 7-10min. If your airline lands at the overseas terminal (Terminal 2), cross the street to the parking garage structure after exiting baggage claims E, F, G, or H and head over to the company counters on the ground floor.
Which rental companies at Honolulu Airport are the easiest to use?
There are about six rental car companies with locations within the airport vicinity, making it easy to pick up vehicles. The companies include Avis, National, Hertz, Budget, SIXT, and Enterprise, with the first five having offices at Terminal 2's ground parking area and the last one 5min away on Aolele Street. Enterprise also has self-service kiosks that smoothen the rental experience, while National has an After Hours Return service to make the vehicle drop-off simple.
What kind of documents will I need to rent a car at Honolulu Airport?
You must submit a valid, unexpired driver's license that includes your photograph to qualify for a car rental at Honolulu airport. International drivers also must provide a foreign driver's license that consists of a picture, and you won't need an International Driver's Permit to rent a car in the state of Hawaii. You'll also need a valid credit or debit card at the time of rental.

I didn’t realize that jeep was such a weird card to rent. The GPS dropped me in the middle of Honolulu twice when it failed to function. Interface is needlessly complicated with a bunch of switches that are different than other vehicles. That’s confusing. The so-called removable top is actually only two parts. It’s a tee top, but the roof doesn’t come off over the backseats or the way back. Doors slam hard and lack resistance. I will never rent another Jeep unless I absolutely need offloading capability because this made a terrible car to drive around in.

Our reservation price did not match what Thrifty had. Took 30 minutes to straighten out. Agent was very nice. We also had to wait 30 minutes in line because although there were 8 counters, there were only 2 agents. We were very tired and had wished things had gone more smoothly & a little faster. We ended up taking an hour to get our rental car.

2.0 Poor

Jun 2024

Well...it all started when I landed at the airport and walked over to the rental car counter. Thankfully there was no wait at all which was nice. However, after pulling up my reservation they immediately told me they did not have the vehicle I reserved. Which is the entire point of making a reservation, so they would hold (aka reserve) the vehicle I selected. So off the bat that was very disappointing. That was strike one. They offered me a "complimentary upgrade" to a minivan. Going from a full size SUV to a minivan is not an upgrade in my eyes and I told them that. As a result, they offered me a downgrade to a smaller SUV, but didn't offer any kind of discount in the total fee. So that was strike two. After settling on a vehicle, I handed over my license and credit card and low and behold, another ~$138 bucks were due at the counter. This was for taxes/fees/usage/blah blah blah (not gas), all the things that I thought I already paid, and the only reason I went with this booking was because of the lower rate. Turns out it was just as expensive as all the others after you added in these additional charges. Why in the world would you not charge these at the time of the booking? I'm sure they can offer some explanation consisting of "We don't charge these at the time of booking because if your trip changes then these charges will change and blah blah blah blah", but the truth is likely that they don't charge them up front so it looks as if you're getting a better rate. Then when you walk in the door to pickup your car, and you have no other options because all of the other vehicles are booked, you're up the river without a paddle and you're forced to proceed if you want the vehicle. There's strike three. Normally they'd be out, but it keeps going. After finishing the paperwork and going through the above hassles (after a full day of traveling keep in mind), I short stroll down to the parking garage where I'm directed to the vehicle. I do a walk around the outside to check for damage, which there was minimal damage in the form of small scratches and dings, I hopped in and got on my way. To my unpleasant surprise, about 20 minutes into my drive away from the airport, I noticed an ant on the center console. I squished it and didn't think much of it. It wasn't until the second ant, then the third, forth, fifth, sixth...etc appeared and were squished that I realized there was an ant infestation in the vehicle. Luckily it seemed to be centralized around the center console, however my party did end up with multiple unidentified "bug bites" by the end of our trip. Strike 4. Needless to say, after trip suggestions to Thrifty and any other companies involved in this rental experience: 1. Don't offer a reservation if you do not understand the definition of a reservation. That is the definition of incompetence. 2. Don't try to up--sell a customer to something they don't want, and adversely, if the customer settles for a lesser vehicle than what was "reserved", give them the appropriate discount. 3. Don't hide fees or costs, if you can't compete with other rental companies by being honest about the total cost, you shouldn't be in business. That's unethical and shouldn't be part of your "business plan" for success. 4. Clean the cars. It's not hard. Seriously. I will say, on a positive note the overall time to pickup and drop off the rental car was very quick. Also the attendant handling the multitude of issues was professional and polite.

Did not like discovering the hidden costs of adding a second driver. The pickup experience was AWFUL - 2-and-a-half-hour wait for the vehicle in a sultry garage without water or bathrooms - after we had completed the rental agreement. Will never rent from Thrifty again.

It should have been known ahead of me flying in and picking up the car that even with a deposit I would not be allowed to rent certain cars without a credit card. I was willing to double my deposit and buy there insurance but still could not get car I reserved. I normally have my Amex on me but unfortunately left without it. Fortunately I had plenty of cash in my checking account to cover all expenses, so I thought. Really started our vacation out on a very bad start. Ended up with a tiny car for a family of 5 with luggage. If you are willing to over pay for the insurance and put a much larger deposit down. Then why fret over not having a Credit Card. They even ran a credit check when I said I left my Credit Card. It’s only a Jeep not a Maserati.

Got to the first vehicle they offered us and it was broken and had tears in the seats and missing parts of the interior. They then said that they didn’t have anything else in the full size suv that I paid for so I had to pay to upgrade to a smaller suv cause it was considered luxury. That vehicle had no shock and was the worst and bumpiest vehicle I have ever driven.
