Car Rentals at Honolulu Airport

Has the most direct flights to Honolulu, and the shortest flight times.

A direct flight from Toronto to Honolulu can take over 10 hours, and there are not a lot of options for direct flights, as many have a stopover enroute. There are more direct flights during the high season for Canadians.

There are no ongoing direct flights, but there are some very popular routes with one connecting flight along the way. Air Canada has been known to add direct flights in high season, so it is good to watch for these.

Ottawa direct flights to Honolulu are non-existent, so it is best to look for the best one-stop option, with perhaps a stop in another city along the way. Be prepared for a long flight.

Calgary does have some direct flights to Honolulu, as this is also not as long a flight as those from Eastern Canada.

Canadian travellers will need to bring their up to date Canadian passport and Driver's Licence with them to the counter. It is always a good idea to check with your car insurance company to see if your current insurance covers you for car rentals, and how much coverage your policy provides. You will always be asked about insurance at the counter, and it can be expensive to purchase the various policies provided, so it is wise to already know what you are covered for, and what you might need to purchase. The contracts will be in USD, so be prepared for the conversions to Canadian dollars on your Credit or Debit card. A credit card is the best option for car rentals, as it opens the door to the most possibilities. Some Debit cards are acceptable, but they often have restrictions to certain car types, ages of drivers, etc. It is always a good idea to read the small print when booking to make sure you qualify. And if you have any questions, we are always happy to help - just give us a call or send us an email.

It is always a good idea to book your HNL airport rental car in advance, so it is ready for pick up when you arrive. Honolulu rental car costs can be higher at the airport when you arrive, as you are now subject to whatever is available at the rates being offered. Sometimes rental cars are sold out, and you could find yourself spending way more time than you want just procuring a vehicle that will suit your family. When you book your flight, secure your Honolulu cheap car rental car as soon as possible. You can always search our website again later, and if prices do go down, you can rebook at a lower rate, but if prices rise, which they often do closer to your departure date, you know you have the best price available and a guaranteed vehicle.

As a renter, bring your confirmation # with you to your pick up location. At this time you’ll be given all of the rental information including rental policies and drop off information. Your driver’s license is always a necessity. An International Driver’s Permit may be needed as an additional document if your driver’s license is not in English. A credit card matching the name of the main driver, or a debit card may be accepted if it has a Visa or MasterCard Logo, and passes a credit check where required. There are some cars that are not able to be rented with a debit card, so read the fine car company details when booking if you plan on using your debit card. You will need to bring the additional drivers, their driver’s license and credit card to the car rental counter as well.The decision is always up to you and what matters most, whether it is to spend the least amount of money, and still get around, or spend a little more and allow the driving to enhance your total experience as you feel the sun on your face, and the wind in your hair.

After booking with Discount Hawaii Rental Car, be sure to frequently check back. If you visit our website at a later date and see that prices have gone down, you can rebook at a lower rate, but if prices rise, which they often do closer to your departure date, you know you already have the best price available and a guaranteed vehicle. Prices can get very high closer to holidays and high seasons, so booking your Honolulu car rental in advance can assist you in avoiding this rise in rates as well.

You can rent most varieties of cars at Honolulu Airport. You won’t need a specialty 4WD to visit any spot on the Island that rental cars are allowed to travel. Your choice of vehicle will depend on what type of experience you desire, whether it is a “top down, open air feeling” from a convertible, a “sporty ride” in a Wrangler or SUV, or a larger minivan or smaller economy class to accommodate your family and luggage. The best car for oahu is the one that works best for you and your family, and is the least expensive option you can find. Sometimes that means it is not the least expensive car, as you have to look at how many passengers, how much luggage, etc. you will need to fit in your vehicle. If you are not so worried about price, but are looking to celebrate a special occasion, there are HNL airport convertible options as well as Wranglers for that sporty Oahui car driving experience.
