FAQs
Below is a list of frequently asked questions. If you don’t see your question, please visit our dedicated FAQ page.
Do I need to rent a Van on Kauai?
A van rental on Kauai is a good idea. There are limited options when it comes to public transportation, especially when you get further away from the big city. Having a van also gives you freedom to go where you want, when you want. For a list of tourist attractions or adventures, check out our travel resources page.
How old do I need to be to rent a car?
You need to be at least 25. Younger drivers (20-24) may be allowed to rent with a small fee.
What do I need to rent a Van?
The car company will require a valid driver’s license, your passport, and a credit card that matches the name of the main driver. Debit card policies vary by supplier, so please review the detailed terms and conditions on the booking page for specific requirements.
How much does a Van rental in Lihue cost?
The cost of a van rental in Lihue depends on the car company and the time and length of your vacation. High tourist seasons usually have higher rates than low-season rentals. It is always best to book as soon as you have your airline tickets and know your pick-up and drop-off dates and times. You can then keep searching, and when you find a better rate, cancel the existing reservation as soon as you book the new rate.
What’s included in the rental rate?
The rental rate includes the government rental fees and taxes. For non-US citizens, it may include limited liability insurance if your driver’s license is from outside the US or Canada. Inclusive rates are available for all other countries.
What payment methods do you accept?
All major credit cards are accepted. Acceptance of debit cards varies by supplier as described in the Terms and Conditions on the booking page.
What if my travel plans change?
You can cancel your van rental on Kauai at any time, even the day of pickup, before you pick up the vehicle. There is no fee.
What types of van models can I rent?
The various car companies have van models from many major brands. Whether you’re looking for a minivan rental on Kauai or a full-size passenger van, we’ve got you covered.
Can I rent something other than a van?
Yes, you can also find Kauai car rentals through our site. We’ve got compacts, mid-size and full-size sedans, and SUVs.
How long does it take to drive around Kauai?
While the main U-shaped road on Kauai can be covered in approximately 3 to 4 hours of continuous driving, you should allocate a full day or more to fully appreciate the major attractions like Waimea Canyon and the North Shore (Princeville/Hanalei).
Because the Na Pali Coast divides the north and west sides of the island, there is no road connecting them. This means you will need to travel back the way you came or drive through the central areas to switch sides.
Typical driving times for major routes are:
- North Shore: A 2-hour round trip.
- Poipu: Approximately 1 hour round trip.
- Lihue to Waimea Canyon: 1 to 1.5 hours each way.
