Need to rent a car in August for a week at the Honolulu airport. Prices are very high! Has anyone gotten a deal or have any hints for lower prices?
Thank you!
Thank you!
I always have luck renting through Costco. You have to be a member though. You don't pre-pay so keep checking and if the price goes down (which is usually does), you can cancel and re-book for no cancellation fees.
I rented a car from HNL for our October trip months beforehand at a high price, but as we got closer to the trip, the price went way down. I found that it was lowest about 3 weeks before our travel dates. I'd reserve something now (assuming it can be canceled) but keep an eye out a couple of months before your trip.
I originally booked through Discount Hawaii Car Rentals (google it) but ended up getting a better deal directly through Enterprise in the end. We don't have a Costco close enough for it to be worth it to buy a membership.
I've had great success with http://www.discounthawaiicarrental.com and with Costco. You can join costco now to get the discounts if you want. Unfortunately Sam's closed their travel department a couple of years ago. The thing about rental car rates is they change more often and to a larger degree than do even airline rates. We had 3 weeks of rental 18 months ago all around $200 per week. 2 weeks reserved full size (one upgraded for free) and the last week in standard and was $188 on Kauai.Need to rent a car in August for a week at the Honolulu airport.
