All the major car rental companies have toll free numbers, so call yours. In June all major companies picked up at the pier except Kona, which is tender port. There's a car rental place across the street from the tender dock, but they were NOT efficient, so we did a $5 shuttle to a great snorkeling beach.

Ine Posted July 15, 2006 #3 Share Posted July 15, 2006 In Hilo and Kona AVIS doesnot have shuttles... In Kona rent through Dollar, they have an office in K. Kamehameha Hotel, opposite the tenders. Cars by reservation only there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Canuck Posted July 20, 2006 Author #4 Share Posted July 20, 2006 I have tried this...the call centers are far from the actual rental places and they have no idea how things actually work..that is why I am relying on cruise critic people..they have been there and done that also just checked my reservation and it went from being unlimited miles to 100 a day...may have to change companies just for that unannounced surprise even though I won't likely go over 100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lambs2 Posted July 20, 2006 #5 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Thrifty car rental was the best deal we found. Use the link below for the best prices and also become a Blue Chip member.

Cruise Leprechaun Posted July 20, 2006 #6 Share Posted July 20, 2006 I agree with Lambs. We used Thrifty everywhere ( except Kona where we didnt rent a car). Price and service was great and shuttles were wlays there (Kauii was slow waiting at the counter. I am a Blue Chip member but they didnt have the Blue chip line opened up). Several of these posts say you can put in a promotion code "PC2017" into the web site and get a really great rate. Dont know what thats about - just passing it along in case you do.

calimn Posted July 21, 2006 #7 Share Posted July 21, 2006 We used Hertz on every port - no problems, but was longer wait/drive to airport in Kona - do some research and get the "frequent customer cards" - many are free, they speed things up. We also got off the ship (POAM) early every day so that helped! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
