Islands are notoriously expensive, but Expedia's "Great Deal" function helps you find the lowest prices available for Hawaii Island car rentals in each class. Select the features you need for your journey to the Umauma waterfalls or your relaxed beach vacation at Hualalai to be sure that you've got a great deal.

Some of the best places to rent a car on Hawaii Island

Most car rentals on the Big Island are at the two big airports, Kona and Hilo, offering convenient solutions for your whole trip. But, depending on how much time you plan to spend relaxing on the beach, you may want to wait to get what could be the best deal for car rental on Hawaii Island. Reserve a rental car in Kailua-Kona or Waimea (Kamuela) to add some exploring onto your beach vacation or make your way from one side of the island to the other.

 

Advice on car rental on Hawaii Island for first-time visitors

Even though there are a lot of similarities to the mainland, driving a rental car on Hawaii Island is a bit different. Gas prices are higher than on the mainland, and speed limits change frequently, which means a slower speed in general helps avoid speeding tickets and improve your fuel economy. When you pick up your rental car on Hawaii Island, it's a good idea to check with the company for updates on road conditions. Due to its size, the Big Island also has more wildlife than the rest of Hawaii, so keep your eyes out for unexpected animals.

 

Hawaii Island car rental types

With its bountiful selection of active vacation and outdoor adventure spots, SUVs are a popular choice for a car rental on Hawaii Island, especially if you're heading up along Hawaii State Highway 200, also known as the Saddle Road, or to the summit of Mauna Kea, which requires 4WD. On a romantic getaway for two? Then maybe it's time to finally snag that sports car rental on Hawaii Island you've been dreaming of and hug the curves along the coast on the Mamalahoa Highway. Or, make your trip smooth sailing from start to finish with a luxury car rental on the Big Island to transport you to and from Kona airport and around the beaches of the northwest coast in style.

 

One-way and long-term car rentals on Hawaii Island

If you want to make the most of your time exploring the beaches of the northwest coast, it might be a good choice to book a one-way car rental on Hawaii Island from Kona to Hilo airport. Staying for a few months and want to stay mobile? Our partners also have great options for long-term rentals, so you can spend more time exploring the incredible nature around Mauna Kea, the tallest mountain in the world as measured from its sea floor base.
