KONA AIRPORT CAR RENTAL REVIEWS

The line was very long, and they constantly tried to upsell, including offering a fuel service, and gave us incorrect information, such as claiming there were no gas stations near the return point.

A great choice, excellent

Excellent service

I booked a 2-door Wrangler, but the staff strongly recommended upgrading to a 4-door Wrangler for an extra $35 per day. I refused. When I went to pick up the car, they didn't have the 2-door Wrangler and gave me a free upgrade to the 4-door Wrangler. It's not sincere to push for a paid upgrade when the original car isn't available; a free upgrade would have left a much better impression. Other aspects were fine, the car's condition was acceptable, and the return process was quick with a final receipt provided.

The car was relatively new, and both renting and returning were very convenient. The staff was patient and enthusiastic. The car was cleaned inside and out. Usually, the paperwork is done in just a few minutes after you arrive at the garage. Very convenient! A great company!

The car wasn't very new.

Got lucky with the rental, they gave me a GPS for free which was a lifesaver! Kudos.

I always choose Alamo, they're great.

The staff asked if I wanted to pay extra to upgrade the car model. I firmly refused but was still given a four-door car in the end. The practice of trying to get customers to upgrade when no two-door cars are available greatly diminishes my impression of the company.

The shuttle bus from Dollar at the Big Island airport is less frequent than other companies, so we had to wait a bit. The staff at the branch had a good attitude but kept trying to upgrade our reservation for an extra fee. Since we had already booked a large SUV, we didn't want to upgrade, but the staff insisted that our reserved model couldn't go to Waipio Valley and even called the manager to offer us a discount. Seeing how eager they were to make money, we agreed to upgrade to a 5.6L Nissan SUV. After traveling around the Big Island, I feel a mid-sized SUV would be sufficient for a family of three because it rained when we went to Waipio Valley, and we couldn’t go to the valley floor due to the fog. Returning the car was very straightforward and convenient.

Simple and quick, very convenient!

The staff was very professional and recommended roadside assistance without accidents, which I think is really necessary for first-time drivers abroad. The price was also reasonable and acceptable.

Average.

The car was a bit subpar, but everything else was great.

Picking up and returning the car was very convenient.

Good

Convenient

Loyal fan of Alamo, cheap and convenient.

They kept intimidating us to upgrade to a more expensive model, claiming the reserved car wasn't available and gave us a two-door mini car, leaving us in a tough spot. About the insurance, they said if we didn't buy it, we needed to provide local social security numbers, basically implying it was illegal to drive without it. I wondered, is the Zuzuche website a big scam? Can't I just drive without these extras? I had already paid over 2000 online, then was forced to pay an additional $390 on-site. The experience was horrible, and I will never choose Zuzuche again, nor recommend it to anyone!

The processing efficiency was unexpectedly high.
