Top tips for hiring a car from Dollar in Kailua-Kona

  • Situated on the western coast of Hawaii Island, which is better known as Big Island, Kailua-Kona is only about 20 square miles in terms of size. But it’s filled with so many beautiful beaches, including some that are off the beaten path, that you’ll want to explore when you’re visiting the town. What better way to do this than by looking into renting a convertible when you book Dollar car rentals in Kailua-Kona? Although Dollar won’t be able to guarantee that a specific make and model will be available, you can request the type of rental car you would like when you’re in Kailua-Kona so that you can make the most of driving around.
  • Even though Kailua-Kona might not be that large, it’ll be easy to get lost in the area if you aren’t familiar with it. To avoid this, you may want to explore the idea of taking advantage of the GPS systems that Dollar can provide for you. For a small fee, you’ll be able to get access to a GPS system that will lead you down the right paths as you’re making your way around both Kailua-Kona and the Big Island as a whole.
  • When you book Dollar car rentals in Kailua-Kona, you’ll be able to pick up your rental car in any of the three Dollar locations in the area. Dollar is also one of the rental car companies that will allow you to return a rental car to any Dollar location. You might want to consider taking advantage of this by picking up a Dollar rental car at one location and returning it to another, simply so that you can do more sightseeing along the way. It’ll allow you to take every opportunity to see what the Big Island has to offer.
  • Taking a trip to Hawaii can be a little stressful since it will involve flying from the continental U.S. to The Aloha State, which sits out in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. To alleviate some of this stress, you should utilize the customer service team at Dollar if you have any questions or concerns about your rental car. A friendly representative will be able to assist you in the days leading up to your trip to Kailua-Kona. They can ensure your rental is all ready to go as soon as you arrive.

Car was clean and well-maintained. My flight arrived early and my car was not ready yet, so they convinced me to upgrade to a bigger, more expensive car which I regret as I did not need a bigger car. Otherwise all was good and car was great.Reviewed 12 Jul 2024

Was charged over 100 dollars more than what had been stated on my initial reservation because of a damage waiver they did not tell me about.Reviewed 28 Jun 2024

Very, VERY poor customer service experiences. When we picked up the car and when we dropped it off. Was not prepared to start my vacation off when an aggressive employee that was potentially the rudest i’ve ever been treated.Reviewed 3 Dec 2023

I stood in line for 1 1/2 hours to get the car. And when I got in the car, I found out they had rented the same car to someone else. They upgraded me but when I drove away I noticed the tank was only 3/4 full.Reviewed 22 Sept 2023

The oil at 0% was a little disturbing. When I called, the woman on the line basically told me to keep driving as according to her there were 2,000 miles before an oil change. I said I wouldn't do that and she agreed to exchange vehicles for me. Only problem was I had to go back to the airport to pick the vehicle up. They wouldn't deliver one to me. Also, on the exchanged vehicle, the key fob battery gave out so that didn't work!Reviewed 14 Mar 2023

We needed a car for four. The camaro, although way cool was not a good fit for us. I wish we weren’t so tired after getting there to go back in and get something more appropriate for us.Reviewed 6 Jul 2021
