GoingBoatin' Posted April 5, 2018 #1 Share Posted April 5, 2018 I'll be going on Pride of America this summer. I'm trying to get my rental cars lined up. Do all rental companies have an "office" at the ports or will I have to shuttle somewhere?:confused: Is it more expensive to drop off at port vs their locations? Do the rental companies provide complimentary shuttle service? Kahluli port Hilo Port Kona (tender) port Nawiliwili port Thanks in advance!

ColinIllinois Posted April 5, 2018 #2 Share Posted April 5, 2018 I would check out the Hawaii ports of call forum and ask over there. Lots of info there to help you out. Here is the link for you. https://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=62 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeno Posted April 5, 2018 #3 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Virtually all rental companies will pick you up at the port BUT do check with the specific rental company. I can vouch that Thrifty and Enterprise both do. Kona is the only slightly difficult port. There is a Thrifty car rental office right near the dock (at the hotel) BUT it has very high rates - so at that port I recommend Enterprise, they have an office nearby and will pick you up at the port. The other rental companies are at the airport (a fair distance from the port). At all the other ports mentioned there is NO problem selecting the car rental company of your choice. I also recommend the discounthawaiicarrentals website. It gives you all the available rental companies, their rates AND allows you to specify that you are a cruise passenger and charges NO deposit on rentals arranged on the website.

dexddd Posted April 5, 2018 #4 Share Posted April 5, 2018 There is also a Hertz in the Courtyard right across from the tender dock and is right next to Thrifty. There might even be a third company in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
