debbeck Posted January 19, 2023 #1 Share Posted January 19, 2023 We will be in Kauai for a day and a half in July 2023. I know we can get a car at the Lihue airpot but is there a car rental company for pick up near the port? Any help appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There used to be a rental car desk in the then Marriott Kauai, now Royal Sonesta Kaua'i Resort, but they changed companies when Royal Sonesta took over (Hertz to Enterprise) and then Enterprise closed the desk during Covid and hasn't reopened it. Avis/Budget has a shuttle to the airport, which is less than 3 miles away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruisinCoyote Posted January 27, 2023 #4 Share Posted January 27, 2023 We used Turo and it worked out great. We were able to find one that we could pick up across from the port 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These two agencies will shuttle passengers to/from port to airport? I hope you are correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you mean the Avis/Budget Shuttle, I don't think there is a schedule. I think they wait at the arrival terminal and load based on who has reservations, go to the airport (3 miles away) and return to the pier for more pickups. If you mean the Anchor Cove Shuttle Bus, same thing I think. They fill the shuttle, go to the center, drop off and return. Ditto for Hilo Hattie's and Walmart (if they bring back their shuttle).

I´m actually worried about getting from the airport to the port after returning It should not be a worry, just don't cut it too close. I think 5PM or 6PM is the usual sailaway time so give yourself plenty of time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is Ali'i Car Rentals, walkable from the ship for the young ones, or if you call them, they will send a shuttle.
