We rented a minivan during our stay in Kona Hawaii. The only good thing they had was the GPS unit available for rent.

Other then that, for the 5 days we had the van, it had more bugs then carters got pills, brown bugs, black bugs...any kinda crawling bug you can think of

It got to the point where I simply bought a can of bug spray. From the looks of it (i have no idea what kind of bug but it was brown) cockroaches were even coming out of the top dash!!

The car itself was very dirty (inside) with mud stains and even what looked like a dried tang spill in the very rear of the car

Welcome to FlyerTalk.

Being in the tropics, this is not at all uncommon. I remember the first time it happened to me ... at night, I'd stand ready to attack before opening the door, as they'd all scurry once the dome light came on. At first I tired to swap out the car, but a friend told me it's so common that she regularly bug bombs her car so that's what I eneded up doing. The rental car companies will reimburse you for the bug spray if you save and present them with your receipt (or, at least, that's been my experience).

Agreed. The Lincoln I rented had two cockroaches in the trunk. I didn't know they'd reimburse me for bug spray.
