Happy, have you tried pricing the rental using the IslandAir website? I've found very good car-rental rates there in the past, and there's no requirement of an IslandAir flight to take advantage of the car-rental rates.
No, I dont even know that. You are right about the very good prices going through the IslandAir site to book...
Are these rates for Hawaiian only, or good for visitors like us? The reason I ask is, there are always huge discounts for Hawaiians for hotels and cars but they have to show their IDs to get that kind of discounts.
Budget is a winner with the rates even lower than govt leisure bcd. Avis is acceptable but Hertz and National are high. I am able to get a $202xx all in with a compact, $50 lower than Avia, and over $100+ lower than Hertz and National.
I doubt I would find anything lower than Budget's. Enterprise has low rates in general without any discount code but their office closes 30 minutes earlier and there is no place on their website to input flight info! Their rates are still about 10% higher than Budget's using IslandAir's BCD.
A BIG THANK YOU to you
guv1976, your knowledge in many areas of travel is very much appreciated!
The IslandAir rates are bookable by anyone; no restriction as to residence. But if you will be picking up the car before February 1, you might also try AWD H854900, which is posted on the Avis "Deals" page: it will get you a weekly rate on a compact at KOA for $159/week, plus taxes and fees, on some -- but not all -- dates in January. Not sure if that AWD code is stackable with any Avis coupons.
