For a data point - was in HNL this past week. Picked up on Tuesday at 2pm and Dropped off on Thursday at 1130am.

Pickup was straight forward and I seemed to be the only one around. Counter had a sign that said go straight up to the booth on the 4th (I think) level of the garage. Went up to the both and the lady inside was very friendly. She asked for ID and to see the safe travels page to verify the green check marks were there. Mentioned I came interisland so she looked at my previous arrival in Maui from earlier in the week with no issue (No Interisland testing needed going to Oahu). She then asked if I wanted a car or an SUV. I mentioned they gave me an SUV on Maui so she suggested a few options. She mentioned they had a new VW Tiguan with 4Motion and asked if I would like to try it out. I figured why not so she offered me the keys and directed me to the stall number. That was that.

Looking at the vehicle selection, they had around 40 vehicles parked in stalls. There were a variety of sedans, SUV's, and Convertibles. Also had a few premium and luxury vehicles as well. When I booked the only options were Economy through Full Size so I just booked the Full Size option. My fears of a shortage were put at ease between my experience here and at OGG. Granted I did ask her how things were going and she mentioned that this past week was a much needed break for them as they were able to reclaim much of their inventory between the post-Memorial Day travel returns and the start of the summer rush. It was the most inventory she had seen in a while.

I will also second MCO Flyer's comment above. I practically ran to the Restrooms when returning but they certainly were nice. It was a zig zag to try to find the CONRAC Garage, however they did add some additional signage (I was told) to make it a bit easier to find. Walk to Terminal 2 was simple. All and all can't complain and it looks to only get better when the CONRAC opens in the future.
