Wanted to get something like that for Kona area.
I would check your Hertz corporate rate for a pick-up at the Fairmont Orchid HLE in Kohala, with a return to KOA. If there's no one-way fee with your CDP, you might get a decent rate. But you'd have to find a way to get to the Fairmont when the Hertz office is open. (There appears to be a local bus which departs KOA at 1:55 pm, and arrives at the Fairmont at 2:45 pm.)

Edited to add:

I'm getting these rates for a one-way seven-day rental with my alma mater's CDP:



Eight-day rates here:
