Hawaii Car Rental Frequently Asked Questions
What is Discount Hawaii Car Rental - We are booking agents for many major national car rental companies. We will find you the best discount rate tailored to your rental requirements.
What do I need to bring along when I pick my vehicle up - You will need your valid driver's license and a credit or debit card in your name. For more information on accepted Credit/Debit cards please refer to the company's terms & conditions page. The rental companies have different card and credit policies.
What is Brandx? I've never heard of them - Brandx is a major national rental company whose name can't be advertised due to some rather complicated marketing policies. They have locations at all major US airports.
Please confirm that my reservation is guaranteed without a deposit - All reservations are guaranteed. No credit information is taken till you pickup at the location.
Can I use any debit card - Debit cards must have either the MasterCard or Visa logo on them and may be subject to a credit check.
What is your cancellation policy - Cancel at any time without penalty. You may cancel by return email or on this website.
Are there any age restrictions - You must be 21 or older when you pickup. Some companies have a higher minimum age; 25 or older. Others charge a daily young Driver fee of $20-$25/day plus taxes. We almost always manage to book young drivers (21-24) without any extra fees. The only limitation would be availability or location.
What do I need to do to add my spouse as a extra driver - Additional drivers are added at the counter on pickup. Some companies charge extra, some don't. We will always take your extra drivers into account when searching for your lowest rate and will book you at the rate that works out to the lowest total.
