Hawaii Jeep Wrangler Rental Information

Rent a Jeep Wrangler - Information:

Hawaii Car Rentals is a wholesale corporate discount vendor of Jeep Wrangler rentals for major national brand car rental companies. We rent Wranglers on Kauai, Oahu, Maui and the Big Island for Avis, Budget, Dollar, Thrifty and Enterprise. Because of our volume, we get discounts and waivers that are not available to the general public so we can offer you Jeep Wranglers in Hawaii at the cheapest rates possible. We are happy to pass our corporate discounts, waivers and bonuses on to you. That way you get great rates, the car companies rent more cars, and we get a commission - everybody wins!  Whether it be a 2-door or a 4-door, driving around the islands in a Jeep Wrangler is a really fun thing to do, especially with the removable top down. Lots of people want these sporty vehicles so they are in high demand and much sought after. 

Short Supply:
Because of this and economic cutbacks, the car rental companies are keeping a pretty tight rein on their inventories. So availability of Wranglers is limited. Though both the two and four door Wranglers are very popular cars to rent, we're told the manufacturer is only selling the 4-door models to some or all the Hawaii car rental companies. In addition, some of the car rental companies are holding back or blocking out (called blackout dates) Jeep Wranglers so they can rent them out exclusively at a much higher rate. When they do this, these vehicles are not available to corporate discount websites like this one. This is the case during holidays, but especially a few days to a week or two out. It all boils down to the fact that you really need to reserve early to get one. It doesn't cost to reserve and you can cancel the reservation any time if you don't find that we have the best and cheapest Jeep Wrangler rates in Hawaii.

Driving Off-Road is not allowed:
By the way, most car rental companies in Hawaii say off road travel is not allowed on any of the Hawaiian Islands, even if you're renting a 4 wheel drive Wrangler. They don't want you to take cars off the paved roads. People ask about driving on Saddle Road on the Big Island, which is the road to get to Mauna Kea and the way some local islanders travel between Hilo and Kona. The car rental companies we represent all allow driving their cars on Saddle Road but a couple do not allow you to drive to the Mauna Kea visitors center. If your rental car breaks down on Saddle Road, they will not come and get you, meaning you pay for the towing unless you have or have purchased insurance. But if you've gone off road, you are not covered by the rental car insurance. So it's best to ask at the rental counter when you're picking up your car as to what their policy is.

Bonuses:
On Jeep Wranglers, there is no surcharge for your spouse or domestic partner as an additional driver. Keep in mind that if you are ages of 21 and 24 (less than 25), Avis, Budget and Dollar has a surcharge of $27/day to rent all their cars. Enterprise is $10 to $20/day extra, but Thrifty only charges $10/day additional (These rates may change at any time). So be sure to "do the math" to see who you can get the cheapest rate when renting a Wrangler (or any car) from this website. Request an estimate above, but if nothing is available, be sure to return to our Rates Page to see if your desired vehicle is available there.
