It was a lot cheaper going through Kayak to rent a car. The difference was significant. I actually ordered the car while I was standing at the counter. They quoted me a price over $20 dollars a day more to rent and also told me they only had pickup’s and jeeps. When I went through Kayak, I paid over $20 less a day and ended up with a premium sedan. I highly recommend them.

We had a Turo car rental. When we got to the car it wouldn’t start so we cancelled that. My wife found a car rental available immediately with Alamo. The rental process was super easy and getting into our car and on our way was quick and painless. The staff was outstanding!

The car had a dead battery one day around 7pm at the National park in Maui and the emergency contact number provided in the receipt didn’t work. Called multiple times no body answered the phone. We had to call 911 to get contact with the park ranger and get a local towing company to start the car. It’s freezing out there in the park that night. The towing guy didn’t bring the correct tools and couldn’t jumpstart the car. Eventually a park ranger arrived and jumpstarted the car. We got back from the park until midnight. We got charged by the towing company for more than $700. So far we haven’t got an answer from Dollar to refund the cost. We bought Dollar’s insurance.

Not being familiar with Maui, I didn't realize there was more than one Hertz location in Kahului so it would have been helpful for that to be more apparent when booking. The agent at the airport Hertz was VERY RUDE when I showed up there. The agent at the hotel where the car was located, was WONDERFUL and I would book again based on his customer service.

The car’s dashboard system said an oil change was needed when I started the car, but the staff said that Hertz has a different idea of how frequently the oil needs to be changed than Nissan does, so we drove for 10 days in a car that needed an oil change. It felt a little unsettling, but nothing bad seemed to happen. As an after thought, I would have taken a pic of the dashboard in case something had happened and Hertz tried to pin it on our usage.

VERY SLOW pickup process. Each customer is at the counter 10-15 minutes, spending most of the time finding off agressive up-selling attempts - car upgrades, gas options, and mostly insurance add-ons. They hide the option of declining supplemental insurance altogether. Forcing you to choose between three levels. They pepper you with scare tactics. This all takes a lot of time. The car itself, not the model promised. Reserved a Toyota RAV5, got a large SUV. Poorer gas mileage and difficulty parking in resort's small parking spots. Car condition was pretty poor - lots of dings and scratches. Which need to be carefully documented, requiring more time. Car ran fine. Go with the major rental companies. You'll likely be about to pickup your reserved vehicle with little or no time spent at the counter.

Did not have SUV and gave us a mini van that we did not like. When we drove to our condo the tire pressure light came on. We then noted a tire with a slow leak that had been pumped up for rental. We called to return the car and the person in duty found and reserved an SUV for us, which was good but we had to pay for the gas to return to airport to return van! As a courtesy, the person also gave us a 90 minute extension to return the vehicle but only noted it in the file, we were charged a $35 overage and had to stand in line at counter to ask someone to read notes and adjust, which was done, but was another hassle. We were also told it would be best to buy a tank of gas at 3.29 per gallon, but we are not told it came with $30+ of airport taxes which was ridiculous. We had to call and get that changed too. We filled up the tank which was almost empty on the SUV for $40 at Costco vs the $85 you tried to charge us. TAXES on tsnk of gas should be disclosed. In addition we were renting car from 4pm to 5pm return assuming there was a one hour grace period that is standard. When flight arrived early so we picked up car at 3:30pm, agent charged us for two additional hours without disclosing it. Lots of sneaky things we didn’t notice on contract until we read the print out on way home. People at Kahului we’re all very nice and fixed all we needed. It’s not them that appear to be wrong, it’s the company. We will rent from you again but will not take a van, will not take gas, and will look for system sneaking extra hours on the contract.

Car was clean.

I reserved a "Ford Mustang Convertible or similar model not guaranteed." They had plenty of Mustangs but charged me $350 to "upgrade" to what I literally reserved, a Mustang. Check out was slow as they tried to sell options and there was no one there when I returned the car and although someone appeared, they walked off in another direction.

Staff should be told to treat the customer that is there in person and in front of them is a higher priority than random phone calls. Both at pickup and drop off we were interrupted by someone calling in. The clerk dropped us and spoke on the phone for almost 5 minutes while we stood in front of them halfway through the process. The wifi should be improved so that it actually works in the lot so the clerk’s handheld device works outside. There was no selection of vehicles. Although there were plenty of vehicles on the lot they hadn’t been cleaned and were unavailable. That should be a priority. The value for money was poor. A well used, beaten up, stained upholstery vehicle for a premium price is not value for money. Enterprise can do better………I know they can.

We were greeted by Jared when we walked in. Jared was very good with taking us through the steps to rent. Very professional and we appreciated his manner. I believe it was the manager who greeted us when we returned the vehicle and he was very good. He took care of our check in right away. He called us a cab and checked back to see it had arrived. We very impressed with the 40 Hana Highway Enterprise location. Everyone we came in contact was very good. A young lady also asked if we had been taken care of. Darryl

When we turned our car in at 2:00pm on Sunday, it was a painless process - but I am super glad I wasn't checking out a car - there had to have been 50+ people in line. All of the rental agencies were like that though. Super glad I didn't have to deal with that!
