Let me be straight with you. We are not the lot with the cheapest stripped-down economy car on the row. What we are is the place where the number you see is the number you pay. Mauka Hualalai Rentals is my ohana, and we earn our living renting good cars, not springing fees on you at the counter.
That is where the real money hides, in the fine print. A chain hooks you with a low daily rate, then quietly stacks on add-ons at the counter until the total barely resembles the quote. We do not work that way. Our cars start at $69 a day, with the miles and the extra drivers already in the price, dropped wherever you are staying. The full side-by-side is right below.
The number we quote is the number you pay. It already covers 200 miles a day, and nothing is waiting for you at the counter or on a statement three weeks after you fly home. That is the whole promise.
The chains tack on around $13.50 a day for a second driver. We do not charge for additional drivers at all. Share the wheel on the long island drives at no extra cost.
Twenty-one and up pays the same rate, full stop. The big companies slap a daily surcharge on anyone under 25. We do not play that game.
Are we the lowest sticker price on a bare economy box? Not always, and I will not pretend otherwise. But once the chain piles on its fees, our all-in total usually comes in under theirs, on a nicer car, brought to your door.

We have been in business for over 6 years and love hearing stories from our happy renters. We would love to have the pleasure of adding you to the list!
Not always on the sticker price, and we will be honest about that. But our all-in total is usually lower than the chains once their fees land, because we do not charge a concession fee, facility fee, airport surcharge, second-driver fee, or young-driver fee. From $69 a day with 200 miles included.
No. Additional drivers are free with us. The national companies often charge around $13.50 a day for each extra driver, which adds up fast on a week-long trip.
No. We rent to drivers 21 and older at the same rate. Many chains add a daily surcharge for renters under 25. We do not.
The usual list: concession recovery fee, facility charge, airport surcharge, insurance upsells, second-driver fees, young-driver fees, and the occasional cleaning fee charged weeks later. We charge none of these. What we quote is what you pay. See why locals and visitors choose us over the chains.
Yes, 200 miles a day are included on every rental, plenty for exploring the Big Island. No nickel-and-diming by the mile.
Yes, and it is never hidden. Each delivery spot has a set fee based on how far it is from Kona, so closer hotels cost less and farther ones like Waikoloa run $80 each way. You see the exact delivery cost before you book, never a surprise on your bill. Weekly and longer rentals can qualify for free Kona-area delivery, check the deals page.
