Porsche Boxster convertible car rental in Kona, Big Island Hawaii

Convertible Rental in Kona, Delivered to You

If there is one island in Hawaii to rent a convertible on, it is this one. The Kona coast is dry and sunny most of the year, the shoreline road runs for miles, and the sunsets do the rest. Mauka Hualalai Rentals is my family, and we keep twelve convertibles for exactly this: Minis and roadsters at $69 a day up to a Porsche Boxster, every one delivered to you.

You pick the exact convertible, not "convertible or similar." Tell me where you are staying, and it is sitting there when you land, washed, topped off, and ready to drop the top. That is the whole process. A convertible car rental in Kona should feel like vacation from the first mile.

Built for This Coastline

The Kona side of the Big Island is one of the driest, sunniest coasts in Hawaii. Top down along Ali'i Drive at sunset, up the Kohala coast past the beaches, out to the coffee farms above town. This is the island convertibles were made for.

Twelve Convertibles, One Price Won't Shock You

Mini Cooper and Fiat 124 Spider convertibles start at $69 a day. A BMW 430i that seats four is $99. The Porsche Boxster tops the list at $139. The chains quote double that for a Mustang "or similar."

Waiting for You, Not You Waiting

Send your flight number and your convertible is parked at Kona airport when you land. Staying at a resort? It shows up there instead. No counter, no shuttle, no line after a long flight.

The Exact Car You Picked

You book the Red Mazda Miata, you get the Red Mazda Miata. Never "convertible or similar," never a surprise swap at a counter. Pick the color, pick the car, and it is yours for the trip.

Our Big Island Convertible Lineup

Start at $69 a day: Mini Cooper convertibles in five colors that seat four, the Fiat 124 Spider in red or black, and the Mazda MX-5 Miata. These are the fun-per-dollar champions. Light, quick, easy to park in town, and honestly the way most people should experience the coast road.

Step up to the BMW 430i convertible at $99 a day when you want four real seats, a power hardtop, and highway comfort for the longer drives to Waimea or the volcano. The BMW Z4 at $109 is the two-seat version of the same idea, more power, more polish.

At the top is the Porsche Boxster at $139 a day. Mid-engine, open air, and the Kohala coast at golden hour. If you have been waiting for the right road to finally drive one, this is the road.

WHY RENT A BASE-MODEL MUSTANG?

Every big chain at KOA rents the same convertible: a rental-spec Mustang, "or similar," and you find out which one when you reach the lot. For the same money or less, you could be in something actually fun. A Miata that was born for the coast road. An Italian turbo roadster. A BMW with the top folded and four real seats. A mid-engine Porsche at golden hour.

Life is too short for the rental-counter special.

Kona Convertible Rental Questions

How much does it cost to rent a convertible in Kona? +

Our Mini Cooper, Fiat 124 Spider, and Mazda MX-5 Miata convertibles start at $69 a day. The four-seat BMW 430i convertible is $99, the BMW Z4 is $109, and the Porsche Boxster is $139. Every rental includes 200 miles per day with no airport surcharges, concession fees, or facility charges.

Which convertibles seat four people? +

The BMW 430i and the Mini Cooper S convertibles seat four. The Mazda Miata, Fiat 124 Spider, BMW Z4, and Porsche Boxster are two-seat roadsters, perfect for couples, but plan on the 430i or a Mini if you have back-seat passengers.

Can you deliver a convertible to Kona airport (KOA)? +

Yes. Send your flight number and your convertible is waiting for you at KOA when you land, no counter, no shuttle bus, no line. We also deliver to hotels and resorts from Keauhou to Waikoloa.

Is it worth renting a convertible on the Big Island? +

On the Kona side, absolutely worth it, and practical too. Kailua-Kona averages well under 20 inches of rain a year, and most days are top-down weather from morning to sunset. Heading to Hilo or Volcanoes National Park? The top goes up in seconds, and every convertible we rent has a proper trunk for beach gear and day bags.

Do the big chains rent convertibles at Kona airport? +

The national counters at KOA typically list one convertible category, usually a Mustang "or similar," at $150 to $250 a day, and you find out which car you got when you reach the lot. We rent twelve specific convertibles from $69 a day, you choose the exact one, and it comes to you. See how we compare to the chains on our local alternative page.
