I reserved a Jeep Wrangler but apparently all of the Wranglers dollar had were in for service. I was offered very few options and then was talked into a Ford f-150. Very quickly I realize that I was in a very unsafe vehicle. Tires were low vehicle did not seem to have been maintained. Later that day the vehicle would not even go into drive. I contacted support they asked me to bring it in the next day. The vehicle locked up again so he tow truck had to come pick the vehicle up. After that I was charged 400 plus dollars for one day rental.

Check in took forever, mostly because they insisted on using a broken chip reader for the credit card that they already had on file. There were a crazy number of additional charges that weren't included in the initial reservation fee. I had called twice to confirm and was told final charges could only be confirmed at check-in. I didn't want to be auto-upgraded to a bigger car that I was less comfortable driving.

In Kona, all the rental car companies need to do a better job at cleaning the car windows. The car we had, the windows were so dirty that you could hardly see the back window. At some point, that becomes a safety issue especially on an island where the street lights are dimmed.

While I was very happy to be able to rent a 4x4 it was not well maintained, steering was loose, windshield wiper fluid empty and visor broken.

Window and mirrors very dirty and hard to see through. Side mirrors wouldn’t come clean, tried wiping them down. Can’t fit much luggage in trunk if roof down. Had to keep roof up until we could drop off our luggage. Engine and transmission seemed bagged, not much power and sounded like it had an exhaust issue. Automatic gear changing seemed to hang up and stay at high RPMs periodically. Fun to drive, glad to have a convertible, next time hopefully will get a mustang instead.

Don’t use Budget. It’s not worth the money you save. We landed in Kona Hawaii at 5:00 pm, in plenty of time to enjoy the evening. But we had to wait two hours at the rental office for our car, which killed the entire evening. The car was also an old dinged up clunker with USB ports that didn’t function and very dim headlights. The AC was also anemic. Terrible rental car experience. Next time I’m paying a few more bucks for a better rental car agency.

The van was clean and nice and easy to drive. Picking up and dropping off the van was an easy process. The Budget sales person was kind and helpful.

I didn't like that there weren't enough vehicles to rent in Hawaii.

The gas tank was not completely full when I picked up the car. I did not realize it until I had already left the rental agency. It was probably a couple of gallons short. The agency was so busy last night, there was no way I was going to raise the issue as we had a flight to catch. When I picked up the vehicle, the agents kindly drove it right up to us. The problem being there was no place to actually adjust the seats etc. before I left. Not a big deal, but I would rather have time to familiarize myself with the car before I was expected to drive away.

Okay|Dec 2021

The experience was fine once I finally got in the car. There was no clearly designated shuttle to National from the airport, and only half as many shuttles in place as needed: the airport was a mob scene of people attempting to secure a space on a shuttle. Once at the rental kiosk their were long lines (40 minutes). Helpful service person upon reaching the counter. Then…another 30 minute wait with a crowd of 50+ people waiting for cars to be cleaned and delivered for rental. A terrible two hour ordeal to start a vacation.

There was only one "standard" car available when we arrived, a Nissan Altima, which wouldn't have been our choice of vehicles, but it was OK... very low to the ground

The staff were all so nice! We found a guy's credit card on the floor board under the driver's seat and another wrapper in the Jeep. We didn't mind. But if someone else found his card, they might have tried to use it. We've shredded it.

Shuttle is totally inadequate. After waiting in the sun for 45 minutes for the National shuttle we gave up on renting a car and caught a taxi to our hotel. Don't need that level of aggravation on vacation.
