FAQs – Page 3 – Aloha Rents Cars in Hawaii

Q: Is there a small extra charge for young drivers renting a car?

Yes, big brands can add a surcharge of $20-$30 per day. We pressed for and received a discounted $8 per day fee for our customers.

Q: How old does one need to be to rent a car or SUV on Maui, Hawaii, Honolulu, Oahu, Kauai or Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii?

You can rent a car if you are between the ages of 20 to 24 years old (under 25).

Q: Current requirements for infant and child safety seats in Hawaii?

Hawaii state law requires that all children under the age four be restrained in a federally approved child safety seat. The current law requires that children ages four through seven ride in a booster seat or car seat any time they are in a vehicle. The only exceptions are for children taller than 4'9" or those riding in vehicles with lap-only seatbelts in rear seats. Hawaii's law advises that children who have outgrown harnessed car seats (those who weigh between 40 and 65 pounds) should use a booster seat until they fit an adult seatbelt properly. This typically occurs when a child is at least 4'9" tall and weighs at least 80 pounds.

Q: What if my travel dates begin in the "Regular" rate timeframe and end in the "Summer" rate period?

The rate is fully dictated by the pick-up date. An Example pick-up date of June 11th is still in low season. Thus, you will pay the lower rate for your entire trip.

Q: Am I required to purchase auto insurance when I rent my vehicle?

Quick answer. No. Before you leave home, check with your auto insurance agent to determine if you carry adequate rental car insurance. If you do, any further insurance purchases will be your choice. For specific insurance requirements, refer to your rental company’s website.
