The ladies at the counters were very helpful and accommodating when I asked to drive as car not as "fancy" as a Jaguar SUV. The BMW was more like the cars that I am accustomed to driving and it was very comfortable and responsive. I did not know that Sixt specializes in luxury cars, and only went with them bc they had the best price for the type of car we needed to haul 3 inflatable paddle boards, 1 inflatable raft, and 5 pieces of luggage. Returning the car was easy and the gentleman that took care of us exuded aloha spirit; he was a joy to talk with.

My experience with Sixt in Honolulu was excellent. When I booked the reservation with Kayak through Hotwire though, I was initially quoted $430.90 for a full size car 6/22-6/6/26/23. Upon my immediate confirmation of this booking, Hotwire changed the price to $603.72!! This is an egregious bait and switch tactic and false advertisement, and I have the paperwork to prove it. My booking reference number is #9701373860. Upon arrival into Honolulu/Sixt counter, I advised the agent of what happened and to see if anything could be done to reinstate my initial quoted rate. The amazing agent "THE Cathie" advised that because it was booked through a 3rd party website that they unfortunately could not reinstate my rate. However, what she DID DO to make up for Hotwire's upcharge was to immediately upgrade me to a Mercedes Benz from a Nissan Altima (or comparable), which turned out to be a $500+ upgrade free of charge which I didn't even ask for. Now THAT is true customer service! It is because of Sixt's awesome customer service and willingness to make things right for someone else's wrongs that I will definitely be booking Sixt again.

Worst company ever. No service. Rented us a car that needed to be serviced. Then refused to provide contact info for the branch I rented from. Was a huge mess on our vacation. Got hung up on many times from the company when I asked for a manager. Going to report them to commissioners.

Never again. The experience was like being recruited into pyramid scheme.
Jamal provided superb customer service. There was a mechanical issue with the car originally given to us and without any hesitation he replaced the car and got us on our way. Thank you!

The place was completely packed and there were two service agents down from 4. Additionally, there were many people where English was their second language or not at all and had foreign driver's license. I know Hawaii has many tourists and for some reason for the 45 minutes I was waiting that same couple was still unable to get a car. Hettz should have put them to the side and help other customers why the foreign couple was trying to figure out their issue. Someone told me in Hawaii they have no sense of urgency and that's what it seem like. They just wanted to talk and be friendly with everybody instead of getting people through the line to rent a car

Knowing that the car was not available at the airport would have been a nice fact. It was a remote location with no shuttle service - went to the airport location to find out that wasn’t where our car was. Had to hire a cab to get to the car. ($25 expense) Return was better and $20 expense… facility was fine, car was good but lack of info prior to arrival was not.

When I picked up the car I was told the prepaid gas was $4.99 and was 20 cents less than on the island. I did it and later found that gas was $4.35 on the island. I didn’t appreciate being lied to and felt like Hertz screws people to make them pay more

Great experience. They gave us a Chevy Spark which is the perfect car to zip around Waikiki as parking spots are few and far between. It used very little fuel also which was a bonus.
My reservation was canceled when I got there to pick up the car

Long lines with few agents for check-in--over 1 hour wait. Then additional wait for car pick up on another floor. Car was just washed and still wet with mirrors clouded. At drop off I was charged an additional $158 after pre-paying in full for a flat rate rental.

We waited in line for an hour and thought that should be the end of waiting and we’d be handed a car. But when we went down to the car pickup area they said it would be an additional 45 minutes. We left as this was ridiculous wait time. We want a refund as we did not get a car in a reasonable amount of time. Will never use kayak for dollar rentals

Don't do business with priceline and dollar in honolulu ever again. They didn't have my reservation and it was a 2 hour wait to get to the line and then it would have been another 4 hour wait for a car. I went over to the next car rental place and got one instantly. Terrible terrible terrible.
Fast friendly service from check in thru final return of the daily rental. Just wish they had after hours return - cars have to be back by 5 PM.

They gave me a free upgrade to a nice convertible Camaro because they didn’t have any sedans available. This did add $120 because I was afraid of getting the car messed up, but honestly it was cheaper than my original plans of renting a convertible through Turo (which wanted $567). Avis did the same experience (with free upgrade) for around $200 less! I was so afraid of getting charged for the car dirty, I brought the car to a hand car wash. One thing that they could have done better was explain how dirty is dirty. That way I wouldn’t have gone above and beyond and spend extra money to avoid getting higher penalties from Avis.

I went with Avis due to all the long lines with the other companies. I showed up hopped in the Avis line & was next. While the budget line was long. One of the agents then told me there was only one line. Not happy at that point I stepped in line and waited 30 min just for the agent I finally saw say I had waited in the wrong line and that’s it. No sorry, just blamed the other guy. Never using Avis again. Not impressed with their idea of “luxury. Smashed plastic at speedometer. Cosmetically not up to par. Need to upgrade vehicles.
Compared to all of the other agencies, thrifty seems to understaff which results in long wait times. The last thing you want to do after flying five plus hours is stand in a line for 45 minutes to pick up your rental car. I feel bad for the staff because they’re so kind, but Thrifty needs to please consider adding more of them!

Thrifty Honolulu overbooks their cars, my husband waited amongst hundreds, yes hundreds of people for a car. He waited almost 3.5 hrs. Cars were being cleaned one by one and given to customers. We missed a scheduled engagement because of this huge delay. Employees didn’t acknowledge that the wait time was unacceptable.
