Itâs always a good time to be thinking about Hawaii car rentals. And if youâre still thinking about a 2015 summer vacation in Hawaii, Hawaiian Airlines just published many lower fares. Hawaii car rentals are typically the third largest expense for a Hawaii vacation after accommodations and airfare.Weâre into the peak 2015 summer season now and before long Christmas in Hawaii will be upon us. These are times when Hawaii car rental agencies can either be sold out or charge rates as high as $150/day!f more than one driver will be on the rental agreement, inquire when making the reservation. This can be a surprise of perhaps $10/day. We recently saw a couple with a 24 year old drive accessed a $25/day fee for being under 25, so it pays to check and be prepared.
