Unless you don’t drive, we really can’t imagine coming to Kauai without getting a car. You could theoretically hang out at your hotel or condo, walk to the nearest beach, and eat at restaurants within walking distance, but you would miss the best of Kauai. The spectacular scenery, beautiful gardens, remote beaches—the most interesting features of the island—are only reachable with a car. Taxicabs are available, but things are so far apart that one or two cab fares a day would pay for a rental car. (Kauai has a bus service, but routes and times are limited.) All the major auto rental companies and some local outlets rent cars on Kauai.

 
We offer discounted rental rates through Avis Rent A Car. You can use our special rate code to make reservations at Avis locations on Kauai and throughout Hawaii. To check rates and availability or to make a reservation:

You will probably want to pick up and return the car to the main Kauai airport at Lihue, code LIH. When speaking with an Avis representative, please state the following:

• The Avis ARC Number is 0175685D

Standard Avis terms and conditions apply. When the Avis rep gives you the quote, compare that to the online quote you got above and pick the best one. That’s all there is to it!
