Car rental for Kona 4/10-17 dilemma
-
Hi gang,
Hoping someone can share some “recent” codes that might work for some steeper discounts. Looking at a Jeep (which I know will be a premium) but coming up at $600± through Autoslash.
I love Autoslash and usually they are able to find much better deals (been a few weeks so far and no “movement” in price). I’m sure demand has a lot to do with it.
Didn’t know if anyone had any other codes that worked recently for them to try that maybe Autoslash wouldn’t either try on it’s own or have access to?
TIA!

Find a local to rent the car for you.
Mahalo.

Thanks… unfortunately, I’m fresh out of local Hawaiian friends. LOL.

Your AirBnB host is your friend.

Cool! Didn’t think of that… I’ll reach out and see if they can assist.
Thx!

Just wanted to update - they said they didn’t have any recommendations. Doubt Autoslash will find anything cheaper at this point but was worth a shot.
Appreciate the suggestion anyway!

@sonofzeus yeeesh! Glad I got what I could.

Tesla can be rented for $100+ per day in Vegas. 9-)

@sonofzeus love to try one out. But can the Tesla keep me dry on the ride over to Hawaii? LOL. I seriously do want to try to drive one, though.

@jokerzwild What car did you rent and how much are you paying per day all in?

@sonofzeus So, looks like we lucked out. I hadn’t canceled one of the early reservations that I thought I had canceled… That is a week at just over $300 for a mid-size SUV. I have a backup reservation at just over $600 for the week for a Jeep. As much as I’d like the Jeep, Hawaii is expensive and I think I’d rather spend less for a car, especially since one of our travelmates backed out. Since the prices have skyrocketed, there’s no way I’ll get that $300 rate again, so thinking that’s the best option. Unfortunately, the time it’s due back is 1pm (it was for our old flight) and now we’re leaving at 11pm (same day). So, I’ll see what their hourly rate is for going over the time and returning 8-9 hours later.
It’s through Hertz and I am President’s Circle status with them although in reading some of the forum posts, they assign a car and don’t have a “take what you want” option at this location.
