Central Oahu doesn't have a budget rental counter. We're the local one, about 25-30 minutes from Mililani and 30-45 from Wahiawa down the H-2 to Ewa Beach, traffic depending, with the weekly and monthly rates the chains won't offer, built for residents and military rather than the resort crowd.
Why Central Oahu renters choose Baba
- 25-45 minutes via the H-2 and H-1, traffic depending, Mililani is about 15 miles, Wahiawa about 20. No airport shuttle, no airport fees.
- Military neighbors. A large share of our monthly customers are Schofield Barracks and Wheeler families waiting on a POV, on TDY, or with a spouse's car in the shop. We're also the closest budget rental option to NCTAMS PAC, the Naval Computer and Telecommunications Area Master Station Pacific, the Navy base in Whitmore Village just north of Wahiawa, and to the Army families in Helemano Military Reservation (HMR) housing. See our Schofield & Wheeler page.
- Mililani families use us for the "second car for a month" situation: visiting parents, a teen driver's first summer job, a car tied up in an insurance claim.
- 18+ welcome, debit cards welcome, personal insurance honored.
What you get
- A 2007-2012 Nissan Versa sedan or hatchback. 90+ in the fleet, every one inspected, detailed, and running ice-cold A/C. We run one model on purpose: after years of maintaining nothing but Versas, we know this car inside and out. No rental, new or old, can be guaranteed issue free, but our maintenance routine keeps these cars pretty reliable, and if something does come up, we know exactly how to handle it. See the fleet and our honest "these are older cars" notes.
- Monthly and weekly rates that change with the season (request a quote for your dates), with age-tiered pricing for 18-20, 21-24, and 25+ instead of a daily young-driver surcharge.
- 50 miles per day, up to 1,500 miles in a month. More than enough for the island. The limit is there because our cars can't be used for rideshare or delivery services (DoorDash, Uber Eats, etc.).
- Easy extensions by phone, text, or email if your plans change, subject to availability during peak seasons.
How renting from Baba works
- Request a quote online (or call). Tell us your dates and your age bracket: 18-20, 21-24, or 25+.
- Provide your insurance documents. Personal auto insurance with collision and a deductible of $1,000 or less is accepted with no extra fee; otherwise our CDW is $15.70/day. If your credit card includes rental car coverage (see our non exhaustive list), you only need to submit a valid insurance card with your name on it. Digital copies accepted.
- Place your deposit with a debit or credit card in the renter's name and save your reservation number. A credit card is not required. No cash.
- Pick up at our Ewa Beach yard (5001 Iroquois Ave, inside the American Veterans (AMVETS) building, our partners) at your appointment time. Pickups and drop-offs run 9am to 7pm daily, with the last pickup at 6:30pm. The earlier the pickup the better: rush hour traffic usually runs from about 3pm to 6pm.
- Same day pickups? We can accommodate them as long as we still have vehicles available, but we recommend booking in advance.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a car rental in Mililani or Wahiawa?
Not a dedicated counter, but Baba Car Rentals in Ewa Beach is about 25-45 minutes away (traffic depending) and specializes in weekly and monthly rentals for Central Oahu residents and Schofield Barracks / Wheeler families. We also serve sailors stationed at NCTAMS PAC (Naval Computer and Telecommunications Area Master Station Pacific) in Whitmore Village and Army families in Helemano Military Reservation (HMR) housing.
How do I get to Baba from Mililani?
H-2 south to the H-1 west, exit at Fort Weaver Road toward Ewa Beach. Our yard is at 5001 Iroquois Ave inside the American Veterans (AMVETS) building, about 25-30 minutes from Mililani, traffic depending.
Do you offer a military discount?
Yes. Active-duty and veterans get 10% off our daily rate, and our flat weekly and monthly rates save far more than 10% (the monthly is roughly two-thirds off what the daily rate would total for the same days). The two can't be combined, so you take whichever saves more. See our Military PCS page for the full guide to renting while your POV ships.
Can I rent for one week?
Yes. Weekly rentals are welcome. Get a quote for your exact dates.
