What condition are the vehicles in?Our priorities are for the vehicles to be clean, mechanically reliable, safe and have working AC. The vehicles are older (2007-2012), so they are not perfect. We would like you to know this upfront, so you have time to look for other options if you are not comfortable with driving an older vehicle.

Why do you have a Las Vegas area code?We are located on Oahu; however, we subscribe to a Google service that does not offer 808 area codes.

We do have a landline office number that you reach us at as well which is 808-744-1520.

What type of vehicles do you rent?We only have Nissan Versas. All our Nissan Versas are 4-door, compact sized vehicles. They are older models and on average a 2009 year model. All vehicles are automatic transmission. Our vehicles are all basic models with no backup camera, bluetooth, etc.

How do I know if I have a reservation?If you have a reservation, you will be issued a reservation number. If you do not have a reservation number, you have only made an inquiry for a quote.

What forms of payment do you accept?We highly recommend you use a credit card that provides additional car rental coverage on top of your auto insurance policy. We accept all major credit cards. Payments are secured by EMV, encryption, tokenization and are PCI DSS compliant. Please reach out to us for a secure link to place the deposit upon reading these FAQs. *Full payment is due upon pickup of the vehicle.

What time do I have to drop off my vehicle?Reservations are counted in 24-hour periods. You must drop off the vehicle at the same time as pickup to avoid an extra day's charge. For example, if you rent a vehicle for a week and picked up a vehicle on Monday at 11 A.M., the car is due back the following Monday no later than 11 A.M.
