A large share of our monthly renters are 25th ID soldiers and families at Schofield and Wheeler. The airport chains average about $1,800 for a month with taxes and fees, charge more if you are 21-24, likely will not rent to you at all if you are 18-20, and mostly refuse debit cards. We built our business around the opposite of that.
Why Schofield & Wheeler families rent from Baba
- Priced for the POV wait. One flat monthly rate versus thirty airport daily rates.
- Junior enlisted welcome. We rent to drivers 18+ with age-tiered pricing, no daily under-25 surcharge, no "must be 21" rule.
- Debit card + USAA/GEICO/Navy Federal-insured car? Done. Bring your declarations page showing collision with a $1,000-or-less deductible and you skip our CDW.
- Extend when the ship is late. A quick call, text, or email, subject to availability in peak season.
- Also serves Wahiawa and Mililani off-post housing. Central Oahu residents page.
Getting here from Schofield / Wheeler
Take the H-2 south to the H-1 west, exit Fort Weaver Road toward Ewa Beach, and follow it to Iroquois Ave, 30-45 minutes, traffic depending. If you land at HNL first, we're 30-60 minutes west of the airport depending on traffic; many families take a rideshare from the airport straight to our yard on arrival day. The earlier in the day you schedule your pickup the better: rush hour traffic usually starts around 3pm and runs until 6pm or so.
How the PCS rental usually goes
- Book before you fly. Request a quote, provide the necessary insurance documents, place your deposit, and save your reservation number. We can accommodate same day pickups as long as we still have vehicles available, but we recommend booking in advance.
- Pick up in Ewa Beach. Our yard is at 5001 Iroquois Ave inside the American Veterans (AMVETS) building, our partners. Pickups and drop-offs by appointment, 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.
- Monthly or week-to-week, your call. POV shipping to Hawaii is unpredictable. The monthly rate is the deep discount (no refund on unused days); the weekly rate costs more per week but lets you pay week to week and stop when the POV lands. Extensions by phone, text, or email, subject to availability.
- Debit card fine, USAA/GEICO/etc. accepted. Personal auto insurance with collision and a deductible of $1,000 or less means no CDW fee. 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. No credit card required.
- Return when the POV clears. There's no penalty for returning early, but heads-up: monthly rates are heavily discounted, so an unused portion of a monthly rental isn't refunded. If you expect your POV in under a month, take the weekly rate and pay week to week instead (extensions subject to availability).
Rental car costs during a PCS are not reimbursable, but we do accept the GTC (Government Travel Charge Card) if you are approved to use it as a travel, non reimbursable cost. Our full Military PCS to Hawaii guide covers POV shipping, TLA hotels, pet quarantine, and school enrollment.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a car rental near Schofield Barracks?
There is no rental counter on post. Baba Car Rentals in Ewa Beach is 30-45 minutes away (traffic depending) and specializes in monthly rentals for Schofield Barracks and Wheeler Army Airfield soldiers waiting on a POV.
How much is a monthly car rental near Schofield Barracks?
Baba charges a flat monthly rate that changes with the season, tiered by age (18-20, 21-24, 25+), heavily discounted versus weekly, so unused days aren't refunded. Prefer flexibility? Rent weekly and pay week to week. Request a quote for your dates.
Can an E-3 who is 19 rent a car in Hawaii?
Yes, at Baba Car Rentals, we rent to drivers 18 and up. Most national chains require renters to be 21 (and charge extra until 25).
Do you accept USAA or GEICO insurance instead of buying coverage?
Yes. If your declarations page shows collision coverage with a deductible of $1,000 or less, no CDW fee applies. Otherwise CDW is $15.70/day.
Do you offer a military discount?
Yes. Active-duty and veterans get 10% off our daily rate. But if you're waiting on your POV, our flat weekly and monthly rates are the bigger military deal, and they save far more than 10%: the monthly typically works out to roughly two-thirds off what the daily rate would total for the same number of days. Those weekly and monthly rates are built for military families waiting weeks on their vehicle, so they can't be combined with the 10% daily discount. You take whichever saves more: for a few days, the 10% off daily; for a week or a month, the flat rate wins every time.
