Discount Hawaii Car Rental

[Negma]

I had a two week standard car reserved for June 30-July 14 for $466 though Discount Hawaii Rentals in Maui, just checked Hotwire, $366, booked through hotwire and cancelled other rental. Car through Alamo.

Peak Periods

For peak periods like Christmas where they gouge you, try using your American Airlines account for a cheap rate. When you book using your points, you can decide how many points you want to use.

I always use the minimum of 1000 points and the resulting "cash" balance I have to pay for the rental is much less than what I would pay otherwise. Last year I went to Maui and it would have been $1200 for the week, I paid $350 plus 1000 AA points.

It sometimes gives you a lower rate during regular periods as well, but you have to compare. It worked for Oahu two weeks ago to get a rate $100 lower than everyone else.

I had a reservation through Costco for a standard size car, July 1-8 @ $250 and Alamo. I checked Costco today and the same car through Enterprise is $188 including taxes. So keep checking as your dates get closer.

I was notified today by Autoslash.com that my rate in the Big Island has come down even further for my stay in mid July. I'm very surprised. Either they have a glut of new cars or a lack of tourists.

The latter, not the former.
