Lanai Car Rental

Great rental!! Definitely recommend the jeep if you are venturing past Lanai City on the dirt roads. It held up great and has plenty of room inside. Appreciate their kamaaina rates also.

We had a great experience renting a car from Lanai Car Rental! We rented a 4 door Jeep to explore for the day and we couldn't have asked for better service. The keys were ready for us the second we walked in, we were able to drive on all the dirt roads we wanted to with ease and take our time and drop off was easy, by filling up the gas tank literally next door and turning in the keys. I felt like their price for the rental was affordable and we appreciated the map they gave us with suggestions on where to go. Would highly recommend to anyone needing a rental for their trip to Lanai!

We had a Jeep for a day visit to Lāna‘i. Lāna‘i car rental was close to $100 cheaper than competitors. Very kind staff attentive and the Jeep was in great shape. They even stayed to assure the shuttle picked us up to catch the last ferry back to Maui. I would highly recommend them and would use them again when we return.

We rented a Jeep for a day trip to Lanai and our experience was excellent. The process of picking up the vehicle and returning was quick and easy, the staff was friendly, and it was a quality vehicle.

Krystal was very helpful providing us with places to visit and also maps for more accuracy with directions, we rented a jeep wrangler and it was super clean and flawless i would totally recommend this rental car company to anyone wanting to visit lanai. MAHALO Krystal we appreciate your help

What a fantastic opertation! Sarah was fantastic! Thank you for making our day extra special. Jeep was perfect!

Very helpful staff. Definitely get the jeep if you have any plans to explore the island.

Amazing and wonderful staff, always willing to help in any way they can to accommodate our needs. Thanks Lanai Car Rental!!

Previously, Dollar Car Rental used to be the main location to rent a Jeep (or other vehicle) from, but since they closed in October 2018, Lana'i Car Rental has stepped in to become the newer flagship location for rentals. Please note that Lana'i Car Rental is not located at the Lana'i Airport, so you will have to arrange for a taxi or rideshare to take you to and from the offices in the center of Lana'i City. Lanai Taxi and Rabaca's Limousine Service are two great options for ground transportation. Kama'aina (local resident) discounts are also available. You can book on Lana'i Car Rental's website or call them between 7:00 AM - 5:00 PM local time. It's a bit of a learning curve and a patient process. Sometimes the staff may not always be able to get back to you immediately, so I would recommend you call and follow-up periodically to ensure that your reservation is actually confirmed. Now, when you are able to speak to someone, they will take down basic information, contact information and payment information, and then send you a confirmation e-mail. But overall, the staff is awesome and very helpful! As for the drop-off process, there is now a drop box for rental keys outside their office door or you can also knock on the door to return it to the staff. I plan on coming back to Lanai Car Rental when I am visiting next time!

Ever since Dollar Rental Car shut down last year (Oct. 2018), I was kinda worried about my next visit to Lanai for work. I was wondering how I was gonna get around Lanai, especially if there were no longer any rental car businesses. Would I have to walk? Maybe catch a Taxi? Or perhaps there is someone who drives Uber, or Lyft? Well not to worry gang, "Lanai Car Rental" has opened up shop as the remote island is in dire need of a rental car business. How did I find Lanai Car Rental? Purely by luck my friends.........I had to go back to Lanai for work yesterday, and upon planning my trip (from Monday), I decided to "Google" transportation services on Lanai. Of course while searching, the name brand rental companies did not show up on my search, but upon searching further, I came across some info. about Napa Auto Parts, & a Convenience store. Yeah it's not related to anything about Rental Cars, but I figured if I called & talked to a local from Lanai, maybe they could give a Bruddah some insight on what to do for transportation on Lanai. Sure enough, my persistence paid off as I called and spoke to a lady at the convenience store, and she gave me a phone number for Lanai Car Rental. Whoo Hoo! Of course I call late in the afternoon (on Monday), and nobody picks up the phone, so I leave a message on their answering machine. The next day (Tuesday morning) I call the rental car company again, and this time a lady picks up. Upon talking to the lady, I set up my car rental for Wednesday. She takes down my basic information, & payment information, and I was set to get my rental car. A few great things I liked about Lanai Car Rental - 1. The lady that helped me was friendly on the phone, and setting up the car rental appointment was easy. 2. It appears they don't have a lot of cars (looked like they had no more than 10 to 15 cars?), but the cars were like brand new. I ended up getting a brand new electric car called the - Chevrolet Bolt, which only had 6000 miles on it. 3. The prices were pretty reasonable, as I paid only $78.12 (with tax) for the use of the rental car for the day. A few things I didn't care for (about the rental car process) - 1. There is no free shuttle pickup (to get you to/from) the Lanai Airport. The Lanai Car Rental agency is like a good 5 to 6 miles away, so you will have to pay for a taxi to get a ride to the rental car agency. (see my review about Rabaca's Limousine Service). 2. The car return process could have been better. When I took out the rental car, I told the lady working at Lanai Car Rental agency that I was gonna return my rental car at 3:00 PM (as I had to catch my flight home at 4:30 PM). When I came back at 3:00 PM, the rental car place was closed! YIKES! (Please Note: The business hours listed was 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM everyday). I knocked on the door & nobody was there. Then I call the Lanai Car Rental number, and nobody picks up. So frustrating! I had no way of properly returning my rental car keys (as I didn't want to incur any additional charges). This place didn't even have a car key drop box. After my taxi shuttle arrived to take me back to the airport, the taxi driver even tried to help me find away to return my car rental keys. Shortly after, a worker who does car detailing was nice enough to grab my rental car keys, and he told me that he would return the keys to the ladies at the Lanai Car Rental agency. Phew! Of course when I get to the airport, and was trying to check in at the gate through the TSA line, I get frantic calls, & emails from the lady that worked at the Lanai Car Rental agency (about the car keys, go figure). Of course I called her back & gave her all the info. about where the car keys were. I know this rental car business is fairly new, and I suspect they are still trying to work out a few kinks. Hopefully they will at least add a car key drop box to alleviate any car return issues should they decide to step out for a little while.

Dollar used to be the only game in town, but they bugged out. Lanai Car Rental stepped in to fill the void. (From what I see online, another person on the island is doing car rentals now, too.) The office is basically across the street from the old car rental location. IMPORTANT: They are NOT located at the airport. It is best to arrange for transportation in advance. There's a taxi now that runs minivans - $20 for one or six people in your party. Since we shared our ride with others, it was $10 for two of us. If you're staying at one of the resorts, they have shuttles. The taxi will take you from and to Manele Small Boat Harbor, if you take the ferry from Lahaina. Dollar used to only have Jeeps, because there is so much on Lanai that is off-road. They eventually added minivans. Lanai Car Rental added all-electric Chevy Bolts, and I can attest that they're pretty awesome to drive. There is a bit of a learning curve as you figure out how some things work. There is a small kamaaina (resident) discount. Staff there are very nice. Don't forget to make arrangements to get back to the airport or harbor after you drop off the car.

Can't say enough good things about this company. Our resort was having difficulty getting things right and their associate made us feel like we were part of her family. Great communication, super informative, and for any future trips we will absolutely book with them. Mahalo Lanai Car Rental!

Great crew working here. Easy to work with. No hassle rental. Nice clean car. Return after hours was easy with the key drop box. They are not near the airport or the harbor. We were offered a ride to our rental in Lanai City from the airport by a postal worker who was on our plane over from Maui and were able to walk to the car rental after connecting online and filling out a rental agreement.
