Are you planning to go for a vacation to Kauai anytime soon? Then you should definitely decide on how you wish to get around during your trip. Taking taxis for sightseeing trips in Kauai is one of the worst ideas. Not only is the service notoriously expensive, but you may find yourself standing in long queues to get a cab. You may consider renting a bike to get around, but honestly, how much can you ride in a day? Besides, the frequent rainfalls on the island make biking around a very poor choice for travelers.
So, what is the solution? Do you have to take buses and travel only on fixed routes then? Well, not quite. In fact, there is good news for you. Did you know that if you rent a car for your vacation in Kauai, you will actually save a good deal of money? A survey conducted recently has revealed that the cost of renting a car in Kauai is around $11 less (on a daily basis) than any other state in the US! This is bound to result in excellent savings, especially if you plan to stay on the island for 3-4 days.
However, finding reputable Kauai car rentals is certainly in order, before you can think about actually renting the cars. And here are a couple tips to help you with that:
Choose the car depending on the size of your entourage. If you are simply visiting Kauai with your spouse, then renting a convertible may be your perfect choice. When the weather is dry, you can simply put the top down and enjoy the breeze blowing through your hair. And if it does start raining, the press of a button will raise the hood, protecting you from getting soaked. Of course, all this becomes moot if you have a large family with you. In that case, minivans may be good choices, as will be economy cars.
Always rent the car early for your trip, preferably with at least a couple months in hand. This will allow you to get better deals, and guarantee the availability of the car when you arrive in Kauai. Otherwise, you cannot be sure of getting the car, especially if you are visiting Kauai during the busy months.
Finally, keep track of the fine print in the deals you make with Kauai car rentals. Find out exactly what you are paying for, and ask for an itemized bill. This will allow you to avoid going for overly expensive deals that you don't need anyway.
