“With Mietwagencheck everything worked perfectly and we got a cheap rental car. The systems on site probably did not work properly that day, so that the handing over of the key took a while....car prices at the provider directly were also a lot more expensive than at Mietwagencheck, so it was very worthwhile to book the car there...”

Things to consider before you return your rental car
Allow sufficient buffer time for the return of the rental car. Depending on the selected refueling regulation, you must refuel the rental car accordingly before returning it. In principle, we always recommend the fair refueling regulation (full / full). In this case, you return the rental car with the same fuel level as you picked it up. To do this, simply go to the nearest gas station at Honolulu Airport. After you have refueled the rental car, go to the car rental counter. Here, an employee will check the condition and fuel level. If everything matches, you will be refunded the blocked deposit amount.
The return of the rental car can also easily be done outside opening hours. Often, car rental agencies have a safe or mailbox provided for the vehicle key.
With the one-way rental, a return of the rental car is also quite simply possible at another place. So if you only need the rental car for a few days and want to enjoy the rest of your Hawaii stay without a rental car, you can return the rental car somewhere else.
Unfortunately, there is no longer a ferry between the islands of Hawaii, which is why you cannot take your rental car to other islands. If you would like to explore other islands of Hawaii by rental car, you will surely find the right offer on our portal.
Any booking can be cancelled free of charge up to 24 hours before the start of the rental period. So if your travel plans change at short notice, you are on the safe side and can still benefit from the price of an early booking. Please note the opening hours of our service team for this.
