When my wife and I were deciding to make a last-minute trip to Kauai during the pandemic summer of 2021, we were disappointed to learn that rental cars were going to be an absolute hassle to rent, not to mention PRICEY. So much so in fact that we were considering canceling the trip altogether. Luckily though that all changed when I found Wisecars.
I was shocked when I ended up getting quoted by Wisecars for an 8-day rental costing in the $ 500s for a week when I was previously quoted at $800-1100 previously by other companies! This all seemed too good to be true, but it wasn’t at all. To make it even better, I was going to get a very nice, newer, fuel-efficient sedan for my wife and me to travel the island with when other rentals, even local ones, were only offering real old beaters (not surprising for the islands but not for the prices they had them). Even more surprising that they had a convertible mustang for slightly cheaper, but I decided to save gas with the prices of fuel. All this said I booked it with a little hesitancy but figured I’d give it a shot since I hadn’t used them before.
Right before the trip, I got notified by my airline that my flight was going to change just enough to mess up my rental pickup time. A little worried I contacted Wisecars right away and the customer service was kind and went ahead and fixed my time with the rental yard without any hassle for me! Man, it was easy, way more convenient than having to deal with other rental companies directly like I’ve had to do in the past.
Long story short, the trip went without a hitch and the money we saved ended up allowing us a much more incredible time to spend in other areas such as meals and experiences. The rental yard had our reservation in place and the information was precise (something I admittedly was worried about). I ended up with the car I was told I had reserved and was glad because it made it up to the high elevation Kapaa state park like a champ without issue and saved us so much in gas, I’m not sure if the older cars would have done the same. I stand by Wisecars for keeping your worries at bay.
I’m incredibly grateful I found Wisecars, for their convenient prices and customer service, and am planning on using them every time from now on. Thank you for making my wife and I’s trip to the islands a wonderful stress-free time!
Mahalo!
