Firstly on your website you could state that a 2nd driver is not only $250 but that it is $250 every 28 days and that when picking up the car the person should be told this. We were never told that the $250 was for only 28 days. Our contract was for $3476.90 from Dec 29/2023 to Feb 29/2024 which is 62 days. We have been charged $1852.03 twice (which looking back obviously included the additional driver fees)and there is an amount of $711.04 on my Visa which totals $4,415/10 which is basically $1,000. more than my original rental agreement. When we returned the car we were given a total of $438.03 still due so other than the fact that it is $400 + over the original agreement so why is $711.04 pending on my Visa? You are a company that is fraudulent towards the consumers and I would neither rent from you again nor would I recommend you. We travel a lot including 2 months every year in Hawaii.

Not aware of office hours before booking! They closed at 430, we landed at 530. couldn't get car until next day, I told office ahead of time that we wouldn't be there until next morning and when we arrived they said they canceled our car because no show. Very displeased, poor customer service. Had to zoom call and dealt with someone in CA. Workers in actual office were very nice and helpful, but not the "manager" in CA. Never again will I use them.

Excellent customer service-Really helpful and friendly. I arrived early but check in staff worked with me to get me a vehicle right then. I appreciated that very much! Th woman at the counter was great! Drop off was so easy and the employee I dealt with there was a 10/10! Shuttle to airport was ready and waiting and the shuttle driver was also a 10/10! This is the second time I’ve used Ace and I am now sure I will be a regular customer when I travel to Maui.

Mediocre|Mar 2023

This is a friendly branch of ACE in Maui that is a ways away from the airport, so it requires a shuttle. That was pleasant and nice, but the check-in process was laborious, because they connected us to a guy in a call center in San Diego over Zoom. This was absurd— he was painfully unprepared to handle a non-US license and international paperwork. Plus for some reason he wasn’t able to send me the one time password needed to activate everything. No joke this whole process took 45 minutes and wasted our first hour in Maui. And meanwhile the other staff onsite were all lounging around playing with their smart phones. It was absurd.

Overall it was fine. However, picking up the car was slow and painful. Most everyone had to wait 45-60mins + to receive their car after you paid and went thru customer service rep. The van we got was new but had some obvious minor damage all around. 10 minutes into the drive from Budget and the front right TPS (tire pressure sensor) was alarming that there was an issue. Luckily, the tire was fine and just a bad sensor but was a bit annoying getting that warning everytime you started the van. Overall, it was worth it. Just need some patience at the start.

They gave me an old car making funny noise over 40 mph. There was a super long line with exactly 2 agents behind the counter who happen to be less than friendly, trying to aggressively push for things I did not want nor need. Return procedure had no explanations and when I sought to ask, they were very rude and could not be bothered. Probably the worst rental car experience overall I ever had.

In Kona, all the rental car companies need to do a better job at cleaning the car windows. The car we had, the windows were so dirty that you could hardly see the back window. At some point, that becomes a safety issue especially on an island where the street lights are dimmed.

Beware. Hertz allows you to rent a car at 12pm but they are closed some days at that time. We got there just before noon and the workers literally walked right past us and refused to assist or even acknowledge our existence. Several other people were there as well. Only one worker stopped to tell us that they’re off at noon and can’t assist.

The vehicles are not very clean. The first truck I was given had a dead battery. The second one needed an oil change. The third one I had to clean when I got home to get rid of the smell of cigarettes and to get a clear windscreen. The counter staff were helpful but whoever checks the vehicles after “cleaning” needs some serious training.

I booked a convertible with thrifty and when I went to pick it up they informed me that they could not give me the car as they only accepted credit cards and they had a policy that required me to book the car until the time of my departure flight. I was not informed of these two things upon booking and was told I could use a debit card and there was no mention of the policy whereby the car had to be rented out until the date of departure from the island. The staff were unhelpful and provided no alternative solution.

The person at the counter was a bit too chatty, took him a white to be done with a customer before us, discussing things unrelated to the car rental. People arriving late, having spent 6 hours on the plane, want to get to their lodging as soon as possible. Other than that a fairly easy and smooth process, appreciated an upgrade.

Car was fine, all staff were friendly and helpful, drop off was easy, price was great. The only negative - and this is huge - was waiting in line for more than two hours at pick up at HNL (it was a Saturday). The line at Dollar was maybe ten times longer than at any other rental office. Once we finished the paperwork, actually getting the car was a breeze. When we dropped off the car (Tuesday) the line appeared maybe 2/3 as long. The lines are a reflection of the prices, but be warned...

Staff were nice. Car was the one advertised. The line to get my car at pickup was literally an hour and 20 minutes (not enough staff). The vehicle has a slow leak in one of the tires and the battery was low in the remote key. Lihue needs more staffing and probably a better check of their vehicles.
