Bryan, Mar 2020
Pros:
Staff onsite was super friendly at the 30 Halawai locationCons:
Little confusing when booking online. Started with a Westin location, they told me the only office that had a Jeep was the “airport” location, which turned out to be right across the street from my hotel. They did phone the location and let them know I was coming. And, my car was not there, they went and got it and I was on my way10.0 Wonderful

2.0 Poor
Anonymous, Apr 2021
Pros:
Nothing- I’ll never use National again, or Rentacars.comCons:
I made the reservation to pick up the car at OGG in Maui. The reservation kicked me over to pick up at the airport in West Maui, without my knowledge. When I discovered this three days before my trip, I tried to call and remedy the situation. No cars were available at OGG, which I understand, due to low inventory. The real clincher was when I told the National office in West Maui that I wouldn’t be able to pick up for an hour later than originally planned, due to now having to take an expensive Uber to get there after landing. They told me I was out of luck since the office closes at 5pm. I was basically screwed. I had to make a new reservation at Avis (last minute) for $800 more, which pretty much ruined my vacation.10.0 Wonderful

That we got a Chevy blazer instead of a Ford Focus and was able to return it to the airport.Cons:
No body answered the phone when we tried to get an Uber and couldn’t. Was told there was drop off service but couldn’t get a hold of anyone. We had to take a bus and walk to her the car and after arriving found the person on her cell phone with no customers.10.0 Wonderful
