Hawaii's only true 4WD-Low rental fleet
Hawaii Lifted Jeep Rentals — Kailua Kona, Big Island & Lihu’e, Kaua’i.
The best car rental in Hawaii goes beyond the pavement. Family-run from Kona and Lihu’e, every Wrangler, Rubicon, Wagoneer, Gladiator, and Bronco in our fleet is high-elevation overlanding approved — including Mauna Kea Summit and unpaved state or county roads & parks.
Kona guests have the option to book a private airport shuttle and the driver will meet them at baggage claim to assist with luggage. Using this method is the fastest way to pick up a rental vehicle from the Kailua-Kona Airport (KOA).

Rated 5.0 by 656 Google reviewers, trusted by travelers who choose our self-service Jeep rentals for a fast, easy start in Kailua Kona and Kaua’i.
"The Wagoneer arrived spotless at our condo at 11pm. Three kids, three car seats, and a real human who walked me through the trail rules. Worth every dollar."
"We took the Rubicon up to the Mauna Kea Summit visitor center and felt completely confident. Concierge pickup at KOA was the easiest start to a vacation we've had."
"Booking by text, returned by text. They actually answered the phone on a Sunday morning when we got a flat. Renting from anyone else next time would be silly."
