    We rented a van to attend a wedding in town. Everything was smooth and the van was perfect and great for our family!

    -Dorothy Tonga

  • ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    I’m grateful there is a car rental service out here on the North shore of Oahu. This service has helped me enjoy life more through making memories with friends. I dated my now wife by using them, used their services for my family countless times, and enjoy the ease of access getting a car. The cars all have their own “personality” but I like knowing they are always clean and safe to drive.

    Easy to use. Great communication. Always available to answer questions, address concerns. The cars are a little older than what you would get at a big rental company, but the ones I've used run great and have gotten me all over the island without any problems at all. Can't beat the price the flat-rate price that already includes taxes, fees and insurance so the price you see is the price you pay -- unlike the big guys who give you one price then add a fee for this and a fee for that, plus taxes, and an arm and a leg for insurance. Mahalo Car Share is a great service to our small community here on the North Shore.
