Aloha! My name is Steve Parquet and I am the owner of www.HawaiiCarRentals.net. I am an authorized wholesale corporate discount vendor of car rentals for five major national and international brand car rental companies who operate in Hawaii. I started renting cars for these companies in 2003. Now it is late 2010 and I am pleased to say my web site rents out well over 1,000 cars per month for these companies on the islands of Oahu, Maui, Kauai and the Big Island of Hawaii. We no longer rent cars on Molokai. Operations ceased there due to economic conditions and thee companies I represent woo serviced Molokai island decided not to bid on that location. I expect they will in the future though. Especially as the economy picks up again.
Is Hawaii Car Rentals a Legitimate Website?
It must seem pretty weird coming across web sites like mine and wondering if it\'s legit or not. You may also wonder if you are going to have a problem when you get to Hawaii to pick up your car. Please be assured that when you book a car through my web site (by clicking one of the RESERVE NOW links on my reservations page), you\'re actually booking your car directly with one of the major national brand car rental companies I represent on their actual reservations web page. You are not reserving a car with me, but when you reserve a car \"through\" this website by clicking one of the car rental company we blinks, you are entitled to get the discounts and waivers offered on this website. See below for more details.
Why Your Rates Are Lower Than The Actual Car Rental Company Websites?
You may ask yourself, \"Why should I go through your website if all you\'re going to do is redirect me to the car rental company websites in the end anyway?\" What you should know is my website has a special \"Hawaii Only\" arrangement with the major national brand car rental companies. In exchange for my website promoting, their cars on the Hawaiian Islands, using my marketing expertise and of course my own money, they give me special rates and waivers that I pass on to my website customers. They rent out more cars that way. In exchange for my website getting cars rented for them, they pay me a commission for every car rented through this website. Please compare the difference in rates by going to any of the car rental company reservations page, check a rate, then go back, remove my corporate promo code, and check the rate again. Almost every single time, using my corporate code will give you a much better rate. I quite often see my rates 60% less when reserving using one of my we blinks.
How Do the Car Rental Companies Know That You Should Get the Discount Rate & Waivers Offered on www.HawaiiCarRentals.net?
Each car rental company provides me with a special link that when clicked on, takes you to each of their reservations pages. Clicking on my link takes you to the same place. There are special numbers embedded within the inks that the car rental companies provide to me. These special numbers tell the car rental companies that, depending on the company, you are entitled to the prenegotiated special Hawaii car rental rates and its related waivers; like no charge for additional driver, spouse drives free, domestic partner drives free, age 21-24 surcharge discount or waiver, grace periods, etc. It also tells them that the reservation came from my web site. That way, you get the discounts and waivers, I get the credit for the car you rent in the form of a commission, they rent out more cars. Everyone wins!
Can You Change or Cancel Your Reservation if You Make it Through This Website?
Yes, Absolutely. In addition, there is no charge or cancellation fee either. Once you make a reservation on one of the car rental company websites, you should print out your reservation because it contains your reservation details as well as your reservation confirmation number. One of the major national brand car rental companies I represent will also email you your reservation information. In other words, your reservation confirmation comes directly from the car rental company, not from me. It is their confirmation number, not one of mine. Later, if your Hawaii travel plans change, you can go back and modify or cancel your reservation through the car company website that you originally reserved from. If you want to change or cancel your reservation, all you usually need is the same information you gave when you made your original reservation: Name, email, phone number, and sometimes your reservation confirmation number. If you do not know your reservation confirmation number, the quickest way to get it is to simple fill in my contact form and asks me for it. I can track it down via one of the car company reps. you could also try calling the car rental company directly.
Here is Some More Information:
The rates on my web site are usually fixed all year long and do not change from day to day. If you go directly to the car company websites (without using one of discount my links to them), you may notice the rates may change every day and even or usually be much higher than what is listed on my website.
These rate fluctuations are governed by the time of year, demand and availability of car inventory. The rates I list on my web site are not always lower than their posted daily rates every single time, but my rates seem to almost always be better rates, oftentimes much much cheaper rates. Almost every single time I\'ve checked, the rates listed on my website are lower than the rates listed on the actual car rental company websites. That is one reason why when you go to their web site you get one rate, and when clicking from my web site to get to their website you get another rate.
The car rental companies go by fluctuating rate strategy. That is why on one day you get one rate and if you go back the next day, or the next week, or a month later and check the rates on the same exact car, the rate may have changed. On my website, the posted rates stay the same all year, unless the car companies I represent decide to make some small rate modification a few dollars one way or another to compete with the others. However, when they do that, it is usually in your favor.
