This February is our 15th trip to HNL and we have always paid less than $ 20 per day for rental cars. This year the prices seem outrageously high at about $ 45 per day.
What happened to competition?
Has anyone found a better deal?

Have you tried discounthawaiicarrental.com they have the best prices i have found for rental cars in hawaii

Success!
Discount Hawaii car rental was the best , until 48 hours before I needed the car - when Hotwire suddenly offered a full sized car for $ 10.41 per day. By far the best rate I have seen.
It seems the rental companies want to play chicken with the customers until shortly before the booking dates.
