It was suggested that we rent a car for this isle, Kauai.  We need to get to the Lahue airport for a helicopter tour in the morning.  So, I see a rental for about 130 dollars. From what I can tell the rental companies are at the same airport as our helicopter tour.  I did not see any shuttle from the cruise port.  So, I will have to pay a cab fee back and forth for two in addition to the car, correct?  So why assume the extra costs for a rental?   Our trip is in October.  Is there Uber at this port, and should we consider that resource?  Is there a rental company near the Wal-Mart?  Any insight is greatly appreciated. Yes, this is our first trip to Hawaii.

We are just back from our may 14th sailing and we rented a car from Enterprise which is right across the street from Walmart. We called the branch and they picked us up at the ABC store near the port which was about a 10-15 min walk. Lots of free parking right near the port if you want to keep the car for both days like we did. 

We were on the may 14th sailing, in Maui we parked about a ten minute walk from the pier in a dirt lot across from Akamai motors(a used car dealership) it was free.  In Kauai there was a lot of free parking on the street in front of the port near the park. Also across that street there is a small road with an apartment complex, there is a lot of street parking right there ( this is where we parked, street name is Wilcox Rd).

Curious where you parked your rental car for the overnights in Maui and Kauai?

Looking for any information from recent cruisers on this, we are on the May 14th Pride of America cruise and I can't find anything about overnight parking.
