rlkubi Posted August 23, 2012 #1 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Has anyone rented a car in Honolulu from the airport after getting off a cruise? We are staying a few days after the cruise and it is $90 cheaper to rent to and from the airport. But if going to cost a cab ride and hassle it won't be worth it. Thanks!

TSUmom Posted August 23, 2012 #2 Share Posted August 23, 2012 We have in the past - DH took a taxi to the airport and then came back and picked the rest of us up. One time he shared a cab with 2 others who were waiting for a taxi doing the same thing so they split the fare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlkubi Posted August 23, 2012 Author #3 Share Posted August 23, 2012 What I meant to ask is there a shuttle that will pick you up from the pier to the airport location? Sorry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfb Posted August 23, 2012 #4 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Thrifty certainly runs a shuttle from the dock to the airport rental car location on days when ships come in. We also had to call from the pier when we were ashore and waiting for the shuttle. We also reserved the car with the information that we would be arriving on a cruise ship and need a shuttle at the pier. I would imagine that if you contact them, that they will pick you up at the pier with the shuttle on the day you want to pick up the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleophus12 Posted August 24, 2012 #5 Share Posted August 24, 2012 We called the day before disembarking to confirm our rental, and the shutle was waiting to pick us up when we got off the ship. No problems at all. However, there did not seem to be too many shuttles available, so if you miss one, you might have to wait several minutes on the next one.

jordanaire Posted August 26, 2012 #6 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Yes...Thrifty will send a shuttle to the pier to pick you up and take you to the airport. We rented a Mustang convertible from them back in April and it was fantastic! We returned the car back before 10pm and they took us back to the ship for free. :cool:Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tip Posted August 27, 2012 #7 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Maybe I am asking for too much here, but we are renting a car from Thrifty at the airport when our flight arrives on Wednesday, September 5th and will return it to the airport mid-afternoon on Saturday, September 8th when we leave for our cruise on POA. Would Thrifty provide us with a ride from the airport to the pier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would Thrifty provide us with a ride from the airport to the pier?[ I don't see why not. We've used their free shuttle several times to return to the ship. I'd let them know in advance. All of our rentals have been port calls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julylady Posted November 20, 2012 #9 Share Posted November 20, 2012 I have a car rented from Thrifty after disembarking our Pride of America cruise in December. We will need a ride from the port to the Thrifty Car rental location. What number do we call? I originally booked the reservation using Discount Hawaii Car Rental but I have a Thrifty confirmation number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfb Posted November 20, 2012 #10 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Pasted below is the information that was in my confirmation email. I assume you should have gotten one as well? I assume the phone number would remain the same but perhaps you could go to the Thrifty website and check your confirmation number to confirm the phone number.

Julylady Posted November 20, 2012 #11 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Thanks, I will dig up my confirmation email. I had just transferred the number to my "planner." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Mck Posted November 20, 2012 #12 Share Posted November 20, 2012 The number they gave me to call for the shuttle is 808-831-2266. When prompted press "0". I called right before I got off the ship they just said the shuttles are running. When I got outside there were two Thrifty shuttles there. They will take you to their location which is right on the edge of the airport grounds. When you return the car they will shuttle you to the airport and to your terminal.
