What types of cars can I rent in Puako?
Busy city streets and cramped parking spots are no issue for an economy car — the most sought-after home type in Puako. Slide behind the wheel of one of these and drive around traffic like a dream. Reliable, affordable and with excellent mileage, these small rides pack a punch. But Puako can be explored in almost any type of home you like. Compacts, SUVs and full-size vehicles are other options to consider.

  • Boasting sights and activities galore, Wailea is around 105 kilometres from Puako. First stop of the day? Follow the signs to Wailea Beach, one of this city’s highlights.

Getting the best deal on your Puako rental car is a cinch with Expedia. Choose your preferred car type, add some details and compare prices from top brands. Why not add hotels and flights to your booking? You’ll unlock even more savings when you combine your bookings into a package.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Puako?
If you’re aged 21 and over, you can rent a vehicle in Puako. Be mindful that most home companies will charge an extra fee if you’re a young driver, which is meant to cover the higher damage or accident risk involved. Also, young drivers usually aren’t permitted to rent luxury or specialty vehicles. Read through the terms and conditions before booking so there are no surprises at the home counter.
What do you need to rent a car in Puako?
A valid driver’s license and a credit card in the same name are two essentials. Don’t want to take out the company’s insurance plan? In that case, you may also require proof of other coverage. Requirements can differ between suppliers, so be sure to read through your policy.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Puako?
You can. We partner with trusted suppliers that offer weekly and monthly holiday homes for all categories of cars. Check out our long-term car rental deals and explore every corner of Puako — or far beyond!
Where can I find a Puako car rental if I am younger than 25?
You’ll need to investigate the age policy of the Puako holiday home suppliers you’re interested in. If you’re under 25 be aware that some will charge extra fees. It’s best to know about this before arriving at the desk so you can tailor your budget accordingly. Each holiday home car company has its own terms and conditions for young drivers, so it’d be wise to do your research.
Can I drive in Puako with my current driver's license?
If you don’t possess a driver’s license from the United States, you may be required to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is required, be aware that you’ll also have to show your current driver’s license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the vehicle must also match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to confirm your home. Other things you should know about rental cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in most states to be able to rent a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local regulations, and with the car rental company before you travel to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you typically can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or traverse off-road areas with a rental car. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before booking!
