Driving Tips for Lihue

Remember the following tips to help your trip go smoothly:

  • Scenic Routes: There are plenty of scenic routes to drive in Lihue and around Kauai, including Waimea Canyon Drive. Just be sure to pay attention to the road and pull over for any photo ops.
  • Road Conditions: Most of the roads are paved, but some in rural areas can be narrow and winding with potholes or other hazards.
  • One-lane Bridges: The island is home to several of these, and local custom is to proceed across the bridge 5 to 7 cars at a time, so be sure to respect this rule.
  • Heavy Rains: In Lihue and across the whole island, the weather can be temperamental and quickly change from sunny to torrential downpour. Drive carefully and pull over if needed.

During my October 2024 stay, Tabitha went above and beyond to make things right when one of the tires on the rental had a leak. The car swap was smooth and swift, all the staff friendly and helpful -- Tabitha at the counter quickly accommodated a car swap need -- great customer service!

We traveled to Kauai for three days and two nights from November 17th to 19th. Upon arriving at the airport, the shuttle from SIXT came promptly and smoothly took us to the rental counter. Tabitha, who assisted us at the counter, kindly shared recommendations for sightseeing spots and delicious restaurants, making our first trip to Kauai even more special. It was the perfect start to our journey. The pricing was reasonable, allowing us to enjoy three days while staying within our budget. Thank you so much!

I recently had the pleasure of renting a car from Sixt, and I must say, my experience exceeded expectations! The vehicles were impressively clean, which is always a major plus for any rental service. It’s clear that Sixt takes pride in maintaining their fleet. In addition to the quality of the cars, I found their prices to be very reasonable. This made my trip more enjoyable without breaking the bank. What truly stood out was the exceptional customer service I received, particularly from a staff member named Kawaii. She was incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to ensure that my rental process was smooth and hassle-free. Her friendly demeanor and willingness to assist made a significant difference in my overall experience. I highly recommend Sixt for anyone in need of a reliable car rental service. Clean vehicles, fair prices, and outstanding staff like Kawaii make it a top choice!
