Lihue has limited public transportation, so renting a car on your vacation is a smart idea. Driving down the main highway, Route 56, you'll enjoy views of the mountains and ocean. Why not experience this scenic drive to the max in a convertible? A rental SUV or multi-seater vehicle is also a good choice if you have a lot of beach or surfing equipment. You can add bookable extras like child car seats or GPS Navigation to your rental car to help you easily and safely get from one beach to another.
The SIXT Lihue Airport location is just a three-minute drive from the airport. It is close to Hawaii Route 51 and Rice Street (the main road in Lihue). All our rental cars at Lihue Airport are kept and maintained at this same address. You'll pick up and return your car at this location, too!
Kalapaki is a popular beach in Lihue. You can spend time lounging on the sand, swimming, or doing a little surfing. Nearby is Wailua Falls where you can do some hiking. At sunset, you can hop in your rental car, and head to downtown Lihue where you can enjoy some live music and dancing. There are several bars and pubs along Rice Street and it is also a lively shopping and dining district.
