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.

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!

We flew 28hours from Poland only to feel so welcomed by Tabitha from SIXT! She’s an angel, and she made sure we are good to go and explore the island! Couldn’t ask for more! SIXT if you ever let her go, you’ll loose your best employee! Thank you so much! PS The car is also great! Highly recommend booking Jeep, to make your island experience fun and safe!

Shout out to to THEE AIMEE ! What an amazing customer service representative. She was very informative, and got is un our car and out the door fast! She even chased after me in the rain when I walked the wrong way in the parking lot to car. As a lifelong Hertz rental user, I will definitely return to Sixt after this experience.
