I've travelled the world and rented cars from many different providers but never have I had a car break down or come riddled with fleas.
After going through 4 different Nissan Sentra's in 4 days and suffering a flea infestation we finally gave in and hired a proper car from a well known provider.
The first car had starting problems. The second car refused to start when it was parked at the top of the Haleakala Crater, which is about a 2 hour drive from the office. We had to hitch a ride back to town. The third car was a filthy mess and had fleas. The fourth car was fine but we used it to drive to one of the popular car hire offices at the airport ands then returned it.
When I challenged the staff at Kihei rent a car about the shoddy cars and flea infestation the response I got was ""This is the tropics, we get sand fleas"". When I responded with ""We did'nt go to the beach and i picked a flea off my leg while sat in the drivers seat"" she simply walked away without a word.
I've never experienced such incompetence and such unreliable cars as with Kihei rent a car. Even the cheap independent car hire places in third world countries run a tighter ship than these guys.
Lesson learned, you get what you pay for. I'd forgetten about this valuable lesson but the reminder cost me countless hours of wasted time changing cars, $30 on flea spray and itchy sleepless nights.
Worst car hire company ever.
Pros: Absolutely None
Cons: Cars Break Down, Wont Start and have fleas
