Hui Car Share - Car Rentals

Where do I even begin to sing HUI’s praises? From the get go, HUI has maintained 5 stars in my book. I had been visiting my new grandson in Kapi’olani Medical Center. A couple days before his discharge (yay!) I considered renting a car to run errands and do some shopping. This is when I ran into Kimberly, the awesome car share coordinator who was manning an informational table. After hearing all the perks this service had to offer, I rented one of the vehicles for two hours. Well, ya know how things can get on O’ahu, and I kept calling support to add a few minutes, an hour, and ultimately ended up renting the vehicle at the 24 hour day rate. The support was incredible! In addition to all the perks I remember being told about, a major plus was not having to pay for parking at the hospital. I went in and out many times, and this saved me a bunch of money. *Side note: I fell in love with the car and will look into getting one for my teen drivers. :)

So tries Hui for my first time last night and must I say it’s MAYJAH (AMAZING)!!!! The convenience, simplicity, and freedom is just something you can’t deny this company. For starters all you need is 3 things; a valid license, a credit or debit card, and a smartphone! I’m positive almost everyone has these three things nowadays. You download the app, connect your card, then send a picture of you holding your ID and BAM it verified me the next day! May I say Hui is also very efficient? I also spoke with customer service and she was amazing! Her name is Julie. It’s a local company just trying to keep everything local from staff to the stations the cars are placed. I may be mumbling on but it was just too much of a fun experience to not talk about it! I definitely know how my family will be getting around when they visit me! Thank you Hui for being around great app, staff, and services you offer!!!! Mahalo!

This service is EXCELLENT! Very convenient. The customer service staff was SO helpful and talk me through using the app due to my inexperience with apps and things. Best of all I got connected straight to a human on the phone and didn’t have to go thru a robot to get real help. Hehe. The car was great and very smooth and easy to drive. Even the things that comes with the car make it so handy to get around like the gas card AND the multi-phone charger. I would say all in all the drive hui cars are better AND cheaper then renting a car the traditional way, catching the bus, or a cab or even renting a biki bike!!! Definitely going to start using this service regularly!!!! Thanks Hui!!!

Coming from the mainland, I was excited to use the Getaround app to make my way around the island until I get a car. When I got here however, I was enlightened that Getaround does not exist in Hawaii. So, I went on the search for another carshare app, little did I know that it would be so hard to find one. Hui is advertised as an app that is similar to Getaround, but here’s where it’s not. Getaround has cars on almost every other block when you’re on the mainland. This Hui service is limited only to the Honolulu/ Waikiki area of the island, and therefore is basically useless to the many local people who do not live in that area, or tourists that are staying anywhere else in the island. I was all signed up and ready to book a car when I realized you can only pick one up in that area of the Island. The purpose of me renting a vehicle was for me to get from the windward side to Honolulu. Would not recommend this app unless you are living/ vacationing downtown.

In a modern world where our leaders and influencers are working to increasingly make our cities more walkable, sustainable and cost effective, HUI has in my opinion accelerated that vision. It’s a Game Changer!!! I must admit I had some doubt it could be this simple to rent a car through a app, reserve it for only $9.95 per hour and pay no additional charges for gas and insurance; but YES it’s that simple. HUI will become the template for all sustainable cities. It’s very easy to use. The cars are clean and new, and with HUI always providing new pick up locations across the city, it’s very convenient. Do your life a favor and download the app today. Trust me you won’t regret it!
