Car hire in
Oahu

READ EVERYTHING not the fault of SIXT - Sixt experience was excellent, especially the customer service! However not SIXT fault will say as a Tesla owner, I rented the Tesla Model Y with the though that I would have access to the Tesla network of WORKING Tesla super charges. LESSON here is the network is FAR from the mainland options! There were only 3 super stations on the whole island and one of them had been taken over by Valet only that makes you pay $6 per 20 min time as the Valet can only charge your TESLA car. Honolulu, HI - Kahala Avenue (Valet & Pay to Park, Floor 2) is the location I'm talking about. How can a resort take over a TESLA charging station? Next is the charging station Aiea, Expect VERY long waits for charging. Overall waited time with charge was 1.5 hours. Overall 97kw max!!! - The Ala Moana location was not a supercharging station and was also always full with a wait, and charged at 27kW. This seemed to be the normal on the island, very very poor power. Kaneohe's Super charging station seemed to be the best of the network, as it was able to get to 157kW and never had a wait. So if your staying in Honolulu, your going to wastes allot of time getting your car charged. I figured I charged 4 times over the 5 days I was in Honolulu, and spent over 4 hours in charging stations. If I was in my home town using the exact same Super Charging stations would have spent less then an hour and no way would the 3erd party charging station be that expensive. This was not worth renting for this reason alone. Hawaii is way behind when it comes to charging stations. I thought I would save some time before going to North Beach by using the provided converter at the Walmart "Electrify Home Station" offering 250kW" but maxed out at 180kW for, get this DBL the price! $$33 with taxes for a 55% charge!!!
