This was the most fun trip we’ve ever taken!! The Jeep was clean, and ran perfectly, absolutely no issues. The tent worked flawlessly as well. We slept in wind and rain and were kept dry and comfortable. The Jeep has everything you could need: blankets, sheets, pillows, air mattress, a cooler, a grill, plates and utensils, and some other random items that other renters have left behind like a headlamp and phone charging ports.
Sebastian was great, we even had to change plans last minute(push our trip forward a day) and he was flexible so that we could maximize our time with the rental. He also was willing to meet us at the airport.
In my opinion, if you don’t have kids, this is the best way to vacation in Hawaii. I think that any negative reviews about this come from people that would most likely not enjoy tent camping whether it was Sebastian’s rental or not. Camping is camping, you’ll have to search for public restrooms and showers, eat out of a cooler, deal with the weather, set up and put away the tent daily, and possibly pay for a place to park/sleep depending where you choose to stay. We camped for free on the beach every night just northwest of Kihei other than the night we paid to camp before hiking to the top of Haleakalā. The Jeep allowed us to drive to whatever part of the island we wanted to see, and the free beach spot was pretty well centered on the west side of the island allowing us to go north or south and run into a great place either way!
Overall, we LOVED this vacation! We will definitely be returning and renting the Jeep to take the road to Hāna. Just be sure that camping is something that you enjoy before booking this trip! We camp often at home and love the simplicity of it. If you’re looking for luxury, this isn’t for you.
