About 8GO8 Auto Rentals
Version 2026-11-01.5
We're a small, locally run rental company based on the North Shore of Oahu. We keep a small fleet in good shape so every guest gets personal attention: real answers about the coast, the roads and the conditions, not a script.
Why renters book with us
Airport pickup & drop-off (HNL)
Flying in or out of Honolulu? We can meet you at the airport, so there's no shuttle, no counter and no line. The North Shore is roughly an hour from the airport, depending on traffic.
- Choose Honolulu Airport when you book. In the booking form, open "Delivery, extras & payment options" and pick the airport as your pickup area, drop-off area, or both. It's $55 per direction ($110 for both).
- Send us your flight details. Reply to your confirmation email with your flight number and arrival time so we can plan around it.
- We message you the meeting spot before you land, so you know exactly where to go.
- Quick handover. Show your driver license and photo ID, we do a short walk-around of the car together, and you're on your way.
- Returning? If you chose airport drop-off, tell us your departure flight and we'll arrange where to meet for the return, so you aren't rushing.
Delayed flight or running late? Just let us know as soon as you can. Other pickup and drop-off spots can be arranged around your trip too.
Good to know (FAQ)
How does booking work?
Choose your car and dates, enter your details, and pay a deposit of 30% of your total (up to $100). Your dates for that car are reserved right away and you get a confirmation email. We review every booking within 24 hours, and if we can't provide the car for any reason, we refund your deposit in full. We'll contact you to confirm the exact pickup and return time and place.
When do I pay the rest?
The deposit (30% of your total, up to $100) is charged when you book. The remaining balance is charged to the same card before your pickup, or you can choose to pay it in cash at pickup. You'll get an email for each card charge, plus a receipt from Stripe, our payment processor. Prefer to pay with cash or Venmo and no card? Choose that option in the booking form and send a request. We'll contact you to arrange it, but those dates are not held until payment is arranged.
What can I cancel and when?
Cancel at least 72 hours before pickup for a full deposit refund. Later cancellations and no-shows forfeit the deposit.
Who can rent and what do I need to bring?
Renters must be at least 25 and have a valid, unexpired driver license. Bring your license and a photo ID, and the card you booked with if you paid by card. We check them at pickup.
Can you deliver the car to me?
Yes. We can deliver the car to you and pick it up again anywhere on Oahu for a flat fee by area, shown when you book. Picking up from or returning to us on the North Shore is free. Choose your pickup and drop-off areas in the booking form.
How does airport pickup and drop-off work?
Choose Honolulu Airport as your pickup area, your drop-off area, or both in the booking form. Each direction is +$55, so both ways is charged twice. Then tell us your flight details and we'll message you with exactly where to meet.
What about mileage and fuel?
Unlimited mileage on Oahu. Return the car with the same fuel level it had at pickup, or we'll charge the actual fuel cost plus a small refueling fee.
Who is responsible for damage?
The Rental Agreement explains it in full. In short, you are responsible for damage to the car during your rental, and where our insurance coverage applies your share is limited to a $1,000 deductible, except in cases like prohibited use or impaired driving. Please check whether your own auto insurance or credit card covers rental cars too.
Where can I not drive?
No beaches, sand, unpaved or off-road surfaces, and the car must stay on Oahu. No smoking or vaping ($250 cleaning fee).
What if I return late?
Please tell us as soon as you know. Without approval, the car is due back by 10:00 PM on your return date (or the time we agreed). After that, each extra day or part of a day is billed at the daily rate plus a $50 late fee per day, because a late return forces us to rearrange our schedule and other renters.
