Best Cities to Visit on Kauai
- Hanalei: This city sits on the north shore of the island, and it is home to the famous Hanalei Bay Beach. The town itself sits right up against the beautiful Namolokama Mountains — you’ll get breathtaking views no matter which direction you look.
- Lihue: This is one of the largest cities on the island, and because of that, it offers plenty of shopping and dining options. In addition, the area offers plenty of beaches where the water is quite calm, so it's suitable for swimmers of all ages.
- Poipu: This is a town that sits on the south shore of the island. One of the benefits of being on this part of the island is that the sun shines almost all the time, plus it contains one of the newest shopping centers on the island. Don’t forget to check out the National Tropical Botanical Garden.
Winter on Kauai
While others are freezing in the winter, the climate in Kauai in the winter is perfect for getting outdoors or getting in the water. A great wintertime activity is to go on a whale watching tour. When you are on the south side of the island, try out snorkeling in the calm waters. Stop at the Kauai Coffee Company to enjoy an amazing cup of coffee and learn about all the island's coffee history.

Yes. SIXT places a temporary hold on your credit card at pickup for the amount of the deposit. For payments with debit cards, please refer to our rental information for more details about deposits. The amount depends on the location and vehicle. Please check for more details on payment information in this article.
In the U.S., generally a minimum of $200 will be charged to the payment method for security purposes. The deposit for high-value vehicles may be higher. Non-airport locations in Texas, Colorado, Louisiana, Minnesota, and Illinois have higher minimum authorization amounts. Additional details on the deposit can be found in this article.
Reservations are by vehicle category (“or similar”), not by an exact model. When a "guaranteed model" option is shown for your dates and location, selecting it reserves that specific model. Otherwise, you’ll receive a comparable car in the same group with similar size and performance subject to availability.
The exact mileage policy for your booking is shown during the reservation process, so you’ll know what’s included before pickup.
Vehicles rented at most SIXT locations in the contiguous United States may be driven throughout the contiguous states. Travel into Canada must be in accordance with our geographical restrictions, which can be found in our rental information. Travel to Mexico is not allowed. If you drive outside authorized areas, a fee of $0.50 per mile will apply.
All renters and authorized drivers must present a valid, unexpired, original driver’s license at the time of rental. Renters with a non-U.S. driver's license may also need to provide a valid passport or other government-issued ID.
