Need a Honolulu airport car rental? Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL) is the main gateway to Honolulu and to the Hawaiian island of Oahu. One of the 30 busiest airports in the United States, the airport is located three miles northwest of downtown Honolulu.
Daniel K. Inouye International Airport is divided into three terminals. A and B gates are located in Terminal 1, while C, D, E, F and G gates are in Terminal 2. In addition, the smaller Terminal 3 is used for inter-island flights within Hawaii. Passengers can walk or use shuttle buses to get from one terminal to another.
Rental Cars at HNL Airport
On-site rental cars at Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL) are located inside the Terminal 2 parking garage on the ground level. From baggage claim, walk or take a shuttle to the Terminal 2 parking garage just across from the airport’s main ticketing lobby beyond the pickup and dropoff area.
Note that while Enterprise is technically located on-airport, the office is actually located on Aolele St. away from the main terminals, and requires a short shuttle ride to get there. From baggage claim, follow the signs to the shuttle pick up area just outside on the center median with the blue and white striped curb. The Enterprise shuttles run every 7-10 minutes.
