May 29, 2008

HONOLULU - Hawaii Superferry today announced agreements with rental car companies in Hawaii to provide customers with the ability to conveniently drive rental cars on and off the Alakai, currently making daily roundtrip voyages between Maui and Oahu.
 
Companies who have signed agreements which allow their customers take rental cars aboard Hawaii Superferry include:  Hertz Rent A Car, Dollar/Thrifty Automotive Group, Alamo/National Rent A Car, Avis/Budget Group, U-Haul, Ryder, and JN Car & Truck Rental.

"We are pleased to partner with Hawaii's rental car and truck companies to make travel on the Alakai a seamless process," said Hawaii Superferry Director of Business Development Terry O'Halloran.
