Be extremely wary of renting from an individual or a "business" that isn't registered as a real rental car company.
Things to watch for are those that require you to have your own insurance and demand a CASH deposit.

There have been reports locally (specifically in Kona) of a couple of these clowns who rent you a used vehicle, then claim later that you caused some sort of damage to it, and keep most if not all of your cash deposit. Your ability to dispute this is going to be extremely difficult since you rented from an illegal business to begin with. Since they don't pay taxes on the rental charges and don't pay the state rental car fees either, you are really stuck.

In addition to Harpers, Enterprise rents small trucks at the airport in Hilo. One should reserve a far in advance as possible.

Don't rent from the airport location - you will have to pay the airport rental fees. Rent from the local office that is up towards WalMart, just South of the airport. They share vehicles from each other's location.
