Car Rental problems
Every now and then,recently, I hear horror stories about not being able to line up a rental car in Hawaii (the island). Has anyone encountered any problems, or is this another urban legend?

Not an urban legend.
Rental car agencies reduced their fleets when the economy tanked and there are regularly shortages of rentals available during peak times such as Christmas holiday and President's Day holiday.
People who delay reserving a rental car until early December start posting about getting quotes for $1000 a week rental car rates....

This is not just Hawaii. In NYC on summer weekend they frequently run out of cars. Many city dwellers don't own one - and have to rent every weekend to go to the shore or country house. I've had friends (even with a reservation - bit for Sat afternoon) have to wait 3 hours at Hertz or Avis for cars to be trucked in from Philly.
