Hawaii Superferry customers will be able to take their rental cars on board the Alakai as part of an agreement with several major rental car companies.

The company announced Thursday agreements with 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. "Having these agreements in place makes it easier for our customers driving rental vehicles, particularly visitors to our islands who will now only need to get their keys once from rental car companies, leaving them more time to enjoy the islands."
