Again, I made another call to roadside assistance. The first person told us to charge the keyfob in center console. At 6pm, I called roadside assistance again. Good samaritans drove to town and brought us back a new battery for the keyfob but the car still wouldn’t start. At this point, we are on the side of the road next to a beach. However, the car would not start because the keyfob was not being recognized. With the help of bystanders, we figured out how to manually open the driver side door. Inside the car were our cell phones and we could not open the doors.

Around 5pm, when returning to the car, the keyfob was not working. Finally, four hours later (around 12pm), we received a replacement VW Beetle convertible.

I promptly said no and the next solution was to wait for another vehicle to be delivered. I called roadside assistance and their first solution was for me to drive back to Honolulu to exchange the car. Imagine the concern, given it was going to be a 90 degree day. After driving about 45 min, the “check coolant” warning appeared, implying the fluid levels were not serviced before we rented the car. Around 7:30am, we headed to the North Shore in a VW Beetle convertible. Recently, I rented a car in Honolulu, HI and planned to spend the day on the North Shore. If you are unfortunate enough to need their roadside assistance, you will probably be SOL. This was my first and possibly last time renting a car from Alamo Rent A Car.
