Nightly rate is usually the first number people look at when comparing camper van rentals — but it's rarely the only number that matters. Here's the full, verified breakdown of what a Mana Vans Hawaii rental actually costs, what's refundable, and what the cancellation policy looks like. Nightly Rates Each van in our fleet — Karma, Nalu, Bali, and Lotus — is currently listed at $189 per night. Rates can range from $69 to $299 per night depending on season, mileage package, and demand, so it's worth checking current availability for your exact dates on our pricing page . Discounts for Longer Trips and Early Booking Trip length and how far in advance you book both work in your favor. Week-long rentals get roughly 10% off the nightly rate, and month-long rentals get roughly 12% off. If you're planning far ahead, booking six months or more before your trip can get you up to 20% off — the single biggest discount available, and one a lot of renters don't realize exists until they ask. Security Deposit & Prep Fee Every van rental includes a $1,200 refundable security deposit and a $239 prep fee. The prep fee isn't a junk charge — it covers a full detail of the van inside and out, cleaning the linens, and topping off the water storage and other fluids before you pick it up. The security deposit is refunded as long as the van comes back in the condition it left in; it's not part of the nightly rate you see advertised, so it's worth budgeting for separately when you're planning your trip cost. Cancellation & Refund Policy This is the part worth reading before you book, not after. You can cancel within 48 hours of booking for a full refund, as long as at least 14 days remain before departure. After that 48-hour window, refunds scale down based on how close you are to your trip: 60% back if you cancel 30 or more days before arrival, 25% back if you cancel 14–29 days out, and no refund at all if you cancel within 14 days of arrival — plus a $150 cancellation fee on top. A couple of details worth knowing: the service fee, and the tax charged on it, are never refundable regardless of when you cancel. Insurance and other taxes are refundable. And if there's still a balance owed on your booking at the time you cancel, that remainder is due — canceling doesn't erase what's already owed on the total. If your plans might still be in flux, it's worth booking with that 48-hour window in mind, or calling to talk through your specific dates before you commit. Early Pick-Up, Late Drop-Off & Other Add-Ons If your flight schedule doesn't line up neatly with a standard pick-up or drop-off time, early pick-up or late drop-off is available for $50 each, upon request and confirmed in advance — this isn't guaranteed on demand, so it's best to ask when you book rather than the day of. Airport pick-up or drop-off runs $25 each way, and if you're planning to snorkel, gear is available at $30 per adult and $20 per child. Putting It All Together For a one-week trip in one van at the current $189/night rate, a rough budget looks like: nightly rate (with the ~10% weekly discount applied), plus the $239 prep fee, plus the $1,200 refundable deposit set aside separately, plus any add-ons you choose. The deposit comes back after the trip, so it's not money you actually spend — but it does need to be available on your card when you pick up the van. Ready to Get a Quote?
