We booked our car rental last July for our upcoming June Hawaii trip. At the time of booking, the cost of car rental was pretty high, but it seems like it is even higher now.
June 17-June 22, 2022, Mini-Van, Pickup and drop-off KOA airport, Total $477.00.
June 22-June 26, 2022, Mini-Van, Pickup and drop-off HNL airport, Total $544.00.
When I last checked, these same criteria's resulted in costs over $1000 for each rental.
I would book a car rental as soon as possible just to secure a car. Use a site that doesn't make you prepay and allows you to cancel without fees. I always use Discount Hawaii Car Rental to book our Hawaii rentals. They don't ask you to prepay and you can cancel your reservation without penalty if you find a better price.
Try searching on Costco Travel. I know a lot of people use their car rental booking services because they offer lower prices.Wishing I booked before!!!!
I didn't know about Autoslash until you posted here. I was comparing my $1000+ price on Hawaii Discount Car Rental's website. Glad to see there are better pricing alternatives for people.AutoSlash quotes the following and others for your HNL dates. High, but much less than the $1,000+ you mention.

I always check both Costco Travel and AutoSlash. For our current trip Costco Travel just wasn't competitive...other times they win out.I just booked a 4-door wrangler for a week in July thru Costco which was cheaper than Autoslash
How much are you paying for what kind of car and when? We are going late May and the prices look $750+ for the week. Standard sized. Convincing myself to go ahead and book cause the prices wont go down. Opinions?
Have you tried Turo? It's basically AirBnB for cars.
We booked and got a much better deal than Car Rental places....
