Shortages of rental cars is a common problem in a lot of vacation destinations, and Kauai is no exception.
For example, for the first week of this November, CostcoTravel.com shows no rental cars available at any price.
Owners and guests are getting creative if they can't find a vehicle for their stays on the island. Here are a few ideas (and big thanks to Marianne Thesken for finding some of them). Note these are possible resources and haven't been vetted.
Shuttles
Polynesian Adventure: https://www.polyad.com/tour-destination/airport-shuttle/
They provide service from LIH Airport to Poipu (Kiahuna Plantation) everyday. Shuttles leave the airport every 90 minutes between 9:30am and 6:30pm. Reserve your spot early. Return service to the airport is also available.
They offer a 1-day pass Island Hopper for $55 taking you to destinations between Poipu - Koloa - Kapaa - Princeville. It's mostly used as a hotel shuttle but there are a few other stops along the way.

Shared shuttle service available for $49.50 for two.

Shared and private shuttle service and tours.
Privately owned rental cars (Airbnb for cars)

Local residents will rent their car to you much like Airbnb does for accommodations. Prices are high but if you must have a car and you're not picky, this could be an answer.
