About Marco Lavigne-Thomas

Born from a desire to showcase the Big Island's hidden wonders, Ready Rigs is more than just a rental service. Every time friends visited, we'd embark on unforgettable road trips, camping under the stars, savoring local delicacies, and tracing secret waterfalls. We yearn to share that same pure, unfiltered Hawaii with you. Our mission? Ditch the conventional. We want you to dive deep into Hawaii's heart, beyond the glossy veneers of big-name resorts. For over 9 years, the Big Island has been our playground and home, and we've meticulously crafted each vehicle to be a true embodiment of island exploration. With Ready Rigs, you're not just renting a vehicle; you're unlocking an experience. Why Ready Rigs? Preparedness: Our rigs are meticulously equipped, right down to the tiniest detail. Every inclusion, from the curated guidebook and efficient electric cooler to the playing cards is thoughtfully chosen. Off-Road Ready: Designed to tread where others can't, our 4x4s with upgraded suspensions promise untethered freedom. Customer Acclaim: Our commitment to quality shines through in the feedback from our renters— they cherish the thought and detail we pour into each journey. Authenticity at Heart: As lifelong campers, we're advocates for genuine travel experiences that truly connect you with your destination. Though a newcomer in the business space, Ready Rigs draws from almost a decade of island life and exploration. Our future gleams with ambitions of spanning across islands and even reaching the terrains of Seattle, my childhood home. While I'm proud of our Big Island connection, I'm equally conscious of my role as a mainland transplant in a rapidly changing Hawaii. Respect, mindfulness, and community involvement are pillars of our business ethos. With Ready Rigs, you aren't just exploring an island; you're becoming part of a story— one of reverence, adventure, and authentic Hawaiian spirit. Come, let the journey unfold.
