Top tips for hiring a car in Kahului
- Get the most out of your trip to Kahului with a hire car. Explore everything this scenic area has to offer, from the beach to the Twin Falls Maui Waterfall (about 19 miles from Kahului center) to the West Maui Forest Reserve. Discover the beauty of Maui nature with the comfort and flexibility a hire car can offer.
- Kahului Airport is just under 4 miles from the city center and features a hire car center with eight companies represented, including Avis, Enterprise, Hertz, and Thrifty. The service center can be found at the end of the Baggage Claim Area, but shuttle buses from the terminals also operate and bring travelers to and from the hire center. Depending on where you stay, the drive into the city via Lanui Cir will take about 10 minutes.
- The driving speed in Maui is generally lower than in most parts of the world, so lean back and enjoy a pleasant, relaxed, and hassle-free ride. Interstates and freeways are not common around Kahului and streets can be narrow, so drive at a moderate speed. Despite the stunning scenery, keep your eyes on the road, as deer and the occasional cow can cross at any given time, but especially at dusk and dawn.
- Driving in Kahului is not recommended during 4 and 6 PM, as this is the general rush hour in Maui and many roads are narrow, meaning contraflow traffic can be a bit challenging. If possible, venture out in the mornings and return after 6 PM to avoid congestion. Kahului is renowned for its beautiful weather, but torrential rain showers can also occur -- it is not advisable to hit the road when it is pouring out.
- 25% of our users found rental cars in Kahului for $76 or less
- Book your rental car in Kahului at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
FAQs about renting a car in Kahului
What type of car is recommended for driving in Kahului?
Since many streets in Kahului are narrow, a compact car is a good choice for a vacation here. Additionally, a smaller car will ease the parking lot search and contraflow traffic will be grateful when you can whizz through the lanes without blocking the road.
What’s the speed limit in Kahului?
Always adhere to the speed limits in Kahului, even if others do not, as the traffic law enforcement is pretty strict in Maui.

Also look at the speed limit posted and adhere to it, or go slower if the road or weather conditions demand it.
Where are the best places to park in Kahului?
If your hotel does not have a parking lot, a good alternative is the P+R in the south of Kahului or the Kahului Park, where cars can be parked conveniently. Street parking is also an option, but usually only allowed for up to 60 minutes and not overnight, so opting for a hotel with a parking lot or using a public parking garage is preferable.

Apr 2021
Pros:
Professional staff.Cons:
Maybe not sell off cars next time they are sitting around waiting for a pandemic to end. Also maybe not gouge those of us who had to use our airline tickets before they expire and we all show up to Hawaii at once. I guess I’m glad I paid double instead of triple the price, or at least we had a car. Thanks for having a few left. The trip was great. The car was great. The price was not. I hope my donation goes to getting some more cars so I don’t have to worry about it next time. I’d have done the exact same thing if I was in your shoes.10.0 Wonderful

Pros:
Staff was friendly and pickup and drop off was also fast and easy.Cons:
We were told we got the last full size car which would have been a huge problem since we had 4 people and lots of luggage. So thankful they didn’t try to give us a smaller car.9.2 Wonderful
Oct 2019
Pros:
Staff was exceptional. I was assisted checking in at a kiosk and probably did it in less than five minutes. At the drop off, I was done in about the same time. I should have taken longer because I left my prescription glasses in the car. But they found them and contacted me before id even had time to file a claim.Cons:
I dislike the USB connection in the car (I know: a manufacturer’s problem). The unit never communicated adequately with my iPhone, wouldn’t display my map, and insisted on playing my music in alphabetical order, starting over each time I started the car.8.0 Very Good

Pros:

Cons:
After driving away from the airport and turning down the high level of A/C set by the Enterprise, we smelled Cigarette SMOKE in the car and there were soiled spots on the back seat. I called and got a reference #.3.6 Poor
Jun 2019
Pros:
Not much really.Cons:
The car had a lot of scratches on it and smelled like smoke. When I booked the reservation I wasn’t aware that the location wasn’t at the airport. When I dropped the car off I had to pay for an Uber because that location has no courtesy shuttle.10.0 Wonderful

Pros:
There was nothing I liked about dollar rental car in Maui. They were a total ripoff. The car had a flat tire and I was charged a $939 dollar towing fee.Cons:

Pros:
Drop off was fairly quick.Cons:
The “wildcard special” while the desk agent claimed to have a “full fleet” of vehicles was not so much a wildcard as your choice in color of your Chevy Spark. Would be less disappointed and more accurate to just call it a compact or budget rental than “wildcard special”.6.0 Okay
Apr 2021
Cons:
We waited over an hour in the Maui heat trying to get our car. Not enough agents to help out the 20+ customers in line. Once we got to the desk, our agent was courteous and helpful. Your policy of charging extra for an additional driver is just wrong and not appreciated. Our car was ok but had been hosed down and was wet inside as well as outside.8.0 Very Good

Pros:
Staff was ok. Drop off easy.Cons:
Cars are extremely overpriced right now I believe Hawaii is making up for what they lost in revenue during the Covid restrictions. To pay $1400 for one week versus $300 like we used to seems pretty ridiculous. Obviously you do it because you want to go but it seems evident to me what they’re doing with the prices… Making up for lost revenue.Payless

Dec 2020
Cons:
Not enough help at the counter, long 20 minute wait with only 2 people in line. Car auto locked with keys in it somehow, modern cars are not supposed to do that which almost made us miss our flight. Sat on hold with customer NO SERVICE for 25 minutes waiting for them to answer. Even though the door had a numeric key pad, they could not give me the code to unlock the car. Gave up on them after several calls. Called my own lock smith that was there in 15 min after my call. WILL NEVER RENT FROM THEM AGAIN!!!6.8 Okay

My reservation was for a Jeep Cherokee or similar model. The best we could get without an increase in price was a Jeep Compass-not even close to a Jeep Cherokee, but decent price overall. I just didn't appreciate being misled.10.0 Wonderful

Pros:

Pros:
Friendly, pretty quickCons:
Maybe two sets of keys just in case you lock a set in the car. Never happened but a thought. Would have preferred having a fob to lock and unlock5.2 Fair
Mar 2020
Cons:
VERY SLOW pickup process. Each customer is at the counter 10-15 minutes, spending most of the time finding off agressive up-selling attempts - car upgrades, gas options, and mostly insurance add-ons. They hide the option of declining supplemental insurance altogether. Forcing you to choose between three levels. They pepper you with scare tactics. This all takes a lot of time. The car itself, not the model promised. Reserved a Toyota RAV5, got a large SUV. Poorer gas mileage and difficulty parking in resort's small parking spots. Car condition was pretty poor - lots of dings and scratches. Which need to be carefully documented, requiring more time. Car ran fine. Go with the major rental companies. You'll likely be about to pickup your reserved vehicle with little or no time spent at the counter.5.6 Fair
Feb 2020
Cons:
Did not have SUV and gave us a mini van that we did not like. When we drove to our condo the tire pressure light came on. We then noted a tire with a slow leak that had been pumped up for rental. We called to return the car and the person in duty found and reserved an SUV for us, which was good but we had to pay for the gas to return to airport to return van! As a courtesy, the person also gave us a 90 minute extension to return the vehicle but only noted it in the file, we were charged a $35 overage and had to stand in line at counter to ask someone to read notes and adjust, which was done, but was another hassle. We were also told it would be best to buy a tank of gas at 3.29 per gallon, but we are not told it came with $30+ of airport taxes which was ridiculous. We had to call and get that changed too. We filled up the tank which was almost empty on the SUV for $40 at Costco vs the $85 you tried to charge us. TAXES on tsnk of gas should be disclosed. In addition we were renting car from 4pm to 5pm return assuming there was a one hour grace period that is standard. When flight arrived early so we picked up car at 3:30pm, agent charged us for two additional hours without disclosing it. Lots of sneaky things we didn’t notice on contract until we read the print out on way home. People at Kahului we’re all very nice and fixed all we needed. It’s not them that appear to be wrong, it’s the company. We will rent from you again but will not take a van, will not take gas, and will look for system sneaking extra hours on the contract.6.0 Okay
Feb 2020
Pros:
Car was clean.Cons:
I reserved a "Ford Mustang Convertible or similar model not guaranteed." They had plenty of Mustangs but charged me $350 to "upgrade" to what I literally reserved, a Mustang. Check out was slow as they tried to sell options and there was no one there when I returned the car and although someone appeared, they walked off in another direction.Avis

Cons:
Even though I rented the vehicle almost a year in advance, and a month before our trip they canceled me! I was horrified! I was told they were over booked. Come on cancel mine from that long ago? So, had to work with them to get another one, of which cost almost double. Was told we would be reimbursed the extra upon our return, but it was just the hassle of having to start over, when I know we were ousted because I had a good price from them so long ago and took it. We even had to rearrange our travel because they were only open 11:00-3:00. It was just a shame we were treated like that.2.0 Poor
Apr 2020
Cons:
I requested a refund and I still haven't received it. When I call Kayak, they tell me to contact Ace. When I call Ace, they tell me to call Kayak. The transparency and customer service is borderline fraudulent and should be reviewed by the BBB.National
