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 #.

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.

Pros: The staff at this location were friendly and thoughtful. There were 4 of us traveling together for the first part of our trip, and 2 at another, so we booked a smaller car. They wanted to ensure we had enough room for us all, and upgraded us to a perfect sized SUV.

Cons: They are off airport, but it was a quick $10 Lyft ride (about 10 minutes total), and unlike the on airport location(s) there was no waiting, and we were driving off 5 minutes after arriving at their lot. Worth the $ savings too - this is a 100% positive review!

Nice service. Intermediate SUV = small CUV

Pros: Nice service. Friendly people. Good value when booking early. Half price compared to the airport locations.

Cons: An intermediate SUV (advertised as Rogue or similar) turned out to be a Honda HRV. Can hardly be described an an intermediate SUV. Fortunately, all of our luggage fit in, but barely with golf clubs and all.

Satisfied customer!

Pros: When I realized this was off airport and would need a taxi, I was a bit skeptical, but it proved to be very easy and inexpensive to get a cab. I wasn't sure about a hybrid having never driven one before, but it got great gas mileage and was just fine for us. We even got an upgrade because they were out of the car type I had reserved. The people we dealt with at the company were all very nice and helpful even calling a cab for us when we returned the car. I would definitely consider using this company on future trips. The wait at the rental desk was much shorter than the airport companies, and a fantastic price too!

Cons: I wasn't crazy about a cab ride, but the price of the car rental more than made up for that!

Two locations

Pros: Beware there are two Enterprise locations by the kahului airport. One is served by the shuttle from the airport shuttle while the other is not. Even though it's only a mile away. We mistakenly took the shuttle to the wrong location thinking we had rented from that one, only to find that out car was at the other. They did offer a ride to the other location saying that someone would pick us up on a few minutes which turned into nearly an hour. Just be sure to check the location you are renting from if you want to shuttle to/from the airport.

Top tips for renting 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.

Book your rental car in Kahului at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

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. Embrace the “aloha” driving style and relax your speed, as Hawaii is the state with the lowest maximum speed, allowing 55 mph on freeways and 25 mph in residential areas and when children are in the vicinity. Also look at the speed limit posted and adhere to it, or go slower if the road or weather conditions demand it.

How are gas prices in Kahului?

The average refill in Kahului will cost about $3.35 per gallon, but petrol stations like Costco may offer up fuel as low as $3.09 per gallon. Shell is among one of the most expensive places to refill your tank and should be avoided if possible.

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.
