Saving Tips
  • Compare airport vs town pickups: Off-airport desks in Kahului are usually 10-15 min away and avoid the 11 % concession fee + $4.50/day facility charge. Factor in the cost of a quick rideshare to see if the math works.

  • Peak season? Reserve early, then re-shop: For June–August and mid-Dec crowds, lock something in 3-6 months out, but keep checking. Most bookings are free to cancel, so snag any later price drops.

  • Go small unless you truly need space: Compact cars handle Maui's paved roads fine, park easier at beach lots and sip less fuel—often 20-30 % cheaper per day than SUVs or convertibles.

  • Limit extra drivers: Each additional driver runs about $10/day. Decide on one main driver (two if you're swapping long drives) and skip the fee.

  • Cheap gas hack: Top up at stations on Dairy Rd or the Costco near OGG—typically $0.50/gal less than resort areas—before heading to Hana or returning the car.

  • A cell phone waiting lot allows temporary waiting while picking up arriving passengers

FAQs

What is the minimum age to rent a car in Kahului?

Most companies will rent you a car if you're 21 or older. If you're between 21 and 24, they usually add a young driver fee of about $25 to $30 per day.

Do I need a 4WD vehicle to drive to Haleakala or Hana?

No. You can get to all major tourist spots on Maui, like Haleakala and the Road to Hana, on paved roads. Any standard rental car will do the job.

Are there toll roads on Maui?

No. Hawaii doesn't have any toll roads or toll bridges. If a rental company offers you a toll program and you're only staying in Hawaii, you can say no.

What should I do if I encounter heavy rain on the Road to Hana?

You should drive slowly and use your headlights. Never try to cross a flooded road. If the weather gets worse, think about turning back or waiting somewhere safe until the rain stops.

Can I drive around the entire island of Maui?

You can, but rental car companies usually don't allow you to drive on the remote part of Piilani Highway past Hana. That road is narrow and isolated in some spots and your insurance might not cover you if you have a problem there.

Is there a grace period for returning rental cars?

Most companies give you a grace period of 29 to 59 minutes. After that, they might charge you for another full day. You should call the rental office if you think you're going to be very late.

Do I need to wash the car before returning it?

The rental company expects a normal amount of sand or dirt. But if you return the car extremely dirty, they may charge a cleaning fee. To avoid this, give the car a quick rinse or vacuum if it's covered in mud or full of sand.

Where can I find the cheapest gas near OGG Airport?

Costco usually has the cheapest gas, but you need a membership. Its prices are often about $0.50 less per gallon than nearby stations. The store is close to the airport in Kahului.
