KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Lahaina

  • Lahaina car hire gives you the freedom to discover the town on the island entirely. Having a car makes the journey comfortable if you travel with your child, as you can make as many stops as you want. You also avoid the hustle of getting on a bus with your luggage and the crowds at the stations. Economically, hiring a car is cheaper than paying for cab fares to every destination. You also manage your schedule without relying on public transport schedules. A car is necessary if you want to visit Haleakala National Park, a distance away from Lahaina.
  • Kapalua Airport, which is a small airport, is about ten minutes from Lahaina city centre. It does not have car rental services on the premise. However, many Lahaina car hires companies service the airport from their offsite airport facilities. They provide shuttle services from the airport to their offices, where you can pick up your rental car.
  • Always drive your car from car hire in Lahaina on the right and pass on the left. Rarely do locals use the names of the highways; thus, it might be a bit confusing, but the directions compass based. Be alert while driving in Lahaina as the locals go very slow as the speed limits are low. Watch out for pedestrians as they may step on the road unexpectedly. Always beware that other drivers may also get distracted by the beautiful scenery on the road.
  • Lahaina town does not have a large population, and experiencing traffic is rare. However, during rush hours, around 1600hrs, the single-lane roads surrounding the city may build traffic. Do not expect to see multi-lane freeways, as most roads are country roads. Due to the city's location, sometimes the roads can be very windy, and thus exercise caution. It can also be frustrating when using the passing lane as slower drivers use it for a long time, and the speed limits are very low.
  • Book your car hire in Lahaina at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Full-size hire cars in Lahaina are around 11% cheaper than other car types, on average

The largest car park is at the corner of Front Street and Prison Street, but it is often full because it is free.

Bryan, Mar 2020

KAYAK

Pros:

Staff onsite was super friendly at the 30 Halawai location

Cons:

Little confusing when booking online. Started with a Westin location, they told me the only office that had a Jeep was the “airport” location, which turned out to be right across the street from my hotel. They did phone the location and let them know I was coming. And, my car was not there, they went and got it and I was on my way

KAYAK

Pros:

Nothing- I’ll never use National again, or Rentacars.com

Cons:

I made the reservation to pick up the car at OGG in Maui. The reservation kicked me over to pick up at the airport in West Maui, without my knowledge. When I discovered this three days before my trip, I tried to call and remedy the situation. No cars were available at OGG, which I understand, due to low inventory. The real clincher was when I told the National office in West Maui that I wouldn’t be able to pick up for an hour later than originally planned, due to now having to take an expensive Uber to get there after landing. They told me I was out of luck since the office closes at 5pm. I was basically screwed. I had to make a new reservation at Avis (last minute) for $800 more, which pretty much ruined my vacation.

Pros:

That we got a Chevy blazer instead of a Ford Focus and was able to return it to the airport.

Cons:

No body answered the phone when we tried to get an Uber and couldn’t. Was told there was drop off service but couldn’t get a hold of anyone. We had to take a bus and walk to her the car and after arriving found the person on her cell phone with no customers.

Pros:

The locations were good, car was very clean, infotainment was updated

Cons:

The lot from the desk to picking the car was far away at the Hyatt location. They gave us the keys and told us to honk the horn to find it after a 5 minute walk to the lot with the cars
