KAYAK’s top tips for renting 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 rental car in Lahaina at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Mini rental cars in Lahaina are around -30% cheaper than other car types, on average

Jul 2018
Pros:
My first time in Hawaii and I landed up reserving in the wrong airport. At OGG they told me they would charge me an extra $120 per day to change the reservation. I had to take $100 taxi to get to my car.Cons:
It wasn’t Avis s fault that I erred in the reservation, but they couldn’t care less of my predicament and were very unsympathetic. On principle I will rent from Avis again.3.2 Poor
May 2018
Pros:
Car was very niceCons:
I was charged an EXTRA day because my inter-island flight was cancelled due to bad weather, but I still returned the car before the 48 hour mark so I should NOT have even been charged one extra penny!! The rep at Avis agreed and said I got screwed but they couldn’t alter the extra charge on my contract and said I’d have to go back in the office and stand in a huge line to get the credit, but then I’d MISS MY FLIGHT! I decided to handle it after I got back home to Maui and I emailed Avis and called them but I got NO response! I’m planning to dispute with my credit card if they don’t credit my visa and resolve this issue!9.6 Wonderful

Cons:
Avis cannot see that I bought insurance through Kayak when I made the reservation, and made me to feel that it was left off somehow by mistake, and that we would therefore have no coverage. We bought insurance from Avis and later found we had coverage through Kayaks provider so it was a waste of money, very unhappy that Avis couldn't see the insurance we had bought.10.0 Wonderful

Pros:
Staff onsite was super friendly at the 30 Halawai locationCons:
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 way10.0 Wonderful

Pros:
We had to take a taxi there as the place at the Sheraton within walking was sold out. They were very very busy but shantelle did a good job of moving us through quickly and let us return it at the rental place within walking. The key drop.box was easy to find.Cons:
I understand they were busy, but they were unable to pick us up so we could get on our way so we had to pay a taxi.9.6 Wonderful

Nov 2018
Cons:
Overpriced.. my flight in Maui was cancelled,and it was redirected to another airport in Maui. When asked to changed my pick up to the new airport, they charged me with todays’s price. It didn’t matter if I had booked and paid this in advance(which was much lesser). Extra costs like one way fee etc was understandable, changing the daily charges from 40$ per day to 100$ per day is unacceptable.. the car they provided was clean and good but this place is clearly overpriced for emergency changes in schedules.2.0 Poor
Mar 2018
Pros:
We went to Kahului accidentally and reservation was in Lahaina. The agent was able to accomodate our reservation in Kahului.Cons:
The shuttle line from the airport was 1 hr. Long. We waited outside in the heat for another 45 min. on a list just to go inside. Then another 45 min. inside in line to meet an agent. Fortunately, our car was ready, but some folks were waiting another 45 min. For the car to be cleaned. We saw elderly people and pregnant women outside in the heat of mid afternoon. Disgraceful!2.0 Poor
Feb 2018
Pros:
Not much.Cons:
The counter person did very little to help and her attitude was poor as well. The car was supposed to be ready at noon and the paperwork was finished at noon but I was told the car wasn’t ready. I along with other customers had to wait about an hour making us late for a scheduled prepaid tour. Avoid Budget in Maui!National

Apr 2021
Pros:
Nothing- I’ll never use National again, or Rentacars.comCons:
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.10.0 Wonderful

I called several days before our arrival to confirm. I was told your office was only open until 4:30 and we would not be able to pick up a ca, as we were not arriving until 9 pm , I canceled the car, rebooked at a higher rate. Upon arrival I found out your rental desk was open until 10:30pm . It cost us an additional 200.00. I will not be in any hurry to rent from your company again.10.0 Wonderful
