CruiserBruce Posted September 18, 2017 #2 Share Posted September 18, 2017 There are many threads just down the board on renting cars. But the first, and most important question is where are you coming ashore on Maui, Lahaina or Kahalui? That is critical info for the answers to your question.

Thanks in advance for your imput! Coming ashore at Kahului. Guess you had to read the past posts...OP couldn't tell us. For the OP, at Kahalui, the rental cars are at the airport, and all vendors provide a shuttle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Canuck Posted September 20, 2017 #5 Share Posted September 20, 2017 just did this with National..they quit doing a shuttle..was about a $10 cab ride. Think alamo also does not have a shuttle. check with the rental car company websites to make sure. people try to help here but info changes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeerdas Posted September 20, 2017 #6 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Dollar, Thrifty, and Hertz should have shuttles. Though I can't confirm--it's been a while. I'll be in Maui early Oct. Don't know which of the three companies I'm using, as I use AutoSlash to find me the best rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Canuck Posted September 20, 2017 #7 Share Posted September 20, 2017 they had a guy in the port directing people to the area to line up for the rental car shuttles...there was a sign for National..we stood there for a bit until a guy suggested we split a cab...turns out no longer a shuttle and the guy at the port did not even realize that.

fligster Posted September 23, 2017 #8 Share Posted September 23, 2017 We cruised a few weeks ago and used Enterprise on Hana HWY, it is a 10 minute walk from the ship. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Sweethearts Posted September 23, 2017 #9 Share Posted September 23, 2017 We cruised a few weeks ago and used Enterprise on Hana HWY, it is a 10 minute walk from the ship. Good idea, but just remember that location is only open 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sundays and 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays. If coming in by 4 p.m. on Sunday and not going out until after 7 a.m. on Monday works, it certainly is more convenient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, or if keeping overnight, but you then still have to find a place to park. 7am was a concern for our plans, but it did work out and we only paid ~$32 for the day.

fligster Posted September 24, 2017 #12 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Where did you park for the night?? We only rented the car for Monday so didn’t need overnight parking. We had done a ship excursion on Sunday. We used the car Monday to get to private snorkeling excursion. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drafterdw Posted October 2, 2017 #13 Share Posted October 2, 2017 We had hoped to do the Luau which would mean dropping car off around 10 or the next morning....it is my understanding there is no parking at port so I guess I am wondering how late we can drop car off and how to get back to ship? Shuttle? Cab? Any info would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Sweethearts Posted October 3, 2017 #14 Share Posted October 3, 2017 I am wondering how late we can drop car off and how to get back to ship? Shuttle? Cab? Any info would be appreciated. We have read this same topic on several threads, and we are curious what posters found out when they called and asked their respective car rental locations here on Maui? Those would be the best places to get the latest news on their shuttle hours. As far as getting back to the ship, the shuttle is the best idea if one is provided and you get over to the agency during its shuttle's operational hours. Otherwise a cab from the airport (both the rental agencies and airport cab areas are close to the public parking) is necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shuttle? Cab? Any info would be appreciated. As suggested, you'd have to call the rental agency location you plan to rent from and ask if they provide shuttles. I doubt if non airport site locations provide them, but you might find one who does. Or, just rent from the airport location. We use Thrifty. Renting through Discount Hawaii Car Rentals makes this easy. Call them to reserve or do it through their website, just add a dot com. Then just catch the shuttle inside the port to pick up the car. When you return it, the shuttle will take you back. If you keep it overnight, park in airport parking lot near the rental offices. You can take the shuttle back to port. Just check with them to see how late the shuttle runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
