redtinarn Posted April 6, 2010 #1 Share Posted April 6, 2010 I'm a little confused about dropping off our Thrifty rental car in Maui. If we booked it as a Harbor Pick Up, where do we drop it off & how late can we drop it off and still have a shuttle back to the boat? Also, how do you get from the Honolulu airport to the ship after dropping off the rental car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pizzalady1 Posted April 6, 2010 #2 Share Posted April 6, 2010 I'm a little confused about dropping off our Thrifty rental car in Maui. If we booked it as a Harbor Pick Up, where do we drop it off & how late can we drop it off and still have a shuttle back to the boat? Also, how do you get from the Honolulu airport to the ship after dropping off the rental car? The following is based on arriving at Kahului which the POA does, and does not apply to Lahaina. You will picked up and drop off the car at the Hahului airport location. There will be a shuttle to pick you up at the pier to go to the rental office and a shuttle to take you back to the pier. They will tell you what time the last shuttle will be. You should also sign up for their Blue Chip program before renting. That way all the paperwork is done when you get to the rental office and they even have a special line for Blue Chip members. We never had more than a few minute wait at any island.

redtinarn Posted April 6, 2010 Author #3 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Mostly wondering if we will have enough time to do the road to Hana then drop the car off. I just don't want to miss the last shuttle, but I don't want to be too rushed either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budget Queen Posted April 6, 2010 #4 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Mostly wondering if we will have enough time to do the road to Hana then drop the car off. I just don't want to miss the last shuttle, but I don't want to be too rushed either. I always get a two day rental, but if you happen to miss the last shuttle, it's probably only a $15 cab ride to the dock. Get yourself going in the morning and pick up the car early. You won't have any problem being back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisingGoddess Posted April 6, 2010 #5 Share Posted April 6, 2010 I'm dropping off my car AFTER the Old Lahainia Luau so I've actually called Thrifty about this. In Kahului, Thrifty closes at 11 pm. The shuttle back to the ship stops at 9 pm. If you dropoff between 9-11 pm, they can call a cab for you to take you back to the ship. You have to pay for the cab but it shouldn't cost too much since it's not that far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got back a little after nine, but we were lucky the last shuttle had not shown up yet. We did get the shuttle back, but it would have been easy to call a taxi to get back since the office doesn't close until later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
