it so expensive to rent a car in Maui?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>While Hawaii car rentals have always been in demand, they&#39;re especially expensive now. That&#39;s because demand is outstripping supply now that more tourists are flocking back to its islands. The Hawaii Tourism Authority has noted that the supply of rental cars has dropped more than 40&#37; during the pandemic.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why-are-rental-cars-in-maui-so-expensive-right-now\"><\/span>Why are rental cars in Maui so expensive right now?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>As a result of that and the fact that Hawaii car rental companies sold off much of their fleets, car rentals remain in relatively short supply and more costly than before Covid, as demand in Hawaii has already skyrocketed and will only continue to go higher.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-is-the-cheapest-way-to-rent-a-car-in-maui\"><\/span>What is the cheapest way to rent a car in Maui?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Maui Car Rental 14 ways to get a great price<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"are-rental-cars-expensive-in-maui\"><\/span>Are rental cars expensive in Maui?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Kahului, Hawaii, has been named as the most expensive U<br \/> destination to rent a car this spring, according to a survey by CheapCarRental.net. A customer could expect to pay an average of $972 per week for the most affordable vehicle in Kahului, which is located on the Hawaiian island of Maui.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why-is-it-hard-to-rent-a-car-in-maui\"><\/span>Why is it hard to rent a car in Maui?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>We also checked for cars from Costco Travel. Again, it was difficult to find availability. Here&#39;s a screenshot of a search for a car on Maui for April 15, 2021. The shortage of cars is due to rental car companies selling off approximately 40&#37; of their fleet when demand fell drastically in 2020.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-much-is-uber-in-maui\"><\/span>How much is Uber in Maui?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Kahului to Lahaina: $30 to $40 uberx; $109 to $144 uberSELECT.

Many hotels and resorts \u2013 especially those in popular tourist areas like Wailea and West Maui \u2014 offer complimentary shuttle services to and from the airport as well as to nearby attractions and shopping areas.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"do-i-need-a-car-to-get-around-maui\"><\/span>Do I need a car to get around Maui?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Do I need a car to get around on Maui? You can get around Maui by shuttle, tour bus, taxi or public transportation. But to really experience Maui, you should consider reserving a rental car in advance from the Kahului or Kapalua airports.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-long-does-it-take-to-drive-around-maui\"><\/span>How long does it take to drive around Maui?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>About 9 hours<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"do-you-need-a-car-in-lahaina\"><\/span>Do you need a car in Lahaina?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>You need to rent a car in Maui to save money and time. A rental car will pay for itself compared to taking Uber or taxis if you visit attractions like Haleakala National Park, snorkeling, or dinner in Lahaina. Maui Bus offers an economical way to get around with $2 fares but buses leave every hour.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can-you-walk-around-maui\"><\/span>Can you walk around Maui?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Even though Maui may be smaller than other vacation destinations, it is still quite large. The island is around 48 miles long and 26 miles wide\u2014an ambitious walk for the average human.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"is-it-hard-to-drive-in-maui\"><\/span>Is it hard to drive in Maui?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Driving on Maui can be intimidating at first, especially for visitors used to a faster pace at home. Generally, speeds don&#39;t exceed 55 miles per hour on Maui ,and most of the roads vary between 25 mph and 45 mph.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can-you-drive-a-rental-car-around-maui\"><\/span>Can you drive a rental car around Maui?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Most all rental car companies on Maui will allow you to drive to Hana. Driving the backside of Haleakala, past Oheo Gulch is not recommended for the faint of heart.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"where-in-maui-should-you-not-drive\"><\/span>Where in Maui should you not drive?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Among the scariest roads in the world is the Kahekili Highway, dubbed the \u201cdeath highway of Maui,\u201d which snakes along West Maui&#39;s northern coast. The road is so dangerous that a number of rental car companies refuse to cover drivers who choose to travel on the highway.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can-you-drive-entire-road-to-hana-in-a-rental-car\"><\/span>Can you drive entire Road to Hana in a rental car?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In most cases, you can&#39;t drive rental cars past the Seven Sacred Pools at Ohe&#39;o due to the poor road conditions that lie ahead. At Enterprise, we highly recommend that visitors allow two and a half hours to complete the return Road to Hana trip during daylight.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"where-are-rental-cars-not-allowed-in-maui\"><\/span>Where are rental cars not allowed in Maui?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>There are only 2 &#34;portions&#34; of roads that the rental car companies don&#39;t want you to take their cars. The portion of the Hana Hwy past Kipahulu which is the south\/east flank of Haleakala, and a portion of Kahekili Hwy, that is in west Maui past the blow hole.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-car-is-needed-for-road-to-hana\"><\/span>What car is needed for Road to Hana?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In our opinion, a fun way to drive the Road to Hana is in a sporty 356 Porsche Speedster convertible from Maui Roadsters. Their classic 1957 Speedster reproductions come in many different colors, so you can travel in your own style.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"do-you-need-4-wheel-drive-road-to-hana\"><\/span>Do you need 4 wheel drive Road to Hana?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Yes, it&#39;s okay to drive a non 4wd car on the Hana road. Yes, Gardyloo&#39;s statement is exactly right. Any car will do unless there is a major washout &#8211; in which case no car will do. Only if you are going to continue around the island instead of turning around &#038; going back.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can-you-take-a-regular-car-on-road-to-hana\"><\/span>Can you take a regular car on Road to Hana?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>An SUV is not required. The road although curvy and narrow at parts, is paved and in excellent condition. You will require a large vehicle to insure your passengers are comfortable on this three hour drive, You must eat at at the Barefoot Caf\u00e9 which is a little caf\u00e9 by the beach in Hanah.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-food-is-maui-famous-for\"><\/span>What food is Maui famous for?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Travel Guide: 12 Local Foods to Eat in Maui, Hawaii<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why-is-the-road-to-hana-called-the-divorce-highway\"><\/span>Why is the Road to Hana called the divorce highway?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>There are about 620 curves and 59 bridges, 46 of which are one-lane bridges. It can take a toll on one&#39;s nerves, especially if one is used to driving on wide, multiple-lane highways. That&#39;s why the Road to Hana is also known as the \u201cDivorce Highway,\u201d because it has caused quite a few arguments among some couples.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-many-days-do-you-need-in-maui\"><\/span>How many days do you need in Maui?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If Maui is the only Hawaiian island you&#39;ll be visiting, you&#39;ll want at least 7-10 days to explore the island. That will give you enough time to do some day trips, take a few tours, check out the beaches, and have plenty of time to relax and unwind.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-is-the-best-month-to-be-in-maui\"><\/span>What is the best month to be in Maui?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The best times to visit Maui are April through May and September through November.
