best place to work with! no fear with renting a car here. so helpful. so kind. thank you

Great prices, friendly staff, excellent communication, free shuttle. What else do you need to know? Have used Kihei Rent A Car for several years now, sick of the expensive prices and insurance rip-off song & dance of the usual offenders. No Mustangs and Cameros, but you can get a Jeep, not that many tourists are off-roading it. Mostly they have Nissans that are a little under 10 years old, easy on gas, and actually fit well on the tight roads and parking spots typical on Maui. Experienced tourists rent here and don't get ripped off! read more

Kihei Rent A Car - Entrance - Car Rental Near Me - Kihei, Hawaii

After living in South Maui for 10yrs, I returned, this time as a tourist, renting a car. It felt SO GOOD to walk into Kihei Rent a Car, talk story with the warm and receptive staff. We do quick papers and I get the exact car I picked, locked and loaded in less than 10 mins. A warm aloha greeting and off we went. This place is an absolute gem and should be supported by all of us expats that need to come back and rip around the Valley Isle. Mahalo Nui Loa to Kihei Rent a Car. We'll be back soon. read more

Ok Return our maui cruiser and wait for our free Shuttle. We like to rent here because they are a family business and rent used cars. A superior rate. Ours was an old Nissan Sentra. Just enough nicks to look like a local vehicle in traffic. not a tourist target car for valuables. Good mileage still and everything worked. A Winner! read more

There very nice and honest people For 6 days that I rent the car I find the price great I love how they offer shuttle services to the airport it makes the trip so much easier My only comment would be if they could hopefully make shuttle services every 30 mins instead of by the hour I think that would make the service even greater! Would reccomend them ! read more

I can't recommend these guys enough. I always prefer renting from small local car rental companies and Kihei did not disappoint. Our first time on the island and we got a shuttle pick up that was there when we were, air conditioned, and playing curated songs to get us into the aloha mood. Also, I shopped around with the big guys and other locals and Kihei had the best rates. I actually prefer an older car as it makes me look like a local and means less chance of a car break in. Car was in good shape, got me about 36 mpg, and had working AC a radio, and a key fob. All the things I needed and they saved me over $200 from the big name guys. The car had I had was a 2016 Nissan Sentra and it had its dents and dings and definitely used but ran like a champ. Zero issues! Getting the car and returning it was such a quick process and no upsells plus they let my spouse drive for no additional cost. Next time I come back I'm using these guys again. Support local and save money is a win-win in my book. Mahalo! read more

Rented a 2018 Nisson Sentra. Car was decent condition and performed well. No strange odor and interior was clean. A/C worked great. Pricing was the best that we could find. The cars are not located at the airport. The company picks you and your luggage up from the airport with other people renting vehicles from them. It was less than a 20 minute ride to the rental lot. This was a small inconvenience considering the price for the rental. They had us in and out quickly. I will be renting from them again on the next trip. read more

Go local! Rent Kihei! I had a great experience renting. The staff were so kind from the start -- I got lost at the airport on day one, called them, and they patiently directed me right to where I needed to go. The shuttle to and from OGG was super easy and convenient. My car was a 2015 Nissan Sentra. It ran great, got awesome mileage, and the trunk was surprisingly big. The exterior had some sun spots and it wasn't spotless inside but it's a 10 year old car in Hawaii, which totally fit the base price. Mid‑trip a check engine light came on, I called, and they reassured me it was nothing urgent and talked me through it. Returning the car was quick and simple. $204 for 7 days! Mathew and the team were all stars and well will be back for seconds when we return to Maui! read more

Very reasonable prices on their Rent-A-Car. staff was nice easy to pick up and drop off car. They will pick you up from the airport and drive you to their car pick up as it is not on the Airport premises, that is why it is less expensive. read more

I highly recommend renting through this business instead of a larger chain company. They shuttled us to and from the airport. They were very friendly and had the vehicle pulled out front with our keys in less than 10 minutes from arriving. Also had incredible prices. I couldn't recommend enough!! read more

Great people. Cars are old but functional. Kinda far from airport so it adds up to your travel wait time.

Kihei Rent A Car staff were professional, friendly, and the price was very affordable. We rented a Nissan Rogue for five of us. We fit comfortably, including our luggage. Pick up/drop off to/from the airport was easy and convenient. Our driver was friendly and shared a lot of valuable information about the island. We will definitely rent them again! read more

Terrible service and bad communication. I recommend renting from elsewhere. The employees are rude and not accommodating.

Fantastic rental place. They are located in Kihei so they pick you up at the airport. Super friendly and outgoing people. We've used them twice and will again in the future. They have cars that are a little older but in great condition. You won't be disappointed. read more

What service! Our friend recommended Kihei Rent A Car for the location, cost, and service. In fact-from the moment we booked to when we picked up our Jeep-we were impressed with it all. It is a family-run business conveniently located on the south shore of Maui in the oceanfront town of Kihei. They really take pride in providing personalized service, well-maintained cars and a solid fleet of reliable vehicles at a discounted price. Service: The staff Corky Acacia offered outstanding service from pick up-registration -to drop off. They not only offered great service but provide us with local activities and go to island tops. read more

Been using them for decades as the most affordable place on the island. I now stray from time to time as their prices have crept up recently but the KRC service remains second to none. Courtesy OGG shuttle is the bonus as is adding a driver at no extra cost. Reservation and email communication is instantaneous with any changes needed made with a smile. read more

Great family owned rental car business with great prices and will pick you up & drop you off at the airport. As long as your flight lands before 10pm, they can still pick you up. They are about a 25 minute drive from the airport, so not far at all. The shuttle drivers can also give yoy some good tips on must see spots and things to do. I highly recommend renting from a local business while on the islands over the big country wide companies. Keeping it local is the best way to use your money everywhere. read more

The nicest people! Family owned 4 yr + old cars, terrific value! A hidden gem when visiting Maui. And because I wasn't in a new car I felt more like a local. They were super flexible when I asked to add a few days in advance of my reservation when my transport fell through. Way cheaper than renting through a traditional company even Turo! Highly recommend and will definitely be using again and telling all of my friends who are visiting Maui and locals who have friends visiting. read more

Great place , good prices , clean cars, friendly people . Was around $300 less expensive than Enterprise for a week and you support local so no brainer . read more

Do it; just book it now! Great prices on "pre-loved" Nissan Sentras. I rented a 2016 and it worked great. I ALWAYS book rental cars with Costco Travel, but I saved about $250 by going thru this family owned/local business. Give them a try! Also, their airport shuttle drivers are nice and will give you a bunch of local recommendations. Aloha! read more

Looking for the best place to rent a car? Go to Kihei Rent A car and ask for Arlene.... All the folks there are super kind and helpful. The prices are decent too. If you are local (state ID) they offer kama'aina rate too! Whoo hoo, and the service is quick. It only took me maybe 5 minutes to check in and "poof" the silver bullet appeared and we were out the door. Cars are clean and tidy but make sure they notice all the dents or scratches on the car before you leave. Good luck and happy safe driving and be extra aware of the local speed limits. read more

2018 car. $56/day Booked a car rental 15 minutes before I went to pick it up. $6 to upgrade the car. Super fast speedy service. I was out of there within 15 minutes. They have a lockbox so you can drop off your vehicle after they close. Super convenient and amazing customer service. These people were not working on Hawaii time! They saw we were in a hurry so they made things fast. read more

We LOVE Kihei Rent-A-Car! Our only regret is that we didn't know about them years ago! We've used them now for the last 5-6 years & will never use any other car rental again! What we love about them is they tell you to call them as soon as you've exited your plane. Once you grab your luggage & walk out to their pu location you're greeted by a friendly driver in a beautiful van & whisked off to Kihei. As soon as you arrive in Kihei they have your paperwork ready to sign & hand you your car keys. No lines, no waste of time. We would use them even if we stayed in other locations other then Kihei because they're so much more efficient & so much cheaper to use! They are awesome!! read more

RENTERS BEWARE!! I would have gave a great review but after the way we were treated and taken advantage of is diabolical. They will get you with the extra changes!! First, they double charged me when I had requested for an additional day and it took 3 callbacks for me to get my refund back for the overcharge. Secondly, the day of the return the car had scuffs that was out of our control, we were tripled charged the amount we paid for. Lastly, Mikey who we spoke to was unprofessional and had no sense of care. Be careful with family owned business like these, they may seem to care but will charge you insanely! They wouldn't even give us a complimentary ride to the airport for renting the car for 6 days. A lot of comments I'm seeing now show how they treat people. Disgusting and greedy people here, tourist beware!! read more

Great family owned business. Fantastic prices. Friendly people. Fast service. This is my second time renting from them and I've been very happy with my experience both times. Highly recommend. read more

I've used Kihei Rent A Car three times by recommendation and it's incredible how seamless and easy the process was. They're probably the cheapest rental car company on Maui, and half the price of most Turo rentals as well. Their cars are fairly new, clean, efficient, and diverse, allowing you to choose between Hana-ready jeeps, gas-saving sedans, and vans that can hold young children, beach chairs, and luggage. The staff are friendly and helpful, and they're accommodating; I've had to change around scheduling to leave Maui due to the wildfires and they were able to switch around my return date quickly. Picking up and booking the car was simple (just required my CC, drivers license, and a signed waiver). Just don't dirty their cars too much or damage them on the road to Hana (and usually the additional insurance with them isn't necessary since your CC company provides it). Best of all, they have free shuttles that travel to and from Kahului airport every hour, and they ensure they'll have room for you when you book with them. I'm very, very impressed with Kihei Rent-A-Car, and I'll continue to use them happily whenever I'm in Maui. read more

*COVID Update* They are open 9AM-5PM, but they will schedule people on call for shuttles that run after hours. Masks are required indoors. They have hand sanitizer. They didn't check temperatures. No bathroom. The prices here are way more affordable than the car rental companies at the airport!! Here's the main reason: the owner gets used cars and then rents them out. The cars will have normal wear and tear, and in our case, an old engine !? Keep reading. Our group really needed a mini-van, but they kept insisting that they could not give that to us. We were forced to rent two small cars instead of one big car. [The rental cars are an issue in the HI islands this year.] During our trip, the 2015 Nissan Sentra check engine light turned on while we were driving the Road to Hana, so obviously my group freaked out. We called them as soon as we had service, and they told us to drop by next morning. In the morning, we made the trip out to their office (mind you, this was out of our way and in the middle of our plans). Two people told us the light was completely fine. They were going to turn off the light and send us back with the same car. We really didn't feel safe because we didn't want to get stuck in Hana with a car situation!! The guy (not the lady) was able to accommodate our request, and I'm really glad they worked with us. I'm here at home now writing this review because I made it back in one piece. This was a super risky situation, but I guess we did save hundreds of dollars by going with this company. Not only that, their office was close to our stay in Kihei, and they charged $30 for airport shuttle, which runs every hour on the hour between 8 AM to about 10 PM. We did have to wait 40 minutes for the shuttle to pick us up upon arrival at OGG airport. read more

Amazing helpful staff who want your vacation to be amazing. We initially had an older car whose air conditioning was not up to cooling 4 menopausal women!! We returned the car the next day and they had a car ready to go....it cooled so well we actually had to turn up the temp. So happy with the staff, car and our amazing vacation. read more

Been renting from them about 10 years now. Everyone there is so friendly, courteous and welcoming. I won't go anywhere else... they have a shuttle to pick you up from the airport and back when you return your car. We wanted to extend our car one day and the nice lady on the phone said it was an extra $6.50 due to their price of a weekly rental. What???!!! Never in my life have I paid such a teeny amount to extend my rental. Support family owned businesses on Maui! read more

crappy cars, even crappier snarky customer service. this used to be the primo place to rent with aloha. what changed? there's lot's of other places with kaamaina deals to choose from read more

Rented a car from Kihei Rent a Car for a week in January 2025. Once we landed in Maui, we called their office and they had a shuttle pick us up in about 30 minutes! We also had them take us back to the airport for our departure. Both drivers were extremely nice, friendly and knowledgeable of the island. Everything went super smooth and we wholeheartedly recommend them for your car rental needs! We will be using them on our next trip for sure! -Mark and Amy O. read more

Yep... These cars are functional. LOL. Good pricing tho. We got a pretty old, but functional, car. Some scratches but nbd. Just make sure you check everything, bc I thought I did a pretty thorough initial walkthrough, internally and externally, only to find out near the end of our trip that the car literally doesn't have a horn. L M A O Staff is lovely and knowledgeable-- I believe Kihei Rent A Car is locally owned. We scheduled a shuttle from the airport with no problem, just provided our arrival time and their van appeared on the dot. Shuttle back to the airport was similarly easy to book. Other than the horn, we had no issues. The car was fine for our two-week trip. The price quoted upfront was about the same when we returned the car, no exorbitant additional fees. read more

Such great service! We were able to rent a car the day of, for around $50, and return it the next day! They were even kind enough to let us extend our return time a bit so we could quickly grab lunch before returning the car and heading to the airport. They also have a shuttle to the airport ($40 for the group), but for us it was cheaper to Uber. Overall, for rentals, so much cheaper than all the other options! Super nice workers, really thankful to Kihei Rent A Car for helping our spontaneous trip come together. Would definitely rent again. read more

This is the only rental car service we use. The best prices as well as service and convenience. Thank you to everyone - always filled with Aloha!! read more

This is the best car rental service on Maui PERIOD! The staff is so friendly and helpful, they will make the process go smoothly! The convenience is peak, they will pick you up from the airport right quick, and shuttle you to the airport when it's time to go back. Don't waste your time with Hertz or Avis. Give me Kihei rent-a-car or give me death! read more

Five stars for this local rental car company! I'm so glad our friend, who lives in Kihei, suggested this company instead of one of the larger ones based at the airport. Yes they have older vehicles but it all depends on what your needs are. We knew we wouldn't need 4 wheel drive so we opted for a 2016 Nissan Sentra. It cost $350 for 7 days, a great price! Did the car have some dents and dings and maybe a zip tie holding the passenger door handle together? It did but that didn't bother us in the least. I felt the used in look made our vehicle appear more like a local than a tourist so we could blend in. They offer complimentary shuttle service from OGG (Maui airport) and the bus was waiting for us when we walked up. The driver was super friendly and gave us some travel tips during the drive. I forgot her name but she was great and i had such a welcoming, positive experience. Our rental car did the trick. We drove to Haleakala State Park as well as took the road to Hana and this little car handled everything perfectly! Great gas mileage too. Corky was our driver to OGG when we were returning the car and she was amazing! Actually all the staff we came into contact with were pretty stellar, just friendly people that seemed genuinely happy to help you. Corky offered lots of tips and was a great tour guide. I can't say enough good things about this rental car company. read more

We just got back from Maui a couple of days ago, always great. I do want anyone that is thinking about a vacation there to just go. It was great people are friendly. This two tumbs up review going out to Keke car rentals on Maui. Try them, try them, try them. Great customer service. And way more reasonable than any other of the car rentals. Thanks to Noni and all the other staff. Appreciate your great service read more

Looove this local family owned business. Everyone was super kind and friendly!! Acacia (sp?) and Paulette (sp?) provided us with the shuttle from the airport and back to the airport, respectively. Both drives were great! Felt like home with how welcome they were. Paulette helped us with the car pick up and drop off process/paperwork as well. Both times smooth as butter. Will definitely use them on my next trip back to Maui. Mahalo Kihei Rent-A-Car! read more
