    Hopefully the worst rental car experience of my life. They charge you extra for dropping off the car at the airport/them doing it for your arrival, terrible customer service, and semi ruined my engagement trip out to Maui. Got up to our hotel valet, and they said they wouldn't accept the car because there was too much damage all around the car....so I had to park and pull it myself. Granted I used to be a valet, but I went to college and double majored just so I wouldn't ever have to do that again....let alone on my "engagement-moon". Furthermore, they left it with less than 100 miles until empty, tire pressure light, and check engine light on. Oh and it rumbles if you ever exceed 50 mph....which is totally cool if you want to explode in a fiery inferno due to the poor maintenance. Upset, I called and never got a response until the 4th day of our trip which was coincidentally our last day. All in all, I paid nearly 300 bucks for a piece of garbage car that: 1) embarrassed me 2) made me cancel our road to hana trip Lesson learned....cant imagine enterprise/avis/Hertz could be anymore expensive for 3 days or them giving me a crappier car.

    We had an amazing experience with Manaloha! The car is dropped off right at the airport parking lot for you so you save a ton of time. It was clean, functional, and a smooth ride. We had a 2004 Lexus that we drove A LOT without any issues at all. Plus, the prices are UNBEATABLE. I would recommend this company to anyone that is looking to save money and time while visiting Maui.

    We had an awesome experience with this company. And we would definitely recommend this company to anyone in Maui. The car rental was the cheapest here and it's located close to the airport. We had an issue with the car, we went back and they checked it out and stated if it's any major issue they will switch out the van. And the car tires light came on and we had to refill the air at the Costco tires. That was not convenient but it didn't ruin our vacation. But the Costco employees were very nice and helped us. Otherwise it's a perfect place to rent the cars. And the employees at this rental place here were very friendly and assisted us without any hassle. For the car pick up, they parked the car at the airport parking area and gave us instructions how to retrieve the keys, where it will be parked and etc. It was easy steps and we didn't have an problem.

    Looks bad, runs great! Had air, and plenty of room! Saved us $100's of dollars! Sergio and the crew are awesome!

    Do you know what you don't need in Maui? A brand new overpriced rental car. For the same price as a tiny compact from one of the larger airport rental companies, I rented a 2008 Toyota Highlander. Was it shiny and new? No. But it worked perfectly, we blended in with the locals, and it was sooooo nice to have so much space in the vehicle. It drove perfectly too. We went EVERYWHERE on the island in this beauty; Hana, up Haleakala, and other remote parts of the island. The support from the rental company was also spot on. They were quick to communicate with and very accommodating. They even brought the car right to the airport when I called them from the plane after landing when I realized I had forgotten to confirm my rental two days before (don't forget to do this!) In short: this is the best company to rent from, you won't regret it! But don't wait to the last minute, they were very booked up and in high demand.

    Claptrap, my 2004 Ford Escort wagon that got 26.6 mpg

    If you want a perfect car, rent from the name brand folks at the airport. Unfair to rent here and expect a name-brand car rental experience with brand new rental cars. Renting here saved me $300 this trip. I rented "Claptrap" for $20/day plus tax. For the days I was on Maui this was the best rate by far and I checked every single car rental place. Claptrap is a white 2004 Ford Escort station wagon with 164k miles and those are island miles, baby. First 424 miles = 26.6 miles per gallon. Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty good. Grindy, noisy brakes: so I anticipated and braked lighter when I could. First 2 transmission shifts when cold were impressively rough: the car jumped, a bit unnerving. Then it warmed up. Worst stereo. I've rented on Maui 10x. First time from Manaloha. In January, am renting from Manaloha again.

    Good sized dent in the door!

    Aloha Makoa, Thanks…read moreonce again for renting a car to me. We had a wonderful time in Maui--in no small mesure because of your Honda Civic sedan, which took us to lots of places economically and reliably. Next time we come back to Maui, we will definitely rent a car from Makoa again. Warm regards, Carolyn Riding

    I'll never rent from the big car rental companies again…read more From the moment I made the reservation, Sandie was incredibly communicative and responsive to all of my questions, both before and after booking. Since I was traveling solo with a 3- and 6-year-old, I really wanted the pickup experience to be as painless as possible, and Makoa delivered exactly that. On the day of arrival, I received a link with clear instructions. I literally walked out of baggage claim, crossed the street, followed the signs and map, and BOOM! -- the car was right there waiting for us. The car I received was exactly what I booked. The AC was strong, and the tank was full. The map was very easy to use. It was oriented correctly, so you can simply hold your phone upright, walk in the direction shown, and find everything clearly marked. One tip: remember to look UP for the letters marking each parking row. A couple of helpful tips for future renters: - Before returning the car, go to Safeway Fuel if you want to avoid battling the long lines at Costco gas. It's also a straight shot to the airport from there. - When returning to the airport, use "OGG long term / short term parking" in Google Maps. Do not follow the "rental car return" road signs, because those lead to the big rental car companies instead. The return process was also very easy. You just upload a photo of where the car is parked and where you placed the parking ticket, and you're done. I would absolutely use Makoa again the next time we're in Maui.

    I almost never have good experiences with car rentals, but this was a very good textbook experience…read morewith Budget. Upon arrival at Kahului and retrieving our baggage, we rode the tram to the rental garage. There was no wait at the rental counter and the agent said my car was ready upstairs. I checked the Fastbreak board, grabbed my paperwork, loaded up and we hit the road! You know when you reserve your car, the picture shows a "similar" sized class of car to what you actually get? This is the first time ever that I got the exact car that was in the picture, down to the color! The Candy Red 2025 Mazda CX-90 is a nice vehicle with seating for 7, but I had to fold down the 3rd row, so that I could fit in all our luggage like a Tetris game. Upon our return, I just pulled up to the car return lane, the agent checked me in and I just took the tram back to the terminal. EZ PZ!

    I booked a "Staff Selection" rental for the week, thinking I'd get whatever car they had available…read more Instead, we were handed a Tesla Model 3. Normally that might sound great, but we had never driven a Tesla before and nobody at Budget bothered to explain anything. I have Fastbreak, so basically they just told us to go find the car. Our receipt was sitting on a board and that was pretty much the entire interaction. No explanation of how the car worked, how to charge it, or anything else. We ended up having to Google things constantly just to figure out how to operate the car. I eventually found a Budget employee and asked about charging. He asked where we were staying, and when I told him the Hilton, he said, "Oh yeah, they have chargers." Great! Except when we got to the other side of the island, we discovered there was no charging adapter in the car, so we couldn't use the chargers at our Hilton property. Because charging elsewhere takes forever, we ended up having to use Tesla Superchargers four different times just to make sure we had enough charge for the road trips we had planned. That added a lot of unnecessary hassle to our vacation. If I had known beforehand that I was going to be given a Tesla with no adapter and absolutely no instruction on how to use it, I would never have rented this car. And the car itself wasn't exactly impressive. It was extremely dirty, had huge gaps between some of the body panels, and the seats were incredibly uncomfortable. My back hurt pretty much the entire time we had it. The biggest problem, though, was the lack of help from Budget. Every time we tried to get assistance, it felt like we were being brushed off. I don't blame the Tesla itself for everything--I blame Budget for handing us a car we had never driven before without explaining anything, providing no charging adapter, and then essentially leaving us to figure it all out ourselves. For a week-long vacation rental, this was way more hassle than it was worth. If you're booking a Staff Selection car at OGG, be prepared for the possibility of getting a Tesla and being completely on your own.

You get your pick of companies (Enterprise!) and vast auto selection that were quite reasonable. I nervously booked two weeks prior to leaving for Maui (OGG Kahului). But it turned out to be easy peasy once I landed. 1. Take a few free magazines and maps from the airport kiosks - they're helpful and has discounts too. 2. Take the tram across the street from baggage claim to the centralized rental car hub. 3. Shocked as there was no line as I approached the Enterprise customer service desk! Very personable individual who went through my contract and options. I declined additional insurance coverage, because my policy back home had me covered. I did opt for the prepaid gas (back on 8/26/25 it was $4/gallon). The new compact I had was so economical, I only spent an additional $30 before returning it on 9/2/25 slightly above E. Just make the best decision for your holiday needs. Note: Heed the warnings about driving in appropriate areas while on the island. I did not take my new compact off roading on unpaved, rugged routes! 4. I went to the second floor where I was greeted by another Enterprise person who pointed out the cars I was able to select from. Loaded the luggage into the trunk, took a 360 degree photo of the vehicle & license plate just in case, and familiarized myself with the car features. 5. Drove to the checkout gate where another airport person (who had just returned from my home state visiting family) finished off the car rental process and off on my merry way. 6. Returning to the airport, give yourself ample time to deal with OGG logistics. I followed the signage for car rental return. I drove to the appointed drop off area, got the vehicle checked back in without any issues, rode the tram back to the terminal, cleared the TSA and US agricultural checkpoints, and received my Enterprise receipt by email by the time I was at my departure gate/waiting area. Super customer service across the board from the OGG/Kahului Enterprise staff on 8/26/25 and 9/2/25. Sometimes one has to break from the usual and get pleasantly surprised. Aloha and mahalo!

A reservation should mean something, and customers should not be pressured into paying more due to poor inventory management. Very frustrating experience, and I hope Hertz improves how they handle reservations and customer service at this location.
