Mon Dec 01, 14 9:51 am Maui car rental |
|

Just got back from 9 days in Kehei with family of 5. I needed a minivan or larger car for surfboards and kites but national car rental companies wanted $1000 for minivans or SUVs. I've used several local companies before, some who cater to windsurfers, but often the cars are beaters and guzzle gas.
This time I went with Sergio at Manaloharentacar.net. I got a 2005 Honda Odessey for $300 and I picked up and dropped off at the short term parking directly across from baggage claim. This probably saved an hour on each end. The car was in good shape for its age with power everything and I didn't stick out like a tourist at Kanaha in a white ford fusion.
Kanaha was a bit light this week with 11-12m but I had 4 7m days at Kehei in super-gusty wind 20-42mph. |

Good post. I'm headed to Maui in January, and I just booked a minivan with Sergio. THX. |

11 - 5:00. best from 12 - 3.
there's no wave kiting at kehei - it's open ocean chop.
the wind can be slightly offshore.... |

Over Thanksgiving? Even some of the local companies quoted me $600. All of the national companies were over $900 even on Priceline. |
