Kahului Auto Rentals - Car Rental Near Me - Kahului, Hawaii

This place is the definition of "you get what you paid for." Rented twice here got two different cars. Each time, the car is year 2012 or older, worn-out, over 100k mileage, and NO spare tires. Is that not a safety hazard to let customers drive out of the lot with no spare tires? This place is affordable, but it is NOT reliable and safe. If you need a car for just a day will do. I won't rent it for work or vacation. If they skipped out of just putting a spare tire, imagine what else they are cutting out of. Who knows how regularly they do routine maintenance and inspection . read more

If you're wanting to deal with an honest group of people who are embedded in the Maui community; these are the people you want to work with. They have taken care of me since I moved here. They don't rent out a bunch of shiny new cars like the big rental companies. If you are worried about how you are perceived by others, spend the extra money to impress other people who don't give a rat's behind about you. These guys will do their best to take care of you. sometimes things happen; they will do the best possible to take care of you. I wouldn't be here after five years were it not for their help. If you try to scam them; they are wise to it, and will refuse your business. They are honest people. Because of them I have Lived Deliciously. Thanks Guys read more

Worst experience ever. Save yourself the grief and do not rent from these guys. Cars are absolute garbage and NOT SAFE to drive. Rented a decent car, a Toyota Camry and received a Hyundai Azera instead with 118k miles on it. Dents all over it, terrible tires, completely shot shocks, questionable brakes. We were afraid to drive anywhere in the POS car. Reached out to discuss the issue with them to no avail. No reply. Use a taxi, uber, anything other than these guys. Pics don't do it justice. Looks bad, drives even worse. read more

We were glad to get a reservation (as of 5/3 they were booked through mid-July). We had 3 reservations canceled by Turo when people learned they could charge a lot more due to the car rental shortage. I was able to book a Prius (eww) through Turo for $500 more but quickly canceled when I got confirmation that Kahului Auto Rentals had a car (small SUV) for us. We were picked up at the airport which was great. We ended up receiving a 2012 Nissan Rogue (perfect for blending in as a "local"). There was black tape over the service indicator lights and also a warning that the car was due for service, but we only had a couple issues with the car. The driver side seatbelt came off which I screwed back in, our car charger would not charge when plugged in, and the rear hatch took multiple tries to stay closed. Other than that, the car drove well during our 8-day trip. The brakes were good and it had a nice set of Pirellis to keep the car glued to the road. It survived Road to Hana 3 times, Haleakala, Kahekili highway, and the tourists would let this "local" pass. It came with 3/4 of a tank of gas, and we returned it that way though the paperwork did not seem to require it. We were even allowed to leave the car at the airport for them to pick up later. Overall, we got the best bang for the buck that we could. At $600 for 8 days we definitely got a great deal. read more

My daughter and I recently rented a vehicle from Yaro . We had some issues at the airport due to covid .Yaro was understanding and accommodated us. The vehicle was a maui ride and got us where we wanted to be.I liked that he is a local business and close to airport. His service guy was friendly and very helpful. We live in Hilo and have family on Maui ,we'll definitely call Yaro first on our next visit. Mahalo read more

I had a great experience, cheapest rentals on the island. The cars are better than rent a junk, I think "deathtrap" is harsh. Its $25. You get what you paid for. They're used cars but not all rusty with strange noises. Heads up you'll get car with a quarter tank so put gas immediately. Location is a gravel lot between Home Depot and Zippy They're used cars with a mechanic on property. Yaro, the owner is very kind as well as his mechanic. You have to get past they're way of speaking. It's kind of rough and your given the impression that they're mad sometimes. I find the same with Asians. And I'm just a satisfied customer not a relative. read more

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY NO MATTER WHAT! SERIOUSLY!!! We rented a car from them for a competitve rental rate, in order to support local business. Upon arrival we were given an HYUNDAI SONATA 2010 with 143K miles, dashboard cracked in it's entirety, severly worn interior, scratches, dents, and LESS THAN 1/4 tank of gas. We contacted company to no avail. Then after a few miles of driving, the battery light keep coming on and off. We notified the company and they said return it the next day, but there would be no exchanges for another car. The company said a mechanic had just looked at this car and the previous renter had no complaints. After four hours of renting, driving on the freeway, the car died in the pitch black dark, all of the electrical went out. THERE WERE NO EXTERIOR LIGHTS! We had no choice but to pull over to the side of the freeway in the middle of nowhere and turn the engine off. Then we called the company to no avail. After ten minutes, we started the car again, and went a few miles before it died again. Someone from the company called us back and asked where we were. We then coasted down a hill and pulled over to the side of the road. HOW DANGEROUS! We waited for someone from the company to come and happily gave them our keys! They gave us a full refund, which in our opinion was paltry compensation for the experience. The next day, we were thrilled to rent a new car from a national provider for $10 less a day. read more

I almost don't want to talk about how great this place is because I don't want to have to struggle getting a reservation in the future. This place definitely did not disappoint! First off, it was very affordable and the employees were responsive, kind, and generous. You don't get the newest cars on the market, but I prefer to drive slightly older cars because to me, they're more comfortable to drive in than new cars. We were given an SUV which was great because we were expecting just a full size car. It was the perfect car for our trip! This is now my go to spot for rental cars! read more

Keep your own records straight when you travel folks! We kept in contact with the owner the whole time to make sure everything checked out. Car was a nissan sentra and got us all around the island. We got pick up and drop off service. Cheap too compared to the rest of the rentals. read more

Don't even know where to begin. First off I'll start by saying I knew I wasn't going to be getting a luxury rental here - that it was going to be older and more run down; however -it's a rental car company. All cars should be safe and should drive The first car I got - a Nissan Altima, headlights were so fogged over they were basically non-existent. I had to rely on other people's lights or the brights when I could. I picked up at night after hours so was stuck with for the night. I messaged him the next day and he told me to come swap it out The next car seemed okay at first, though still old and beat up. But on the second day after spending the day sight seeing we tried to go back home and the car wouldn't start. Note - I flipped the headlight stick around to double check that and make sure it wasn't on but in fact we hadn't driven at night so we didn't use them. I called him and he came and brought me a new car This was another Nissan. He brought it during the day and again seems okay. Come night time and...guess what! Same issue as the first car. I actually had to make sure and check the license plate to make sure it wasn't the same exact one. Since that was going to be the last time I should be driving at night I just dealt with it that night. The next day we got up (it had rained the night before) and the floor boards were wet. The windows were all closed. So there's some kind of leak somewhere. Just decided to deal with it. Wouldn't hopefully affect anything. Went out sightseeing again and got in to start car and it wouldn't recognize the key fob!!! It took about 2 hours and waking away, Messi g with the battery and re-entering the car and for some reason it decided to work again when I had him on the phone for the second time. We dropped off the car at the airport and I inquired about a refund because frankly the whole thing was ridiculous and wasted valuable vacation time and was just unsafe. He told me he's not responsible for the headlights and to contact Nissan!?!?! No sir! You own the car and are the one renting it out. YOU are responsible for its upkeep and safety Worst experience ever read more

I do not recommend this company. Spend the extra money and rent elsewhere. Our car was a 2004 Toyota Sienna. I don't mind an older model, but the vehicles we received were not in drivable condition. We had problems that were not resolved to our satisfaction and there was terrible customer service. The low tire pressure light was on when we got the van and two days later one tire was completely flat (with a nail in it). One seat belt was missing and another one was broken. The panic alarm would go off and we could not start the van until we got out of the car and locked and unlocked the door with the key, which reset the car computer. On the third day, the panic alarm stayed on and we could not get it to stop. We were able to exchange vehicles, but we're given an even older Dodge van, which also had a broken seat belt. We were told our first van would be brought to us 2 days later, but there was another flat as it was being driven to us so we ended up with the older Dodge for the rest of the week. Also both vehicles had key fobs that did not work properly. When we requested compensation we were offered $15 for our time and trouble but nothing for the $53 we had paid to fill the first van with gas. read more

The staff was friendly and responded quickly to communications, but they had difficulty keeping the details of our rental agreement straight. Our initial car had several service light issues, and the gas tank was empty when we received it. When we returned several days later they exchanged our vehicle for one which met our needs, and reimbursed us for the gas we had put in the car. The new vehicle was also on empty, which they explained was their policy, so be prepared to go to the gas station first thing. These vehicles have been well loved, but were a fair deal for the price. read more

Beware! Our reservation was canceled 3 days before our trip because they no longer wanted to accommodate our reservation. Their correspondence was unprofessional and rude. My husband received a text--(thankfully we saw it!) and it didn't even say who it was from. There are other wonderful companies that we will use from now on! read more
