10 tips to save on your car rental in and around East Maui

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer outings, or an economy car for budget-friendly travel, take advantage of the filters on Expedia to find the ideal match for your trip.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental rates can vary based on demand, so it’s wise to secure your car well ahead of your travel dates. By booking in advance, you’re likely to obtain lower prices and enjoy better availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically more affordable to rent and easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between price, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 years old may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and certain vehicle types—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over 70 years of age. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate on a full-to-full fuel policy, which requires you to return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is usually the most favourable option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid refuelling choices, which are also acceptable; just ensure you return the car with an empty tank in that case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but the added convenience may make it worthwhile.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards for payments.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unnecessary expenses and provides added peace of mind in case something unexpected occurs during your journey. It’s easy to add car rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan on taking long road trips, look for rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.

Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my East Maui car reservation?
You should get a full refund on your booking if you let us know more than six hours prior to the pickup time. Check the policy for all the details. Our Customer Service Portal may have the answers too.
How do I find the best car rental deals in East Maui with Expedia?
Scoring an awesome deal on your East Maui rental car is a breeze with Expedia. Choose your preferred car type, add in a few more details and compare the offers from leading brands. Why not add hotels and flights to your booking? You'll score even more savings when you combine your bookings into a package.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in East Maui?
Anyone with a valid driver's licence 21 and above can rent a car in East Maui. While some outlets may be willing to accommodate drivers younger than 21, expect an extra fee. Find out what age range the young renter fee applies to, and what it costs, before reserving your ride. Providers also restrict the categories of cars young drivers can rent. Higher limits are in place for large vehicles like premium SUVs and luxury models.
What do you need to rent a car in East Maui?
Two things — a valid driver's licence and a credit card in your name. Car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may be asked to provide proof of other coverage if you opt out. We recommend checking with your rental provider to avoid any hassles.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in East Maui?
Yes, so you won't have to rebook a rental vehicle in the middle of your vacation. Head over to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your details and find a set of wheels that's all yours for the duration of your getaway.
Where can I find an East Maui car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some East Maui outlets will rent cars to drivers under 25 years of age, and others won't. Policies differ between suppliers, so you'll want to do your homework. Also, find out if there are any additional costs. Some outlets will pass on a surcharge to young drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. Always check the terms and conditions to avoid any nasty surprises.
