Hertz car hire in Maui
Maui is experienced best when you can move freely between beaches, small towns, and scenic lookouts without having to plan every transfer. Public transport and shuttles work in pockets of the island, but they rarely match the way most visitors actually explore.
With Hertz car hire in Maui, you can choose a vehicle that fits your plan and drive on your own schedule, whether you’re heading out for a sunrise start, a beach-hopping afternoon, or a full-day loop. That flexibility matters on Maui’s roads, too.
The Maui Veterans Highway makes it easy to connect key areas like Kahului and Kihei, while the Hāna Highway is slower and more technical with curves, single-lane bridges, and regular pullouts, so having your own car rental in Maui lets you take it at a comfortable, safe pace.

Driving Guide: Car Rental in Maui
Parking Information
Current listings show only one designated public parking area serving this part of the region, so planning ahead can be helpful.
- Upcountry Farmer’s Market Parking is located at 55 Kiopaa Street, and offers around 240 parking spaces. The lot is open 24 hours, free to use, and has no height restrictions. It also includes disabled-access parking and electric vehicle charging, making it a practical option for drivers in Maui.
Key Roads in Maui
- Hāna Highway (Route 36/360): This is the main road from Kahului on the north side through the east side of the island toward Hāna. It is a long drive with many curves and single-lane bridges, and it connects to smaller roads past Hāna.
- Haleakalā Highway (Route 37): This road starts near Kahului and goes up toward the Haleakalā area. This is the road most people use if they are heading up toward the crater and the park entrance.
- Honoapi‘ilani Highway (Route 30): This route runs from Wailuku down and around the west side toward Lahaina and Kapalua. It is the main way to drive along the west coast of Maui.
Electric Car Hire
Not having your own car in Maui can slow down your plans, especially since buses run infrequently and many attractions are spread out across the island. When travelers think about renting an electric car, charging is often the first concern: islands typically have fewer stations than big mainland cities.
But Maui is changing. More residents are choosing electric vehicles to help protect the island’s natural environment, and the charging network is growing in response.
You’ll now find fast chargers in convenient public locations around Kahului and other popular areas, with additional sites continuing to roll out.
Hertz supports this shift by offering electric car hire in Maui with a wide range of EVs. With a Hertz electric vehicle, you can move at your own pace, plan your stops around familiar charging locations, and explore the island without interrupting your day.
Charging Points
Maui has a growing network of public electric vehicle charging stations, with around 48 charging locations across the island for EV drivers.
There are now multiple DC fast chargers, including federal NEVI-funded stations like the ones at the Kahului Park & Ride, and additional chargers are being planned as EV ownership rises locally. This growth reflects increasing interest in electric vehicles on Maui as a cleaner, low-emission way to travel around the island.
With Hertz electric car hire in Maui, you can choose an EV that fits your trip and use these known charging points, making it easier to explore the island without slowing your plans.
Congestion Charges
Maui does not have congestion charges or toll fees on its roads right now, so you won’t have to pay extra just to drive around the island. Hawaii’s highways and bridges are all toll-free, meaning you only pay for fuel and parking while you explore.
Getting from Kahului Airport (OGG) to the West Maui Mountains (Iao Valley)
In normal traffic, the drive usually takes about 15–20 minutes for the roughly 8-mile trip into the West Maui Mountains area near Iao Valley. Here’s how you can reach it with a car hire through Hertz:
- Exit the airport and follow the signs onto Keolani Place and Dairy Road toward central Kahului.
- Turn onto Kaahumanu Avenue (HI-32) and stay on it as you head into Wailuku.
- Near the town centre, bear right to continue on HI-32 W/Main Street.
- Follow signs for Iao Valley Road and continue until you reach the park area in the West Maui Mountains.
Getting from Kahului Airport (OGG) to Haleakalā National Park
In normal traffic, the drive usually takes about 1 hour and 18 min to reach the Haleakalā National Park, depending on stops and road pace. This route climbs from sea level up toward the park entrance on paved roads.
Here’s how you can navigate it with a Hertz rental car.
- Exit the airport and follow the signs onto Dairy Road (HI-380) toward central Kahului.
- Turn onto Haleakalā Highway (HI-37) and follow it inland toward Upcountry Maui.
- As you reach the rolling hills above Kahului, stay on the signs for Route 377 toward Kula.
- When Route 378 (Crater Road) splits off, follow it up the winding paved path that leads into Haleakalā National Park.
