Driving in and around Kahului Airport
Kahului Airport is Maui's main gateway and the natural starting point for exploring the island. To hire a car at Maui Airport is to unlock the island properly, as many of Maui's best places are difficult to reach any other way. Highway 380 connects the airport to the island's main road network, with Highway 30 heading west toward the resort areas and Highway 36 heading east toward Hana. Kihei and Wailea to the south are around 20 to 25 minutes away, while the drive west toward Lahaina takes around 45 minutes depending on traffic.
Traffic on the Pali section of Highway 30 heading west can slow significantly during morning and afternoon peak hours. Midday is generally the smoothest time for that route. Parking is available at most beaches, resorts, and attractions across the island, though popular spots fill early. Hawaii law requires seatbelts for all passengers and restricts handheld phone use while driving.
A quick guide to Maui and beyond
Maui rewards those who explore beyond the resort areas. Car hire at Maui Airport gives you the freedom to follow the coastline, climb to volcanic summits, and find beaches that are well off the main tourist trail.
The Road to Hana
The Road to Hana is one of the world's great scenic drives, winding through rainforests, past waterfalls, and over dozens of one-lane bridges. Allow a full day and start early.
Haleakala National Park
Haleakala is a dormant volcano rising to 10,000 feet above sea level. The drive to the summit takes around one to one and a half hours from the airport and offers views that stretch across the island.
West Maui and the Beaches
Car rental at Maui Airport puts the white sand beaches of Kaanapali and Wailea within easy reach. Head west for resort beaches, snorkelling spots, and coastal sunsets.
Make the most of your time here with car hire at Maui Airport from Hertz.
