Maui Car Rentals at Maui Cruisers Cheap Local Used Car Rental Service Reviews

As an experienced Maui resident, I’ve seen countless visitors arrive on our island paradise, eager to explore its natural wonders and immerse themselves in the aloha spirit. One key aspect of planning a memorable vacation in Maui is securing a reliable car rental service. With a plethora of options available, it can be overwhelming to choose the right company for your transportation needs. However, I can’t stress enough how crucial it is to check the reviews of a Maui car rental company before making your decision. In this article, I’ll shed light on why reviews are essential and how they can be a valuable resource for your island adventure.

Authentic Feedback from Real Customers:

Reviews offer authentic feedback from real customers who have experienced the car rental service firsthand. These insights go beyond marketing claims and provide a genuine reflection of the company’s performance, customer service, and overall satisfaction. Hearing from fellow travelers who have treaded the same path can help you make an informed decision about which car rental company aligns best with your needs and expectations.

Gauge Reliability and Trustworthiness:

When you’re on vacation, the last thing you want is to face car rental mishaps that could disrupt your plans and dampen your mood. Checking reviews allows you to gauge the reliability and trustworthiness of a car rental company. Positive reviews from satisfied customers who had smooth rental experiences can instill confidence in the company’s ability to deliver on its promises.

Learn About Hidden Fees and Extra Charges:

Some car rental companies may have hidden fees and extra charges that are not evident during the booking process. By reading reviews, you can uncover any potential surprises and be aware of additional costs that might be associated with certain companies. Transparency is key when it comes to rental agreements, and reviews can help you avoid unpleasant financial surprises.

Evaluate Customer Service:

Customer service plays a significant role in any travel experience. Reviews offer valuable insights into how a car rental company handles customer inquiries, concerns, and complaints. A company that prioritizes excellent customer service is more likely to address any issues promptly and ensure your vacation goes smoothly.

Uncover Insights About Vehicle Quality:

The condition of the rental vehicle can greatly impact your overall experience. Reviews often contain feedback about the quality and maintenance of the cars provided by the company. Learning about the condition of the vehicles can help you avoid potential inconveniences and ensure you rent a car that meets your expectations.

Identify Local Expertise:

Maui is a unique destination with specific driving challenges, such as narrow roads and winding highways. Choosing a car rental company with local expertise can make a significant difference in your ability to navigate the island safely and efficiently. Reviews can reveal which companies have a deep understanding of Maui’s roadways and can provide helpful tips for exploring the island.

Choosing Wisely:

Experience is a golden value, and the importance of making informed decisions when planning a vacation is vital to its success. Checking the reviews of a Maui car rental company is an invaluable step in ensuring a smooth and memorable experience on the island. By tapping into the authentic experiences of other travelers, you can find a reliable car rental service that aligns with your needs, offers transparent pricing, and provides exceptional customer service. So, before you hit the road to explore Maui’s breathtaking landscapes, take the time to read reviews and choose wisely. Happy travels, and aloha!

  Renting a car from Paul at Maui Cruisers was one of the best decisions we made on our Maui trip. Pickup and drop-off at the airport was easy and flawless. Yes, the cars are a little older than what you will find at the national car rental places, but the car was spotlessly clean and in perfect condition with ice cold a/c. And this is why we paid far less than HALF of what we were quoted at the other rental car places. The Toyota Camry we rented was everything we needed to get around the island comfortably and reliably. I will only use Maui Cruisers on future Maui trips and I can’t recommend them highly enough!

  BEST DECISION, hands down! I only leave reviews when things are really, really bad or really, really good. And going with Paul was GREAT! I read through a lot of reviews, and the reviews for maui cruisers had the same theme and after the trip, everything I read was true! The process is SEAMLESS. I didnt have any mix ups, I didnt have to stand in a customer service line or be on hold. All i did was fill out my info on the site and got an email from Paul pretty quickly. Once I provided the info, he called me and the entire conversation was effortless and we talked like we already knew each other.
Easy pick up/drop off. The car was not the fanciest but was RELIABLE which was my biggest priority. Plus you can't go wrong with Toyota! Even after pick up, I was able to check in with Paul and asked about recommendations and he was super kind and gave me info about snorkeling/road to hana. Great guy! I cant wait to go back and will definitely book with Paul again!
Paul - thank you again for everything! See ya next time!

  Paul at Maui Cruisers was really nice and easy to deal with. He was very detailed on how to find the rental car and what to do when we dropped it off! The car we got was an older but absolutely perfect little Toyota corolla that was great on gas and has ice cold AC. We will definitely be calling maui cruisers next year! Thanks again Paul.
Mahalo,
Trenton

  This was the easiest car rental experience we've ever had. Nice clean Toyota Camry. The car was ready and waiting for us when we got to the airport. No catching a shuttle or waiting in line! It was in the lot outside of baggage claim. Paul is a great guy who provides excellent customer service and I will be recommending him to all my friends who visit Maui. I will only rent from him in the future.

  From the moment I first talked to Paul on the phone, I knew that we were speaking the same language: honesty, humor and a passion for Toyotas, which are without question the world's most reliable cars! There are four main reasons why this is THE place to rent from (and why we'll rent from him again on our return trips):
1. Price. Its no secret that the "national" rental car companies sold and shipped a ton of cars off the island during Covid, and with the resulting rental car shortage, prices are through the roof. I did a comparison, and our car from Maui Cruisers was about 1/3 the price of renting a subcompact from Enterprise. That means more money in your pocket to spend on other things. Let me put it this way, for the same price as getting an Enterprise rental, my wife and I got the car, a couples massage, and dinner at Merriman's, with money left over to put towards a Molokini snorkeling tour. How can you beat that?
2. Convenience. While everyone else waits for a shuttle to take them to "rental car hell" where they'll wait in more lines, we walked straight out to the parking lot and had left the airport in under 5 minutes. Dropping off the car was equally easy. Unless you're someone that enjoys standing in lines, this is a huge benefit!
3. Local Vibe. Paul's cars may have some scrapes or dings... maybe even a touch of rust, but they definitely blend in with the island traffic. I threw a shell necklace up on the rear-view for a little added "aloha" and off we went! Driving on Maui, it's immediately clear who the tourists are, especially all the brand new Wranglers and convertible Mustangs. In our 2004 Camry, I didn't feel like I was being judged by the locals, which is really nice if you're a surfer like me or are planning to go to the less touristy spots. I can't understate the benefit of cruising around incognito.
4. Reliability. Renting out nothing but old Toyotas is a smart business move, because they basically NEVER break. We drove our Camry around the entire island, literally, and it never missed a beat, while giving us very good gas mileage. Yes... we took it "counterclockwise" to Hana (starting from Kula), chuckling at the folks in Jeeps. Also drove clockwise along the northern side from Lahaina to Kahului which gets extremely narrow. We just made sure to use our low gears ("2" and "L") on any steep or super twisty sections and had no issues. I believe most of Paul's cars now have a full size spare tire, which is comforting should you ever get a flat.
Bottom line, renting from Maui Cruisers was a win-win all the way around and in a way, it even made our trip more fun! Looking forward to next time. Side note: I had a good laugh pulling up to the valet guy at Merriman's and telling him "Careful, don't scratch it!" LOL

  At a time when rental cars cost a fortune, Paul at Maui Cruisers set us up with a Toyota Corolla at a phenomenal price - we'll definitely use them again.

  This is Gayle posting!  Thank you Paul, for making our car rental feel like we were borrowing it from a friend. We rented an older Camry for 9 days for a fantastic price. The car ran great, was super good on gas mileage, had a constantly cold air-conditioner and didn’t look as old as it was!  It really was a great experience.  The price was half of what the bigger companies charge but 1 1/2 times the service.  Mahalo Paul.  You will definitely be our first call next time we head your way!  Aloha!  Michael and Gayle from St. Louis!
