If you are wondering what is the best way to see Maui, car rentals are definitely the option to look into. Here's why.
It is true that a public bus service is now available in Maui. Unfortunately, the bus service is available from Monday to Friday only, and is unavailable during the weekends. Also, these buses ply at certain times and visitors who hope to make use of buses will need to adjust their travel according to the timings of the bus. However, if you do intend to stay at Maui for a while and like the idea of sunbathing or spending your time in the hotel, or if you are about to enjoy a long stay, you could make use of the public transportation system, which is by far the most inexpensive travel option.
Many people like to try their hands at exotic vehicles like mopeds and bikes. However, these vehicles are not allowed at all the places in Maui. Therefore, you might find yourself seriously crippled if you are using one of these.
Other means of public transport are few and far between, including taxis and shuttles. Taxis are not really viable because fares are quite high.
Renting a car is the best way to see and enjoy the beauty of Maui. Auto rental is a thriving business in Maui. Therefore, you will find that all the major rental companies have a finger in the pie. Thanks to the competitiveness between companies, the auto rental prices are quite affordable. In fact, they are the lowest in the world!
Before you choose one of the auto rentals at Maui, it is important to shop around for the best prices. Maui has well over two dozen car rental agencies. Different agencies offer different prices. Some of them have attractive offers too. For instance, some agencies offer great discounts if you rent their vehicle for long periods like 5-10 days.
Many people mistakenly believe that Maui may be explored in SUVs only. Actually, unless you have a weakness for jeeps or heavy vehicles, there is no reason to opt for a heavy vehicle. The roads in Maui are exceptionally well kept (after all, the place thrives on tourism). So, you really do not need a jeep. Only some places, like the rough roads on West Maui require hardy vehicles. Otherwise, such vehicles could prove to be a pain. Lesson to be learnt - choose your vehicle with care.
The best way to choose the best of Kaui auto rentals is to go online. Browse through the rates and vehicles offered by different agencies and choose one that suits your requirements.
You may be able to avail of better discounts by booking your car well in advance. Seasonal discounts can really make a difference particularly if you are going there during the lean season.
