Hawaii Cruise, Rental car in Maui

[reitzut]

We are sailing to Hawaii on Spirt next month. I have reserved a rental car with Avis on Maui (in Lahaina) for both days we are there. Does anyone know if there is overnight parking at the peir, or somewhere nearby?

 

Thanks

We had a parking shortage problem also on Maui, as they only had 50 parking spaces, first come first serve (although we docked on the other side....at Kahului).

 

Consider having the rental agency hold the car for you overnight, and use their courtesy driver. We did that with no problem. Asked them to pick us up the next morning.

We cruised on the Spirit from Vancouver to Hawaii last September. We rented a car from Alamo and had no problem with parking. There is free, secured parking with a guard right at the dock. While we were in Maui, there was always plenty of parking available.

 

Have a great time!

Hi Jim,

 

Please check your documents. On our sailing, the Spirit docks in Kahului, not Lahaina (45 minutes away).

 

We have a long thread of folks sailing April 30th from Honolulu. If you are on our cruise, check in with us!

Thanks Folks

We have got it figured out now. Thrifty Rental Car is reserved for two days from Kahului Airport. Will try parking over night by the pier; if that doesn't work we will try leaving it with Thrifty at the airport overnight.

It's a lottery if things haven't changed.

 

An announcement came over the loudspeaker that they were giving out vouchers for the parking spaces....first come first serve. I couldn't have been in the worst possible place, and got to the pursers lobby way too late.

 

Of course, I thought I was the only one smart enough to pre-rent a car......NOT!
