Can anyone tell me if they have shuttle pick ups for car rentals at the port on Maui?

On NCL Spirit in November, we have a car rental pick up at the airport, wondering if anyone has used in the last two months.

If you’re docked in Lahaina the rental agencies were walking distance.

Have you asked the car rental agency from where you rented the car?  That seems like the best place to ask.  We have some Hawaii rentals lined up and the agencies we are using have all that info listed on their websites.

Huh? First, you can't dock in Lahaina, its a tender port, and I don't believe an NCL ship will tender to Lahaina. And, the car rental places are not in walking distance in Lahaina.

 

I would expect a NCL ship to dock at Kahalui. There is (at least used to be, pre-Covid, I think it has opened again) ONE car rental place in walking distance...the others are at the airport, and a pretty healthy 2.5 mile walk, along less than good walking locations, in the Hawaii heat. And we are serious walkers!

Agree. I would be calling the agency involved. Some of these things are still limited post Covid.

Sorry. I was thinking of a Celebrity cruise (about same size) and I guess we did tender at Lahaina. It must have been really smooth. I think it was Enterprise and was a moderate walk up the hill.

In checking the Kahului (Maui) cruise ship schedule, we see your ship will be docking at Kahului and not tendering at Lahaina.  Our main airport (OGG) is about three miles from the dock.  You may also want to check out the Enterprise location almost across the street from the pedestrian entrance to the harbor.  We believe they also have a rental location at the airport.  Neither one is a "moderate walk up the hill", as you will be at sea level.

What you describe sounds more like you tendered into Kona, as there used to be an Enterprise operation a short distance from where you come ashore at Kona.
