Maui Car Rental: Chrysler Recall Drives Up Prices of Minivans and SUV's

July 27, 2025. Minivan rentals are limited due to a safety recall, causing prices to skyrocket up to $4,000/week. SUV's are the next best thing for families and groups - they are in high demand, with prices more than double the 52-week median. Despite these shifts, Maui still offers the lowest weekly rental rates among the major Hawaiian islands. Seasonal price dips are happening across most car categories, and this week’s hottest deal is a convertible at just $354/week with taxes and fees included, right at Kahului Airport (OGG).
