Maui Car Rental Prices Fall to Low Season Levels For August 2024

August 11, 2024 - This week the cheapest price for a car rental from Maui's Kahului Airport (OGG) is $275.18 (down $70 from last week). For a rental from nearby off-airport locations served by shuttle, the cheapest price is $197.46 (down $6). These prices include all taxes and fees, but they do not include insurance or any other optional services like roadside assistance or re-fueling.

This week, prices have fallen below the median prices from January through July of 2024, which were $292/week for an airport rental, and $209 off-airport. This is an indication that rates are settling in to a low season or shoulder season mode, which is typical for this time of year.

These rates are for the lowest advertised price on an economy or compact vehicle. We also track the price for various other vehicle categories (mid-size, SUV, Jeep, convertible, minivan) that cost more - you can find these below.

These rates are from our weekly survey of car rental prices for a one-week rental. Every Sunday, we check prices for a one-week rental beginning the following day, Monday. The companies included in the survey are Ace, Alamo, Avis, Budget, Dollar, Enterprise, Fox, Hertz, National, NU, Payless, SiXT, and Thrifty. See our blog post on customer satisfaction ratings for these Maui car rental companies .

The lowest advertised rate week by week for the entire last year is shown in the accompanying chart.

MAUI CAR RENTAL PRICE SURVEY BY VEHICLE CATEGORY FOR 8/11/24

Below, we present the tabulated results of the lowest advertised price, based on our survey conducted on 8/11/24, for a one-week rental from Maui's Kahului Airport (OGG), beginning on Monday, 8/12/24, for seven vehicle categories, Economy Car, Midsize Car, Convertible, Jeep, SUV, 7-passenger SUV, and Minivan. The companies covered in this survey are the same listed above.

For each vehicle category, we list the lowest price for both airport rentals and off-airport rentals, with the name of the company offering that price. The numbers are illustrated in the price chart that accompanies this post.

Usually, more than 90% of the time, this last-minute price is the lowest available price for the rental, lower than a price booked in advance. See our research on When is The Best Time to Book a Car in Maui.

Interesting Notes:

  1. This week, Ace Rentacar takes a clean sweep of the cheapest price across all vehicle categories for an off-airport rental.
  2. In a repeat of last week, SUV rentals remain a screaming good deal. Both the airport price ($337/week, from Payless) and off-airport price ($229/week, from ACE) are at low levels compared to the first seven months of 2024.
  3. Another screaming good deal is an off-airport minivan, just $336/week, from ACE. That's nearly $120 less than the airport price for a minivan, and both the airport rate and off-airport rate are lower than they were last week. Prices for minivans have come back to earth after being sky-high for several weeks. Just three weeks ago, for the week beginning Monday July 22, the price for a one-week rental on a minivan was over $1,000/week.

Category Off-airport Company Airport Company

Economy $197.46 Ace $275.18 Payless

Midsize $279.27 Ace $356.86 SiXT

Jeep $484.24 Ace $507.40 Avis

Convertible - $469.83 Budget

SUV $288.61 Ace $337.48 Payless

7 Seat SUV - $424.97 Budget

Minivan $336.83 Ace $451.69 Payless
