Young Driver Special - Age 20 to 24 - $8/Day

For ages 20 to 24, you can book a car on our website with an added fee of just $8/day. Look for the listings that say "Reduced 20-24 age young driver fee $8/day." Not every listing has this wording, but if that wording is there on the listing, it means you can rent that car for the price shown PLUS $8 per calendar day. 

WHY DO I HAVE TO PAY AN EXTRA FEE? 

It's nothing personal, based on large population statistics, drivers in your age group are found to be at higher risk for damage or loss. It's the same reason your auto insurance costs more. 

WHAT IF I HAVE A PERFECT DRIVING RECORD OR A PERFECT GPA? 

These factors may reduce the cost of your auto insurance, but they don't matter when you are renting a car. 

IS THE FEE INCLUDED IN THE PRICE ON THE WEBSITE? 

The $8/day young driver fee is IN ADDITION to the price shown on the website. So for example, for a one week rental, multiply $8 by the number of calendar days, which is 8, and you get 65, plus a 4.5% sales take, about $3, for about $68 dollars as the total young driver fee that you add to the price on the website. 

WHAT MAKES $8/DAY YOUNG DRIVER FEE SUCH A GOOD DEAL? 

It is a good deal when you consider that some companies charge between $20 and $30 a day (or more) for young drivers, and others won't rent to you at all. This makes it a GREAT deal ABSOLUTELY!

WHAT KIND OF CAR CAN I RENT? 

Depending on what's available for your dates of rental, you can rent from a range of vehicles including compact cars to minivans and SUV's. Just look for the listings that say "Reduced 20-24 age young driver fee $8/day." You may be excluded from some luxury or exotic models. 

DO I HAVE TO BUY EXTRA INSURANCE? 

You are not required to buy any extra insurance, and you do not need it if you already have your own coverage on your own auto insurance policy that covers you while you rent a car. Check with your insurance agent. When you pick up your rental car, you'll be asked to accept or decline optional charges including insurance. Be sure to review and understand what you are signing for, because once you sign for it, you are obligated to pay it.

CAN I PAY WITH A DEBIT CARD? 

You'll need a credit card. If the card has the word "Debit" printed on it, it is not a credit card. 

CAN I PAY WITH SOMEONE ELSE'S CREDIT CARD? 

The name on your credit card and your driver license must match. So, it can be someone else's card, as long as your name is on it. 

WHAT ABOUT DRIVERS AGED 18 OR 19? 

As far as we know, no major company in Maui will rent to drivers aged 18 or 19. You can try your luck with local car rental companies, that sometimes have looser rental policies (you can find these by searching for "local maui car rental" in your favorite internet search), or from Turo if you can get approved as a driver in the app, and you find a Turo "host" who rents to 18 and 19 (but we do not recommend dealing with this greedy, exploitative, and predatory tech-bro company), or an under the radar rental on Facebook, craigslist, or TikTok. 

WHAT ARE OPTIONS FOR GETTING AROUND MAUI WITHOUT A RENTAL CAR? 

Uber and public transport to and from and within the major resort areas are not too bad. You can book excursions with tour companies to get further afield l(ike for example Hana or Haleakala Summit). Or, you may be able to rent an e-bike or scooter.
