The absolute cheapest way would be to hitchhike - walking being ruled out due to the nature of the highway along the coast.

If this is out of the question then follow the below link

The rate by Speedi Shuttle from the airport to Kaanapali is $41 for one person and $47 for two. No deal there for a single !!

Any other options ?

Check for one-way rental cars. A buddy of mine got there a day before we did and he did a one way rental which was cheaper than taxi or shuttle.

Good idea Jim. Thanks for the hint. I am assuming that a one way rental can't be arranged in advance.

you need a car in maui. if you remain static in Kaanapali you'll miss most of the magic of the island. kaanapali is lovely, with a 4 mile long beach and mountains in the background, but, after a while, that scenery gets monotonous. it's far from the most stirring scenery on the island.

You are absolutely righ x. However I have been to Maui a number of times and I have seen most parts of it over and over. Although I still like to explore and see what is new and visit some of my favorite spots, I now tend to stay put in Kaanapali a lot more than I did on earlier visits. I don't need a car everyday, so I just rent one for three or four days of a two week stay.

Jim Rogers, do you or anyone else know which car rental companies will rent one way from Kahului airport to Kaanapali (without a big drop charge)?

National Car rental will do it on the big island so my guess is that they will also do it on Maui. Phone 1-800-227-3876. Apparently, it also that allowance is determined by what type of car you're renting. Neither Hertz nor Avis would let us one-way rent an SUV.

Thanks Dolciani. Was there an additional drop charge to rent one way?

National said that they do not charge a "drop off fee". Don't forget to use memberships or coupons - you can always get a "cheaper" rate on rental cars.
