My wife is interested in getting a Jeep for our trip to Maui in late January. I was thinking about a convertable, any recommendations? We probably won't be taking the trip to Hana.

I would not know why she would want or need a Jeep. Rent a comforatable car and convertables are easy to come by and nice considering the weather there. I would not want a jeep to drive to Hana either.

Definitely a convertible.

I was there in October and rented a convertible; it was great. We even did part of the road to Hana; no problems.

I agree with Louis, go for the convertible. Jeeps look cool, that's it. It's like riding on the floor of a pickup truck.

Rick,
We had a Jeep on Kauai last year and a convertible on Oahu. Even though I am partial to Jeeps, I would go for the convertible. The soft top on the Jeep was much more difficult to put up and down, or I guess I should say take on and off, on the Jeep. We got pretty good at it, but it still took 3 of us probably 5 minutes to get everything snapped back into place on the Jeep. There is also no room for luggage except in the back seat of the Jeep.

You may want to check out National's website for convertibles on Maui, there used to be a glitch and they would price out cheaper than a compact car. I think it only worked on Maui.
