I just searched rental car prices on Maui for February 2009. Last year, I paid about $25 per day for an economy car. Today, it is $100 per day! Anyone know what caused such an increase?

god i hope that isn't right could it be because of the time of year i was told by a friend to look at hertz at the airport they allways have deals i can understand $100 in new york.

sorry i can't help i am just as lost as you thats why i put up this thread.

Because of the economy, all the rental car agencies have reduced their stock, on all the islands, except maybe Oahu.

And, this has been a particularly popular week - Valentines, President's Day holiday.

I don't think you are going to find any more $25 a day car rentals for a while.

You should check with Costco, if they are a member. Right now, however, people are begging to rent cars for $150 a day, as there are none available at all. None.

I got a good deal on Hotwire and ended up with a RAV4 for $273 for the week thru Hertz but I booked it months ago.

We used Priceline.com last week (used the "name your own price" feature) and booked a mid-size car for 7 days (April 7-14, 2009) at $173 (including all tax/fees).

I always use the following website to rent vehicles while visiting Maui (they handle all islands though). You can reserve and cancel if needed without a problem. They offer the lease expensive rates that I have found:
