Maui Car Rentals & No Ka Oi Motors

Loved these guys so much that I featured the in my travel blog:

As the name suggests, No Ka Oi means number one, I’ve been renting from them for over 25 years and they are the best. If you’re tired of the over inflated prices and the «extra» charges of the «other» car rental companies on Maui then ya gotta give No Ka Oi Moters a call, thanks to them I had one of the best vacations ever, in a convertible mustang, come on now, you gotta see the Islands with the top down and the wind blowin in your hair, ask for Rick, and tell ‘em Crowbar sent ya!

We rented an older Mustang convertible. The car was questionable, but it got us around the island fine for almost a week. Plus, we didn’t pay a whole lot for it. So I was happy overall. The staff was pretty friendly, too.

Check-​in took about five minutes they pick this up and with the soft to pick up our slightly tired but still enchanting Mustang. Our son and his family who traveled all the way from Alaska however went to advantage Rent-​A-​Car and it took them three hours to get their car. Our return was even easier the owner jumped in and off we went. couldn’t of been simpler and the price was awesome for the slightly tired but still enchanting Mustang convertible we paid $ 300 for 10 days!

We’ve been renting from them for a decade. Terrific service. In ten years, there are glitches and they are always handled with class. The GM, whose name I don’t want to misspell, is fantastic and always has been. Highly recommend.

Just moved to Maui and needed to buy a car. Bought one from Kathy at No Ka Oi Motors. Could not have been happier with the service and price. We took the car in to a private mechanic to give it a good look-​over. It needed some work done. When we told Kathy, they were willing to pay for some, and for the rest, they ordered all the parts at their price (huge savings) and then made an appt. with a mechanic. Plus they took the car in for us to have the work done. Great service, great people to work with. Would recommend highly!

These guys are the best! They pick you up at the airport and then drop you off again. No long waits at the car rental counter. Also, our cars air went out mid trip… they drive out with a new rental, and took that day off our bill. Highly recommend.

We had a 2009 Mustang. It had seen better days but this car got us everywhere without any issues. everyone at No Ka Oi Motors was wonderful and very helpful.
I finally met Rick who was great and very friendly. For the price we will always rent from NoKa Oi Motors. Picked to car up at the airport and signed the contract and we were off for 7 days.
How easy can that be.
We will always rent from No Ka Oi Motors knowing how good they are.

This is the best car rental place ever. Super Friendly and a Great value. Thanks Patty for the good service. We will definitely be back next time we’re on Maui.

Well, this is my last review for Rick and the gang. We finally brought a vehicle to Maui, and NoKaOi saved us once again when it was shipped to the wrong island and we had to extend our rental. Problem was, they were sold out and the car was spoken for, but we returned it and traded for another car they found for us. BIG SAVE. Mahalo once again friends.

We just got back from Maui and used Maui Car Rental for at least the 3^rd time. Their staff is wonderful to work for and very accommodating! We love having the car at the airport parking lot waiting for us each time. So easy and quick. They have a very good selection of cars; although, we always get one of their older toyotas, which works just fine for us! It’s nice to support a local family rather than a big company rental car business!

My mom, sister, and I rented the mustang convirtable on 5÷4÷15 — 5÷12÷15.
Everything about the process was a breaz. No deposit and the best part was Debit cards are accepted! A lot of car rental companies need an actual «credit card»… but as long as you have a debit card with the visa/​mastercard on it youre good.
As for the car, used but nice. It got us around and was a true champ on our excursion to Hana. Took it up come narrow cliffs and windy roads with absolutely no issues. If you can get past the «used» aspect I’d say go for it. This made our Maui vacation a whole lot better. So car did run alittle hot but I added water and it was fine.
Mustang was gray and even had a CD player with both a USB connection AND IPOD jack.
AS for the staff. One word: GREAT! Very helpful and easy to deal with. Rick was da bomb. Looks just like his group picture on the website. LOL
Free pickup and drop-​off at Kahuli Airport was another great score.
Great rental car company and highly recommended.

The staff was friendly but we arives to get our convertible and it was super old and faded. The sun visor was falling off no joke. I think the reviews are a joke on here don’t go there.

Rented from Maui Car Rentals for our first trip out to the Island. The rental process was easy and straight forward with very friendly service. The prices are a fraction of what you will pay at one of the big name rental services, and for us, the affordability made our trip possible. Would definitely recommend to anyone, and we will definitely be using their services for our next trip to Maui.
Mahalo!

Rick: Just wanted to drop you a short note to say that your rental agency was perfect. The Honda van had enough room for four adults and one toddler, all of our luggage (five medium bags and portable crib + carry-​ons) and we even squeezed in a weeks worth of Costco goods, enroute to our condo. Your staff was very friendly and courteous, not to mention that your prices are far more reasonable than the national rental car agencies. I’m a huge fan of supporting local businesses than those big, overpriced chain stores. Also, no rental car agency stickers to identify you as a tourist, that thieves might target. The cars aren’t new, but who cares when you’re going to the beach.
You are on my «save» list, for future visits to Maui.

This was the best car rental experience I’ve had.
I booked the car with Maui Car Rentals within a week of needing it. The price was hundreds less than the big names. Their airport shuttle came fast and had the car seat we requested. We got a brand new Scion xB, which had plenty of room for my wife, baby, and all our stuff. Once it was time to go home Rick jumped in the car and drove us strait to the airport.
I will use these guys again and recommend them to anyone needing a rental car on Maui.

Maui Car Rentals is a far cry from the high pressure sales tactics you’ll find at one of the big national rental agencies. When I called to make a reservation, I was blown away with how quick the call was and the quote was outstanding. Literally hundreds cheaper. I reserved 3 2009 Toyota Corolla’s for two weeks each and each rental was about $ 280 …total! The best part were the free car seats. Hertz and the others charge upwards of $ 12 a day to rent a car seat you can BUY for $ 25 at Walmart. These guys include at no charge. Because we flew in after hours (about 9pm), they gave us the license plate numbers and directions, and we just rolled our luggage over, and retrieved the keys from the lockbox. No waiting in line or arguing about upgrades after a long flight. The cars were not new but they were very clean and suited us perfectly. Would I rent from them again? Definitely.

I needed a car — fast — and these guys had one for me. The prices were reasonable and the air conditioning worked like a dream. I also needed to extend my initial reservation and these guys worked with me. I really appreciated their help. Great service all around!

My family has been using No Ka Oi for rental cars for more than a decade. They’ve always been great. I’ve never had an issue with a reservation, a pickup or drop off, or with the car’s actual performance. And cost is great. I’m hesitant to post this review because I don’t want them to get so well-​known and busy that I can’t get a reservation next time ;) Seriously, though, support the mom-​and-​pop place instead of the corporate chains. They’re awesome.

The process was simple. Reservations done effortlessly on the phone. Picked up the car at the airport, hassle free. Paper work was cake. We rented our car for 8 days and had to extend it another day bc of our delayed flight. No problem.
If you’re a savvy traveller, you’d know that rental cars are a target for thieves in Maui since tourism is there highest commodity. So don’t leave your valuables in your car… even better rent a car from these guys! Our 2007 Toyota Corolla was totally incognito!!! People will think your a local.
Not only do these guys offer the best rates for renting a car, they are helpful along the process.
I’d rent from them every time I’m in Maui. I dig supporting local businesses. In fact, I wish they existed everywhere in the world. In my mind, their name isn’t a lie. Straight no ka oi!
Sidenote: before you drop off your car with these guys before you leave town, grab the Geste Shrimp Truck near by then pick up a Ululani’s shaved ice with ice cream on the bottom. You can thank me later.
