Traffic Information

Speed limits in Maui are relatively slow with a maximum limit of 55mph. With plenty of places you can pull over to take in the magnificent scenery this makes for a stress-free driving experience. Across the island, there are mostly single lane roads and there is little congestion due to the low population. Towns are very pedestrian friendly with many crosswalks and in general you will find driving in Maui is scenic and relaxing, which is what you would expect from this laidback and beautiful island.

Sixt Tips

Kahului is about as urban as Maui gets being its hub of transportation, industry and shopping. Along the coastline in both directions you will find major tourist resorts catering to all your vacation needs, while Kahului itself is a working city that is well worth visiting to get a feel of everyday life on Maui. As you take your car rental from Kahului Airport to the city center down Dairy Road or Kaahumanu Road, you will notice several large department stores where you can pick up supplies. Further into central Kahului, towards the port, you will find the Queen Kaahumanu Center, the largest shopping mall in Maui, as well as large supermarkets, and organic food stores.

For arts and culture, check out the program at the Maui Arts and Cultural Center that has a mix of local and international live music, exhibitions and theater shows. A trip out to Kanaha Beach Park is also recommended to marvel at skilled surfers and take advantage of the picnic and barbeque facilities. The centrally located Maui Nui Botanical Gardens is also well worth a visit and focuses strictly on the beautiful native plants of Hawaii.

Sightseeing Destinations

There are two main coastal routes running past the harbor to the east and west. Take your rent a car along Kahului Beach Road to the west and you can do a loop around the West Maui Forest Reserve passing Kapalua and Lahaina on the way. Most routes on Maui offer stunning scenery but take the Hana Highway to the east to cruise some of the most beautiful landscapes in the whole of Hawaii.

A short drive in rental cars from Kahului is the Iao Valley State Park with its rainforests, waterfalls and green mountain peaks. Make sure you pack a raincoat as the Iao Valley is one of the wettest places in Hawaii. Here you can take some extraordinary hikes, swim beneath waterfalls and visit the Hawaii Nature Center and Kapaniwai Heritage Gardens.

Business Travel

If you are traveling to Kahului for business you will find many hotels that cater specifically to the business traveler. The Maui Economic Development Board organizes business events for startups and has a list suitable meeting spaces on the island, while the Maui Arts and Cultural Center based in Kahului also holds conferences and has a range of spaces to book for your meetings and events.
