Aloha traveler! Not everyone wants to drive on vacation — and that’s perfectly okay. On Maui, island time runs a little slower, the ocean sparkles a little brighter, and sometimes the best adventures begin when you simply let someone else take the wheel. Whether you’re headed to the beach, a sunset dinner, or a local market, Maui offers several easy and scenic ways to get around — no rental car required!

🚌 Maui Bus – Ride the Island Breeze

For a simple, affordable, and authentic way to explore, the Maui Bus is your best bet.The bus stop at Ma‘alaea Harbor — just a short stroll from Luana Moana — connects you to popular destinations like Lahaina, Kihei, and Kahului.

Each bus is air-conditioned and island-friendly, offering locals and visitors alike an easy ride with a touch of aloha.

🚕 Taxis – Classic Island Convenience

If you prefer door-to-door comfort, taxi services are widely available across Maui. You’ll find them near major resorts, shopping areas, and the airport. Taxis are a great choice for short trips or airport transfers when you’d rather relax and enjoy the ride.

Local Favorites:

Maui Airport Taxi (808) 877-0907
Kihei Taxi (808) 879-3000
Wailea Taxi (808) 874-6900

💡 Insider Tip: Always confirm your fare before the ride begins, as Maui taxi rates are metered but can vary by route.

🚗 Uber & Lyft – Your Ride at the Tap of an App

Both Uber and Lyft operate throughout Maui, including Kahului Airport (OGG). They’re a convenient option for guests who prefer flexibility and digital ease.

Simply request your ride through the app once you’ve collected your luggage.
Rideshare pickup at OGG is located in the Car Rental Facility, just a short walk or tram ride from the terminal.
Prices vary depending on time and demand, but rides to Kihei, Wailea, or Lahaina are often very reasonable compared to taxis.

💬 Aloha Tip: Maui’s cell coverage can be spotty in remote areas, so request your ride while you still have a strong signal — especially if you’re venturing out to places like the Road to Hāna or Haleakalā.

🌴 Island-Style Advice

Whether you catch a bus, call a cab, or summon a rideshare, remember: you’re on Maui time. Slow down, smile, and soak in the views. Every ride here comes with a touch of aloha — and you never know what hidden gems you’ll discover along the way.

E mālama pono (take good care) and enjoy the journey — even without a car, Maui will move you in more ways than one.
