Maneuvering a large SUV rental in Kihei's beachfront parking areas requires careful attention. Always approach slowly, as pedestrians and beachgoers may be present. Utilize your SUV rental's backup camera and parking sensors when available, especially in tighter spots near popular beaches. Consider backing into spaces when possible for easier exit. Be mindful of overhanging vegetation or low-hanging signs that might not be visible from the driver's seat. If unsure about a space's size, it's better to find a larger spot, even if it means a slightly longer walk to the beach. Lastly, always be aware of soft sand areas where larger vehicles might get stuck, particularly when parking near less developed beaches in South Maui.
