We had such a wonderful experience renting this car! The car was spotless, very comfortable, and perfect for exploring Maui with our family. Pickup and drop-off were incredibly easy, and the price was great too! Communication with the host was always friendly, quick, and smooth, which made the whole experience completely stress-free. We truly appreciated everything and would happily rent from them again in a heartbeat. Thank you for making our Maui trip even more enjoyable! Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🌺
Jeep Wrangler was perfect. Lots of extra details like phone mount on dash, phone charger, cooler. It was the perfect vehicle for a family drive on road to Hana. There are lots of jeep rentals on Maui, but John Mark's jeep is the best because of the power top and because it sips gas. Gas isn't cheap on Maui and our round trip to Hana only cost $22 in gas. We also encountered rain on our journey, and with the push of a button we were dry. Most jeep rentals through the rental companies are hard top which kind of defeats the purpose of renting one. Pickup was easy, price was right, and owner was great. I can't imagine there is a better rental on the island.
Such an amazing experience with a rental car! Host was very communicative and clear with all instructions for drop-off and pick-up, so much faster than doing the rental counter. Also loved the option for beach equipment rentals! Saved us money in the long run from renting the stuff at the resort. We would totally rent from them again!!
Brusly was so accommodating. He dropped the car off at Kahului airport for me and made it easy for us to find. He also left me the cost for the parking upon arrival. He responded quickly to my texts and his instructions for key retrieval was easy!! He was so awesome, I rather rent through Turo and avoid the hassle of the car rental companies!! Awesome service!!
Renting Hannah’s Jeep Wrangler was hands down one of the best decisions my girlfriend and I made during our trip! The Jeep was absolutely perfect for exploring the island, incredibly fun to drive, super clean, and made every adventure that much more memorable. Hannah was an outstanding host—friendly, accommodating, and went above and beyond to make sure our experience was nothing short of amazing. If you’re looking for the perfect vehicle to make your vacation unforgettable, look no further than Hannah’s Jeep Wrangler—we would give her 10 stars if we could and would absolutely rent from her again!
Best car you could rent for Maui . People were easy to work with and responsive . Car play listed is for if you plug your phone in but it would only work with older iPhones not a newer one one that is for sure so I’m sure it just needs a software update. Would have just been nice to know ahead of time. Not worth docking a star over but it was annoying having to hold my phone to navigate as the car doesn’t have its own navigation system that works . All in on very happy with it was a good price. Definitely make sure you have a Costco membership or be prepared to get the stick on gas prices. Averages 25 mpg overall including the trip to Hana and we put about 400-450 miles on the car will rent from them again when we come back of possible. Thanks for the car! Mahalo
Car was fantastic, convinced me I need to buy one now 😂. Elias had great communication , was very flexible with the reservation. Directions to the car were perfect, maybe a two min walk from the terminal. Clean, reliable and comfortable. Perfect trip !!
Fantastic experience! The host was friendly, responsive, and made the entire rental process seamless. The car was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. Pick up and return were straightforward. We really appreciated how easy everything was and would absolutely book again!
I canNOT say enough good things about these fine, amazing, and beautiful people! From the start of our reservation, the day of pickup, during the trip, and at delivery.... these here folks are THE BEST, through and through! We will be back in Maui, and rarely do we plan very far in advance, but now.... we will book as far in advance as possible to make sure we can rent for these heroes.
We had such a wonderful experience renting a car from Elena during our Maui vacation! 🌺🚗 From start to finish, everything was seamless, easy, and stress-free. Elena was incredibly friendly, accommodating, and communicative, making the entire process a breeze. The car was perfect for exploring the beautiful island of Maui, and having such a reliable rental made our vacation even more enjoyable. We truly appreciated Elena’s hospitality and attention to detail. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely rent from her again on our next visit! Mahalo, Elena, for helping make our Maui getaway so memorable! 🌴☀️ Highly recommend!
Good, Just ants, but that’s how it is on an island sometimes. Nice ride especially for the price
From pick up to drop off, communication was detailed and easy to follow. The car was great and perfect for our trip. Would not hesitate to rent from them again! Love supporting local family run businesses!
The Kia Telluride was an excellent vehicle! It was clean, spacious, comfortable, and drove great throughout the trip. There was plenty of room for passengers and luggage, making it perfect for our travels. The entire experience was smooth, and I would absolutely recommend this vehicle to anyone looking for a reliable and comfortable SUV. Would definitely rent again!
We had such a great experience renting Reid’s car! The car was clean, reliable, comfortable, and exactly what we needed for our trip to Maui. Reid was also amazing with communication—he was very responsive, helpful, and made the whole rental process super easy and stress-free. Everything went smoothly from pickup to drop-off. We would definitely rent from Reid again and highly recommend him!
Great car! Super easy pickup and dropoff at OGG. Excellent communication. Plus its a hybrid so high gas prices was not an issue. A++++
Everything was good with quality and was pretty cheap for a 3 day rental me and my family had lost of fun being able to travel the island.

The summit area offers incredible sunrise and sunset viewing opportunities, along with hiking trails that wind through otherworldly rock formations and rare silversword plants.

Road to Hana coastal adventure drive
The Road to Hana presents one of the world's most famous scenic drives, featuring over 600 curves and dozens of one-lane bridges as it winds along Maui's rugged northeastern coastline. This legendary route passes countless waterfalls, bamboo forests, and secluded beaches accessible only by car.

This lush rainforest valley holds deep cultural significance in Hawaiian history and offers easy walking trails through tropical vegetation alongside a flowing stream. The park provides a cool, refreshing contrast to Maui's beach environments with its towering mountains, cascading waterfalls, and dense green canopy. The short drive from central Maui makes it an accessible day trip, and your SUV easily handles the park's paved access roads while providing space for hiking gear, water bottles, and rain jackets needed for the valley's occasionally misty conditions.
