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
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.
We had an amazing experience with this Turo rental! The vehicle was clean, reliable, and exactly as described. It comfortably fit our family of five along with all of our luggage, which made traveling around Maui incredibly easy. The gas mileage was excellent, saving us money while exploring the island all week. It truly took great care of our family for the entire trip. We wouldn’t hesitate to rent this vehicle again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Maui!
The Jeep was perfect—brand new, clean, and great to drive. Christopher was an excellent communicator and made the entire rental process easy. Couldn’t have been better. Highly recommend!
Maria was an excellent person to rent from for this trip, and this car was perfect for our family of 5 (3 adults
What a great rental for Maui and our host was very attentive and easily reachable. We would rent from them again any day of the week. Thank you for the wonderful trip.
Vehicle was in the best condition that I’ve ever rented. So easy to deal with owner. Cleanliness was exceptional. I would definitely recommend and will rent through this owner again. Seamless. Thank you
Easy pickup, easy drop off instructions. Car good quality at a reasonable price
Abby is an amazing Host!! Her car was great had a great vacation Can’t wait to be back and rent from Abby again Thanks for a wonderful visit Holly and family
Car was a bit dated but it did what its supposes to do for a much more reasonable price. Transactions were easy and clear. Thanks for allowing us to utilize your car while on the island!
Maria was an amazing host! Her communication was awesome from start to finish super responsive, clear, and made the whole rental process smooth and stress free. The Jeep was absolutely perfect for our trip in Maui, especially for the beautiful Road to Hāna. It handled everything great and was the perfect vehicle for my family to comfortably enjoy all the stops and scenery along the way. Clean, reliable, and exactly what we needed for an unforgettable trip. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend renting from Maria if you’re visiting Maui!
Car was comfortable and ran smooth. A/C worked great! Owner communicated everything I needed to know before and during reservation. Even when something came up, they responded quickly. Thanks for letting us use your Subaru!
Perfect car to experience the Island. Car ran perfectly and had plenty of room for my family of 5 for our week vacation. Pick up and drop off was extremely easy! Honestly much easier than the rental places at the airport! Highly recommend. We will def be using them again when we come back. Mahalo!
Great Jeep if you're planning to go surfing. It has some miles on it and is a little older, but it's reliable. Overall, I was happy with both the Jeep and the service, especially for the price.
Our original rental was canceled just a few days before our trip, so this ended up being a last-minute booking and it couldn’t have worked out better! The Jeep was clean, reliable, and perfect for exploring Maui, especially the Road to Hana. The easy-to-use sunroof made the drive even more enjoyable. Pickup and drop-off were simple, and the host was friendly and responsive. We had a great experience from start to finish and would definitely rent from them again!
Fantastic rental for my family and me while vacationing in Hawaii for the first time. Communication with our host was exceptional. We will absolutely rent with Lucky Joy and Garry again!
The car was great especially for the price. It got great gas mileage too. It held all our beach stuff and all of us which was miraculous. Kama was great and very accommodating in pickup and drop off. We were able to meet him for a small fee at departures which made airport day so much easier.

This legendary route passes countless waterfalls, bamboo forests, and secluded beaches accessible only by car.

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.
