Any of you guys on Maui have an extra vehicle you would be willing to rent to my family and me while Im in Maui - Appears that all car rentals during that time are fully booked....no availability.

rad thanks guys - my friend who is an exec at a rental car company usually takes care of this...but apparently, C19 caused rental car companies to move their vehicles from the islands since their market dried up with the quarantine -causing the shortage...

it's nationawide. rental companies had to sell a lot of their fleet to raise cash to make it through the pandemic. now the chip shortage is making it difficult for them to rebuild them.

I had my rental car cancelled the day before I arrived last month and there was literally nothing else available from the main car rental places in town.

Don't rent from Kimos car rental whatever you do.

Lady at the airport gave us the phone number of one of her friends who rents a small fleet of his cars out for the week. If you need his number, let me know.
