Hawaiian Airlines has resumed service to West Maui Airport. But will the added cost of car rentals there be a deal breaker for you?

OMG – so glad to see this posting. On our last trip to Maui it took almost 3 hrs to Drive from OGG to Mahinahina (normally 45-60min.) our return to Calif. took OVER 24 hours because HAL could not get another plane to OGG and by the time we were flown to HNL there were no flights til the next day! Could have been a different story if we had flown directly to HNL from Kapalua at the start of the day.
Mahalo for your constant good work!!
Thanks Val.
Aloha.
Great news about the new HNL-JHM route. I am the founder of AutoSlash.com and I was curious about your comment. It is true that there is less competition at JHM with only Avis, Budget, Enterprise, National and Alamo compared to 10+ companies at OGG, so it does make sense that rates could be higher there.
That said, after running 10 different searches for varying dates and vehicle types, I found that in many cases rates at JHM were as good if not better than OGG. Additionally, AutoSlash applies coupons and discount codes to get the rate down, and in some cases discounted JHM rates can save a fair amount of money vs. OGG.
If you’re staying in the Kaanapali area, JHM is obviously more convenient, so I’d encourage people to compare airfare cost and hotel to see what makes the most sense from the $ vs. convenience standpoint.
Note that you can get a discounted rate quote at either airport at http://www.autoslash.com/quote.
