The transportation in Maui included taxis, buses, car rentals, shuttles and motorcycle rentals.Most visitors to Maui rent a car for the duration of their stay. Rates
are reasonable, less so in tourist season, and the convenience is well worth it. If you prefer something different, many companies rent Harley Davidsons, Exotic Cars, and mopeds or scooters. There is now a public bus system on Maui, so if you're planning on staying around town, and prefer to sunbathe at the hotel and shop at the malls to touring the island and seeing the sights, then the bus is probably an economical way to go.

The fares are expensive and metered by distance traveled (currently $3.50 per mile) and a ride from Kahului to Kaanapali is $85, and a fare to Kapalua from the airport is $100. Suddenly $40 for a rental car doesn't seem like a bad deal! Around town, expect fares in the $5-$10 range. Limo rides from the airport are usually over $200 one way to or from Kaanapali. Classy Taxi offers rides in renovated old cars from the 1920s and 1930s.
There is a new public bus service on Maui, run by Roberts Hawaii, along with numerous shuttle services operating from the Kahului Airport to South Maui and West Maui, between South Maui and West Maui, and within the resort developments of Kaanapali and Wailea.
