Maui Airport Transfers

Kahului Airport (OGG) is the main airport on Maui. The fastest and most economical way to get to your hotel from the airport (or vice versa) is to ride a shared or private transfer that will get you comfortably to your destination. Below, I'll tell you about all the options so you can choose the one that best suits you.

After a long flight where you will probably feel the effects of jet lag, there is no doubt that the first thing you will want to do when you land in Maui is to go to the hotel to take a shower and rest.

To avoid wasting time wandering around the terminal looking for a free cab while you load your bags or trying to find the right public transportation connection to take you to your accommodation, the best solution is to book a shared transfer from Kahului Airport (OGG).

On the day of your arrival at the airport, the driver of the shared transfer will pick you up along with the other travelers to take you to your hotel in an air-conditioned vehicle (something you will appreciate when you land on Maui and notice the warm weather of the island, especially in summer) equipped with a maximum capacity of 12 passengers and enough space for luggage.

If you choose the lei option of the shared transfer, you will be greeted Hawaiian style with a necklace of fresh flowers and after a quiet and relaxed ride by a professional driver who knows the island to perfection, in a few minutes you will get off at the door of your hotel ready to start your vacation in Maui.

This service is available both to and from the airport as well as just to and from the hotel or just back to the airport.

Shared transfer back to the airport

At the end of their stay in Hawaii, travelers are most concerned about getting to the airport in time to catch a smooth and hassle-free flight home.

In this sense, the most convenient option is to book a shared transfer service from your hotel to the Kahului airport. On the day of your return, all you have to do is be ready in time for the driver to pick you up at your hotel and take you quickly to the terminal.

A word of advice! To facilitate the service, inform the hotel doorman or concierge that you are waiting for a driver to pick you up to go to the Maui airport.

If you are looking for a fast and personalized service, another interesting option to consider is the private transfer between the airport and the hotels in Maui.

It works the same as the shared transfers with the difference that you will not have to wait for other passengers to share a vehicle with them, but you will only have at your disposal and that of your companions a private vehicle with driver that will take you directly to your hotel without making other stops.

They have a fleet of cars with a maximum of 8 seats, air conditioning and Wi-Fi as well as enough space for luggage. In addition, they have baby seats and are accessible for assistance animals upon request.

You will be able to communicate with the driver in English, who will be waiting for you at the airport holding a sign with your name on it and will help you with your luggage. The private transfer is a simple, comfortable and fast way to get to your hotel in Maui without waiting.

It is also available to return to the airport at the end of your trip on the island, without the stress and worry of finding a free transportation for your flight date at the last minute.

If you want to book your place in a shared transfer you can find options from almost 10 euros but for a little more, I advise you to upgrade to this service to be greeted with a lei necklace of fresh flowers at the airport in Maui, in true Hawaiian style!

As for private transfers, the price is usually higher compared to shared transfers because it is a faster door to door service, where you will not have to share the vehicle with anyone and the driver will be at your complete disposal.

As soon as you know the details of your flight to Maui you can book online one of these transfers to take you from the airport to your hotel. At the time of booking you must indicate the number of passengers traveling in the vehicle and the date of the transfer.

You will also be asked for the name of the airline, the flight identification number and the destination address. This way the operator will have real time information of your flight and will be able to monitor it in order to inform the driver of any delay or unforeseen event.

When you land, the transfer driver will meet you and place your luggage in the luggage compartment. You will then be driven to your hotel in a comfortable air-conditioned vehicle.

In the case of departure transfers, you will have to provide similar information and the driver will pick you up at your accommodation to arrive at the airport well in advance.

The main difference between a private transfer and a shared transfer is that it is the most comfortable and fastest option to get to your accommodation in Maui as soon as possible because you will not have to wait for other passengers or share the vehicle with anyone.

In addition, the driver will give you and your companions exclusive attention. On the other hand, the price is usually higher than a shared transfer, which are more economical and are adapted to tighter budgets.

In principle, each passenger is allowed 2 suitcases and 1 carry-on bag so that there is enough space in the vehicle, especially on shared transfers. If you are traveling with bulky luggage such as surfboards or musical instruments, it is advisable to write an email to ensure that they are taken into account.

As for private transfers, there is usually more flexibility when it comes to carrying more luggage, as long as you let them know in advance so that the space on board the car is foreseen.

Shuttle services, both private and shared, are available every day of the week, 24 hours a day. This is especially interesting when you are traveling in the early morning hours and there is no public transportation available.

Don't worry, at the time of booking the transfer you will be asked for some information about your flight so that the service operator can monitor it and be aware of any delays or unforeseen events in order to inform the driver.
