Airport Transportation in Maui

Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Kahului Airport to your hotel, resort or vacation rental.

After immigration, baggage claim and customs, continue outside the terminal to the meeting area named in your confirmation. Your vehicle is reserved only for the passengers on your reservation: unlike a shared shuttle, it makes no extra hotel stops for other travelers, and the price is per vehicle, not per person.

Our Maui airport transportation takes you from Kahului Airport (OGG) to the beach resorts and condos of Kihei, Wailea and Makena, to the West Maui resorts of Kaanapali, Napili and Kapalua, and to homes in Kahului, Wailuku, Paia and Upcountry.

Maui Airport Transfers

Maui airport transfers start at baggage claim in the main terminal at Kahului, where your driver meets you after you collect your bags. We track your flight, so the pickup follows your real landing time, and the price is fixed per vehicle and agreed before you fly. Choose the vehicle for your party, from a sedan for two to a van for a family or group with surfboards, golf clubs and beach gear.

Each OGG airport transfer goes door to door to your resort lobby, condo complex or vacation rental in South Maui, West Maui or Upcountry. Heading to Hana or another remote corner of the island? Enter your address in the booking form to see whether a transfer is offered.

Maui Airport Shuttle

Our Maui airport shuttle is a private van for your party only, not a shared shuttle that stops at other resorts on the way to Kihei, Wailea or Kaanapali. It leaves as soon as you have your bags, with room for luggage, strollers and beach gear, and suits families, groups and wedding parties.

Landing at Maui Airport

Kahului Airport (OGG), known to most travelers as Maui airport, sits on the island's north shore beside the town of Kahului and is run by the Hawaii Department of Transportation. All jet flights, interisland, from the US mainland and from Canada, use one main terminal, with gates 1 to 39 above and ticketing, agricultural inspection and baggage claim on the ground level.

Most arrivals are domestic, so there is no passport control: you walk from the gate down to baggage claim, collect your bags and meet your driver there. Flights from Canada normally clear US border inspection at preclearance before departure.

Hawaii is on Hawaii-Aleutian Standard Time (UTC-10) all year, with no daylight saving time, and uses the US dollar.

Entry requirements and local notes

Agriculture declaration. Arriving from the US mainland, every traveler must complete Hawaii's Plants and Animals Declaration, even with nothing to declare. It is now submitted online through Akamai Arrival, up to five days before your flight or during it.

ESTA or visa. Visitors from abroad need a passport and an ESTA or US visa. Flights from Canada clear US preclearance before departure, so have your documents ready there.

Check your airport code. Maui also has two small commuter airports, Kapalua (JHM) and Hana (HNM). This page is for Kahului Airport (OGG), where nearly all flights land.

Agricultural inspection going home. Bags on flights to the US mainland go through a USDA agricultural inspection before check-in at Kahului, so allow time for it when you plan your ride back to the airport.

Maui Airport Transportation FAQs

Where will my driver meet me at Maui airport?

At baggage claim on the ground level of the main terminal at Kahului Airport (OGG), after you collect your bags. Your confirmation gives the exact meeting point and the company name.

How far is Maui airport from Kihei, Wailea and Kaanapali?

Kihei is about 10 miles (16 km) from Kahului Airport and Wailea about 17 miles (27 km), usually 25 to 40 minutes by car. Kaanapali is about 27 miles (43 km) away, roughly 45 minutes to an hour along the Honoapiilani Highway, and Kapalua a little farther.

Can you take me to Wailea or Makena?

Yes. We drive door to door to the resorts, condos and vacation homes of Wailea and Makena on Maui's south shore.

Can you take me to Kaanapali, Napili or Kapalua?

Yes. We drive to the resorts and condos of West Maui, including Kaanapali, Kahana, Napili and Kapalua, along the Honoapiilani Highway.

Can you take me to Kihei?

Yes. We drive to hotels, condo complexes and vacation rentals all along South Kihei Road and the rest of Kihei.

Can you take me to Hana?

Hana is on Maui's remote east coast at the end of the winding Hana Highway. Enter your address in the booking form to see whether a transfer is offered for that route.

Can you take me to Paia, Makawao or Kula?

Yes. We drive to Paia on the north shore and to homes and inns Upcountry in Makawao, Pukalani and Kula on the slopes of Haleakala.

Do you drive to condos and vacation rentals on Maui?

Yes. Give the complex name, the full street address, the unit number and any gate code, so your driver can take you to the right building.

Which terminal will I arrive at?

All jet flights to Kahului use the one main terminal, so every major airline arrives at the same baggage claim. Mokulele commuter flights use a small separate commuter terminal.

Do you pick up late-night or early-morning flights?

Yes. Give your flight number when you book, and your driver is scheduled for the actual landing time, including late evening arrivals from the mainland.

Should I accept rides from people offering transportation in baggage claim?

There is no need. Booking ahead gives you a confirmed vehicle and meeting point before you land. If someone approaches you, check the company name against your confirmation before getting in.

What happens if my flight is delayed or canceled?

We monitor the flight on your reservation, so your driver waits for the actual landing. If your flight number, date or airline changes, or your flight is canceled, tell customer service so the pickup can be moved.

Can I book a ride back to Maui airport?

Yes. Book a one-way departure or a round trip from your resort, condo or rental, and give your flight number and departure time. Flights to the mainland need a USDA bag inspection before check-in, so the pickup time allows for it.
