Customer Testimonials: Hear It Straight from Our Guests

Renting with Maui EVs was incredible vs all of the legacy rental agencies. Communication was easy, the car was new and spotless and the process of pickup/drop off was super efficient, easy, and took no more time than an on site pickup/return….This is the only place you should be renting from on Maui.”

Our consistently stellar Google ratings (over 100 five-star reviews!) reflect our commitment to going above and beyond for every guest—something you can’t always count on with Turo’s host-based system. Check out more of our Google reviews and see why travelers rave about Maui EVs.

With Maui EVs, you’ll enjoy top-tier customer service and peace of mind, ensuring your vacation is as smooth and sustainable as possible—unlike the unpredictable experience that Turo Maui might deliver.

Transparent Pricing: A Better Deal Than Turo Maui

Turo’s initial prices might seem lower, but hidden fees often make the final cost higher than Maui EVs’ transparent pricing. Hidden fees, add-ons, and unclear insurance often mean you pay more than you initially expected.

With Maui EVs, what you see is what you pay. Our rates are all-inclusive, covering unlimited miles, a free additional driver, essential charging adapters, and no penalty for returning at a low charge. Our prices often beat Turo Maui, even when you don’t include all the hidden fees. Need insurance? Our Additional Liability Insurance (ALI) option is a flat, simple daily fee—no confusing tiers or guessing games.

Result: Better value for your money and less stress over your rental expenses.

Superior Service and Maintenance: Consistency You Can Count On

While Turo offers a wider variety of vehicles, Maui EVs focuses on EVs, providing the best eco-friendly experience on the island. Renting through Turo in Maui on the other hand can feel like rolling the dice. Every host is different, and vehicle upkeep varies widely. At Maui EVs, we maintain a high standard for every car, every time:

  • Local, Dedicated Team: We’re a Maui-based company, ready to assist when you need help. No navigating corporate call centers or dealing with absentee hosts.
  • Spotless, Like-New Vehicles: Our Teslas are newer, cleaner, and better cared for than many Turo listings.
  • Customer-Focused Experience: Glowing reviews from satisfied guests highlight our reliability, prompt communication, and ease of pickup/drop-off.

By choosing Maui EVs, you’re not just renting a car—you’re joining our island ohana.

Insurance Made Simple: Peace of Mind vs. Confusing Policies

Turo’s insurance options can be murky, and many personal credit cards or standard car insurance policies don’t extend coverage to Turo rentals.

With Maui EVs, you’re on firmer ground. Traditional insurance and most credit card car rental coverage typically apply to standard rental companies like ours. Need extra coverage? Our ALI insurance is straightforward with a flat daily fee. That’s it—no hidden terms, no second-guessing your protection.

Sustainable Travel and Local Support

The dollars you spend with Maui EVs stay here, helping support local communities and environmental initiatives. Plus, exploring Maui in an electric vehicle reduces your carbon footprint and preserves the island’s natural beauty for future generations.

Hawaiian reef-safe sunscreen, fresh local produce, eco-friendly gear—it all pairs perfectly with the quiet, clean ride of an EV. Start your journey at Costco Maui, stock up on island essentials, then hit the road in a Tesla that’s gentle on the planet and your wallet.
