Kahului Airport

Maui, United States

Where to start
Rideshare / taxi from the carousel 1 curb / Roberts Hawaii shuttle

Exit toward the curb by baggage carousel 1 and walk toward the taxi pickup area — there's a rideshare sign hanging from the ceiling marking the Uber/Lyft zone. Taxis are curbside in the same area. Roberts Hawaii runs the only authorized curbside shuttle (kiosk near baggage claim, no reservation needed). The Maui Bus stops at the airport but allows carry-on luggage only.

Local Tips

  • The Maui Bus only allows luggage you can hold on your lap or fit under the seat — with a suitcase it's not an option, so most visitors use rideshare, a shuttle or a rental car.
  • Roberts Hawaii is the only authorized curbside shuttle; its kiosk is near baggage claim and needs no reservation.
  • Rideshare is easiest mid-morning through late afternoon. For early-morning or late-night flights, availability thins — a pre-booked shuttle is more reliable.
  • Maui is very spread out; if you're staying several days and plan to explore (the Road to Hana, Upcountry, Haleakalā), a rental car usually makes more sense than repeated rideshares.
  • The rideshare zone is marked by a sign hanging from the ceiling near carousel 1 — look up, not just around.

Tarmyq local tip

Head for carousel 1 and look up — the rideshare sign hangs from the ceiling by the taxi area, and that's where Uber and Lyft collect. And skip the Maui Bus unless you're travelling with just a daypack; the carry-on-only rule is strict.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use Uber or Lyft at Kahului Airport (OGG)?

Yes. Both operate at OGG. Pickup is curbside near baggage carousel 1 — walk toward the taxi area and look for the rideshare sign hanging from the ceiling. Availability is best from mid-morning through late afternoon and thinner early morning and late evening.

Can I take the Maui Bus from the airport with luggage?

Only with a small bag. The Maui Bus serves OGG but strictly enforces a carry-on-only rule — luggage must fit on your lap or under the seat. With a suitcase or checked bags it isn't usable, so rideshare, a shuttle or a rental car are the practical choices.

Is there an airport shuttle at OGG?

Yes. Roberts Hawaii runs the only authorized curbside shuttle, on demand with flight arrivals and no reservation needed — its kiosk is near baggage claim. Pre-booked services like SpeediShuttle and holoholo are also available via courtesy phones in baggage claim.

Should I just rent a car on Maui?

For multi-day stays with exploring — the Road to Hana, Upcountry, Haleakalā — a rental car is usually the most practical option, since the island is spread out and rideshare availability varies by time of day.
