Maui, United States

Where to start
Rideshare from the Floor 1 TNC area / taxi fronting baggage claim / SpeediShuttle

Rideshare pickup is on Floor 1, between baggage claim and the rental car counters near the Commuter Terminal. Taxis are separate — they wait fronting the baggage claim area. SpeediShuttle runs the airport's shared shuttle service, with a counter in the baggage claim area and no reservation needed. Maui Bus Routes 40 and 35 stop at marked locations fronting the terminal, with a one-medium-bag limit.

Pickup Guidance

Rideshare

Taxi

Taxis wait fronting the baggage claim area — a separate location from the Floor 1 rideshare pickup.

Shuttle

SpeediShuttle runs the airport's shared shuttle service — a counter in the baggage claim area, no reservation needed. Roberts Hawaii and other pre-arranged permittees can be booked in advance (courtesy phones in baggage claim).

Transit

Maui Bus Routes 40 (Upcountry Islander) and 35 (Haiku Islander) stop at marked locations fronting the terminal, seven days a week including holidays, roughly every 90 minutes. One medium bag (22 x 14 x 9 inches) is permitted.

Local Tips

  • The Maui Bus permits one medium bag (22 x 14 x 9 inches) — with a large suitcase it is not an option, so most visitors use rideshare or a shuttle.
  • SpeediShuttle has a counter in the baggage claim area and needs no reservation. Roberts Hawaii is a pre-arranged airport transportation permittee — book in advance rather than expecting a curbside pickup.
  • 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 on Floor 1, between baggage claim and the rental car counters near the Commuter Terminal — not at the taxi curb.

Tarmyq local tip

Rideshare and taxi are in different places here — Uber and Lyft collect on Floor 1 between baggage claim and the rental car counters, while taxis wait fronting baggage claim. And skip the Maui Bus unless you're travelling light; it permits one medium bag only.

Frequently asked questions

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

Yes. Both operate at OGG. Pickup is on Floor 1, between baggage claim and the rental car counters near the Commuter Terminal — a different spot from the taxi area. 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?

With one medium bag. Maui Bus Routes 40 and 35 serve OGG and permit a single bag up to 22 x 14 x 9 inches. With a large suitcase it isn't practical, so rideshare or a shuttle are the usual choices.

Is there an airport shuttle at OGG?

Yes. SpeediShuttle runs the airport's shared shuttle service, with a counter in the baggage claim area and no reservation needed. Roberts Hawaii and other pre-arranged permittees can be booked in advance via the 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.
