Bio Beetle was the absolute best pick for our car rental in Maui. We rented a Bio-Jetta and opted for the airport pickup service, which was incredibly reasonable. Instead of waiting in line at the traditional rental car service, we walked straight to the parking lot and were on our way. The car was clean and well serviced. The diesel engine was so much fun to drive. It was such a unique experience. The gas mileage was so good, we didn't need to fill up once. We used about half a tank in six days- even after the infamous "Drive to Hana." Pam was kind enough to loan us boogie boards, a cooler and reusable shopping bags. Drop-off was quick and easy, much easier than any corporate rental. Highly recommended to anyone looking for affordable, eco-friendly transportation.
Took a couple of phone calls to get booked, but zero issues after. They picked us up quickly from the airport in our Prius C. Car was clean, no smell, etc. We drove to their place to sign the paperwork and they lent us a small cooler and boogie boards. Within minutes we were on our way. Car functioned great. We drove the entire island (road to Hana, all the way around through the south side/Upcountry, around Northwest Maui--much scarier than the road to Hana, haha--and to the Haleakala summit and back) and the car handled it all completely fine. When we got to the airport on Sunday, we left the car and the keys there and a voicemail saying where we parked it. I was a little nervous about whether they'd find it--a text confirming on Monday woulda been nice--but since I haven't heard otherwise, I assume they got it with no issues. :) Would definitely rent from them again.
Don't be put off by the initial appearance of the office location. Pam provides very well maintained cars that are spotlessly clean and ready to drive. Our car was even provided with a small cooler so we could pack a lunch and a couple of drinks. Great service and Pam even returned us to our cruise ship in a Nissan Leaf electric car. We'll definitely be back.
This place is great. I used them a couple times to get a car in Maui and I wish that they were available on other islands. I've used the prius C and the leaf. The prius C will most like get you through a 4 day stay on a single tank and the Leaf's limited range is surprisingly not an issue with the abundance of quick chargers. Their prices are very reasonable and it feels good to support a green, local business!
Renting from Bio-Beetle allowed me to feel good about the necessary evil of renting a car on Maui. I wasn't looking for a fancy car, just something reliable and comfortable to get a few people around during vacation. The biodiesel Jetta I rented fit the bill: it drove just fine; had great gas mileage; the a/c worked well; and the trunk had lots of room for the beach umbrellas, foam noodles, and boogie boards that Bio-Beetle lent me. The rental process was just as convenient as using one of the major rental companies but it had a delightful personal touch! Being picked up at the airport and dropping the car off at the airport made everything hassle-free. If you want a pristine late-model car you might be disappointed. I was happy to drive a not-fancy car and enjoy the fringe benefits: supporting a local business; encouraging local cooking oil recycling initiatives, helping fund a cat sanctuary, and minimizing waste (free loan of beach supplies/toys)!
