Parking on Maui

How is the parking situation on Maui? I know it probably depends on the tourist season, therefore we are leaving in 2 weeks and staying for 2 weeks. Can it be expensive and a headache to find parking?

Does anyone know any tips about saving money on parking and finding alrernative safe places to park?

I don%26#39;t mind having to look a bit for parking but I will be with my nice, but impatient Husband.

Thank you

Never had any problems with parking. It%26#39;s a bit harder in Lahaina but we never had to pay for parking.

Parking on Maui

Where are you guys staying? What part of the island?

We are staying in Kihei. We can walk across the street to go to the beach, but I can see us trying out other beach%26#39;s especially for the snorkeling, and boogie boarding. What is the parking like at the beach%26#39;s?

all of the beaches have free parking -- the shops and restauants all have free parking available--the condos have free parking but i believe that the bigger hotels may charge guests for daily parking and valet assistance

other then that you should have no problem --

whereever possible park next to other cars and in the evening try to find well lighted locations

I only know of two places on Maui where you are charged for parking: Lahaina and Kaanapali. There are also some free spaces in those areas, if you can find a spot. Some hotels and a few condos charge for overnight parking, and a hotel%26#39;s valet parking will be a charge.

The Lahaina pay parking is only a couple of dollars. Weigh that against the time driving around to save a couple of dollars.

Here is my free parking tip for Lahaina. Get there around 4pm and park in the free lot just off Prison and Front streets. For free beach parking, get to the lots before 9 am. If you find some beaches that you would like to go to, list them and some of us will give you directions to the free lots.

ChiSue I believe you are also charged for parking at the Kahului airport (after the first half hour).

We didn%26#39;t have any trouble parking last April. The night we ate at Cheeseburger in Paradise it took two passes, but a spot opened up right in front. Parking was plentiful, and free, in most areas.

Doubt the OP%26#39;s question was about airport parking, but yes, you do pay unless you are in the temporary lot (20 minute limit, we were told).

BTW, it is a good idea for new arrivals to use that temp lot. You can get your rental car, park in temp parking and go across the street into the terminal to collect the rest of your party and luggage. (Avoid a run-in with the airport police who enforce the rule about not leaving your vehicle in the pick-up lanes.)
