Our Story
Founded by Kimo in 2005, Kimos Rent a Car began by renting cars to friends visiting the island during the water sports season. Through effort, dedication, and the loyalty of our friends and customers, we gradually expanded our car fleet.
As we celebrate nearly two decades of service, our business has grown to serve not only our friends but also many other visitors to Maui. Friendship laid the foundation for our business long ago, and that's why friendliness will always be our priority.
We remain fully committed to our original goal, which is to ensure that Maui visitors feel at home, comfortable, and safe throughout their vacation.
Our Approach
We share a common passion with many of our customers: a love for water sports and the ocean, or simply an appreciation for the Aloha spirit and the beauty of Maui.
Your enjoyment of this island is important to us, and we strive to do everything we can to ensure that you have an easy, affordable, and fantastic Maui vacation.
Why Us?
The key to our success lies in the loyalty of our repeat customers who choose our car rental service year after year.
They return to us because we offer the best rates for Maui car rentals, provide friendly service, and offer reliable used cars.
 Loyal Customers 10% discount
We value our loyal customers, which is why we introduced our Loyalty Customer Program. This program is our gesture of gratitude to all our repeat customers."
Mahalo to all our loyal customers who have rented from us over the years. To those friends, family, and Maui visitors who have helped us build our business from the beginning, we extend our sincere gratitude.

Now ...let me try to make this part of the website a little more funny 🙂
Kimo
Owner
Meet Kimo, the man who founded Kimos Rent a Car back in 2005 and still runs the show today. With a childhood spent on a sailboat, he's as calm as the ocean breeze. When he's not busy with business, you'll find him fishing or riding the waves—he's a true ocean enthusiast.
But here's the twist: Kimo isn't just a business owner; he's also a pro at being a husband and dad. Sure, there are rough waters sometimes, like waking up to an angry email, but Kimo's secret? Our amazing customers who always bring the Aloha spirit.
And guess what? Everyone knows him as 'Kimo, from Kimos Rent a Car.' It's practically his official title!
Paula
Administrator
Meet Paula, the backbone behind the scenes at Kimos Rent a Car. Not just Kimo's better half, she's also the brains in the Billing/Admin department. You might know her as "The wife of Kimos, from Kimos Rent a Car," but hey, maybe they should've called it "Paula Rent a Car" instead!
When she's not crunching numbers, you'll find her on the boat with Kimo, though she's not exactly thrilled about the fishing part. While everyone else cheers for the catch, Paula's the one feeling sorry for the fish—talk about a fishy situation! She jokes about going vegetarian, but let's face it, she loves food too much to give up the good stuff.
The guys at the shop? They call her " The real Boss" .
Dani
Manager
Meet Daniel, the man who started at the wash bay many years ago and now leads as our General Manager.
Dani is more than just a manager—he's a legend. The most loyal and hardworking guy you'll ever meet, he's never missed a single day of work. But here's the kicker: he's not just a workhorse, he's also a chess champion. Every day, he strategizes with our rental cars, making sure everything runs like clockwork at Kimos.
You know you've made it when customers mistake you for the boss, and that's exactly what happens with Dani. Some even call him the "Real Kimo"!
And here's the kicker: ever seen someone so committed to their work that not even five baby chicks jumping on their back can break their focus? Check out the video below. Rumor has it, Dani's a bit of an animal whisperer too. Now that's what we call dedication!
Paul
Mechanic
Meet Paul, our main mechanic extraordinaire. With over 30 years of experience fixing cars, he's the heartbeat of our operation.
But Paul is more than just a mechanic—he's a force of nature. Committed and passionate, he's been with Kimos Rent a Car for many years, pouring his heart and soul into every repair job. Cars aren't just his profession; they're his passion. And when he's not tinkering under the hood, you'll find him on two wheels, camping in the great outdoors, catching waves, or simply enjoying quality time with his faithful sidekick, Walter the dog.
They say if you love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life. Well, Paul is living proof of that motto. Whether it's on the clock or off, he's always fixing, always tinkering, and always smiling.
Walter
Assistance Mechanic
Introducing our beloved shop pet, Walter! He's not just any pet—he's our true surf champ and the guardian of our shop. Walter takes his role very seriously, making sure everything is A-OK at all times.
But don't let his bossy appearance fool you—Walter is a total sweetheart. He lives for his beach walks and gets a bit grumpy if he misses out. Despite his tough exterior, Walter is incredibly sensitive. If you stop by the shop, please don't forget to say hello to him. Ignoring Walter is a big no-no, and he'll feel terribly offended if you do. So, come on in, give him a pat, and make his day!
