If you use the Business & attraction locator
function on Marriott.com you'll find there are 8 car rental agencies w/in 2.5 miles of the Maui Marriott, including an Enterprise where they'll pick you up.

I know you didn't ask this, but since you'll have a car I recommend two restaurants - Roy's Nicolina in Kahana and Sensei in Kapalua.

Another question you didn't ask, but it might be helpful: OGG is one of the few places in the world where I have successfully used Priceline to save money on rental cars. The process was efficient: I did not feel I lost any time by using Priceline vs. a frequent-renter-club service.

Car Rental in Maui - end of next week - duration: 1 week - how to get cheapest rates?
I looked at Kayak - the cheapest rate (quoted as a daily rate) for the major car rental companies in Maui (for economy or compact cars) ranged from $41 to $44 day. As linked web site (discount Hawaii car rentals) quoted me for a similar type of cars at the base weekly rate of $140+.
Is this booking through one of the web sites, reliable? Are these the cheapest weekly rates that I can get? If not, through what mechanisms do I find cheaper weekly rates?

Have you tried Hotwire or Priceline?
It's a big time for rental cars in Hawaii.
Was told yesterday at Budget Honolulu that they have 900 reservations in the coming week and are barging in cars from neighbor islands.

Priceline
On Monday, I booked a convertible in Maui for $30/day from Hertz for mid August. Lowest price I have found regardless of codes or using my status with Hertz or Enterprise.
