I cannot overstate what a great decision it was to spend a day with Maui Roadsters. We took Pele for a day trip around the island and to say it was an exquisite car is a vast understatement. With that said, the care we received from Jerome and Yvonne was even better.
This car looks like it was just driven off of a 1957 showroom floor, so I was a little nervous about driving such a piece of art. It’s like taking the Mona Lisa to a coffee shop; you just want to protect it at all costs.
Even if I was rightfully trepidatious, Jerome walked me through everything like he was lending the car to a family member. He showed me how everything worked and prepared me for anything I might need. He wasn’t worried about me driving their car and by the time we finished the short “Intro to Classic Porsche”, I wasn’t either.
My wife was relatively indifferent about taking such a fine automobile out for a drive, but she was totally onboard since she knew I was excited. Still, by the time we were driving around the coast of West Maui she was talking about how awesome it was. Better yet, by the end of the trip she was talking about learning to drive stick so she could take the wheel next time. To be fair, she has always wanted to learn how to do that, but there is nothing like being in the seat of such a powerful yet elegant automobile to reignite that desire.
We had originally planned to take the car out earlier in our vacation, but our only open day turned out to be our last day in Maui. Jerome and Yvonne went out of their way to let us drop the car off at the airport and even transported our bags so it would be easy to make our evening flight. If that’s not treating people like family, I’m not sure what is.
If you want to feel like a celebrity, you should definitely try driving one of their Porsches. Other than being around my wife, I’ve never seen so many jaws drop or heads turn.
While it’s not the same car, I’ve never felt more like Ferris Bueller in my life. To quote Ferris, “I love driving it. It is so choice. If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up.” Well now you have the means because Jerome and Yvonne make it easy to pick one up for the day and they won’t even make you drive home backwards!

We decided to rent a roadster for our daughter’s wedding in Maui ! Best decision we made. Jerome was so very helpful with all our questions and concerns . The day of the wedding Jerome and Yvonne delivered the baby blue roadster to the home we rented and my husband and daughter were thrilled . This beautiful car added so much to the wedding photos and video and my husband and son in law had a blast driving it around ! I would recommend this business to anyone wanting that special something to add to an already fun, beautiful event or just a fun day of site seeing . Thanks Jerome

Great communications with Yvonne and Jerome made this event so easy! Watch the introduction to your roadster. We rented the Lani and their instructions helped us navigate the roads and highways of Maui without incident. During our journey, we got so many compliments and conversation about this iconic roadster. My wife caught me looking at the car and since her birthday was the next day, she kiddingly said oh you got my dream car! I replied, “Actually, we have it all day tomorrow!” She bought a nice, foldable, woven, broad brimmed hat that protected her from the sun. If you can confidently drive a 4 speed and know how to handle it when you’re stopped on an incline using the parking brake then you’re in for a wonderful experience. Mahalo Yvonne and Jerome!!

I’m a vintage car collector, and have owned several Porsches. I have to say that my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our day driving around in the fun silver Speedster “Hoku.”
We rented for a half-day, which was perfect for exploring the twisty roads of Upcountry, with enough time left over to cruise the coastline.
Jerome is very nice and easy to deal with, and delivered the Speedster to our hotel with a beautiful flower on the windshield...and then picked up the car there after we were finished. Super easy!
The car was very clean, ran perfectly, sounded great, and would be easy to drive for anyone who can handle a stick shift.
More than a few people in other cars took pictures of us as we drove past. You don’t get that with the typical rent a car.
We will be telling our friends and family to be sure to enjoy the Speedster experience the next time they are on Maui.

I cannot say enough about Jerome and his absolutey genuine and helpful personality. He was amazing to work with, providing guides, maps, details, tips, and more about where to go and what to see on our driving experience. He even had what places might be closed or open for us! Driving the gorgeous blue '57 Porsche Roadster around Maui was great fun! Very easy to operate and shift and great handling. So many people wanted to talk to us about the car! It definitely stands out. If you're not familiar with driving a manual, you probably shouldn't do this adventure, but if you are, it's great fun. It really immerses you in Hawaii, with no top and a tiny windshield, you feel like you're really in it. Again, Jerome was great to work with, from picking it up to returning it. He probably answers the same questions about Maui all day long, but never made it seem that way. The cars are in great shape and you can tell how passionate they are about their business, really valuing each customer. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique experience driving around Maui.

We had a wonderful time with Maui Roadsters. We rented the blue Porsche Speedster for the full day and drove around the upcountry route. We very much enjoyed the route recommendations and the car itself - made for an incredible day!
We would definitely recommend and rent from them again.

This experience really made our trip. They were so easy to book and communicate with. The car was dropped off at resort on time, they provided great driving routes ( we did the upcountry drive) and they provided a great overview of the car. The car was in perfect shape and so fun to drive. Truly an experience of a life time.
I recommend this to anyone looking for a fun filled day exploring Maui.

We had such an amazing time driving the classic Speedster around Maui (we opted for a hybrid trip of Up Country and the Road to Hana). Jerome and Yvonne are delightful, knowledgeable, and very helpful in planning the perfect day and road trip. The driving experience was super fun and surprisingly more comfortable than we expected (I'm a big guy and fit nicely both in the cockpit and as a passenger. We smiled from ear to ear on every turn and the whole day, and those smiles come back instantly as soon as we think about that day. I can't recommend Maui Roadsters highly enough, nor thank Yvonne and Jerome enough for the amazing experience. Mahalo!!!

Yvonne and Jerome were super understanding and patient when I had to rebook Ms/ Pele (the red Porsche) twice due to the pandemic. From the moment we arrived, we felt like VIPs and the cars were gorgeous gems. We mostly needed Pele for a photo shoot but alas, it rained heavily during the hours. We tried our best to dry out the inside with paper towels since putting the cover on didn't stop the rain from entering. They were more than understanding and kind. Great times, great service and great people! Thank you Yvonne and Jerome!

My wife and I are intrigued by the idea of renting a speedster for the drive out to Hana. We are both quite proficient in driving manuals, but we’re also a bit intimidated by the twists and turns of the road to Hana. Have many of your customers done that drive? What has the feedback been? How stiff is the clutch engagement for a 3hr stop-and-go drive?
Written April 16, 2018
Aloha Andrew! The Road to Hana is our most popular driving route and many of our customers say a Speedster is the best way to do it. Our Speedsters have manual everything - transmission, brakes, steering - so you are fully engaged with the road and aware of each of those 600+ twists and turns. The drive to Hana is an exhilarating three hours each way without stopping and the clutch is moderate. The Road to Hana is all about the journey, not the destination, so we recommend lots of stops along the way at the many overlooks, waterfalls, beaches, roadside stands, etc. so you'll have plenty of opportunities to stretch your legs. Please give us a call at 808-339-6204 with any questions or you can book a full day rental online.

Hi, I plan to rent something exotic during my stay in Maui. I'd love to drive a 1957 Roadster as that is the year of my birth. However, there will be three (3) ladies on this trip. Do you have something for 3 ladies? Thank you.
Written March 29, 2018
Aloha Judy,
Thank you for your interest in renting one of our 1957 Porsche 356 Speedster reproductions during your visit to Maui. Our Speedsters seat two people, so for a party of three you will need to rent two or three Speedsters to accommodate all three ladies. Please note that all our Speedsters have manual transmissions so drivers must be proficient driving a stick (own one or have driven one frequently). Feel free to email us (address on website) or call 808-339-6204 with any questions. Mahalo!

I'm quite tall (6'5) and concerned I may not actually fit in one of these roadsters (for example, I do not fit in a Mazda Miata). Do your tall guests have problems in these vehicles?
Written May 18, 2016
Thank you for your inquiry. Our Speedsters have accommodated guests up to 6'6" but it's a good idea to stop by our garage to see if you feel comfortable before you rent. Hoku, our silver Speedster, has the most leg room and you should avoid Lani (ivory) which has a larger steering wheel and is a tight fit for taller drivers. Please give us a call at 808-339-6204 with any questions.

Aloha, though I'm an old car nut, I don't drive stick shift and would love to learn how. Would I have an opportunity to learn to drive stick for this tour?
Written May 1, 2016
These are probably not the cars to learn to drive stick on. And there is a decent bit of traffic around Kihei which you'd be driving in and out of at beginning and end of your day. That would be stressful/difficult if you don't know how to use a clutch.If you have a friend at home with stick, try a couple outings and see how you do before you go.
