Hurricane Kiko isn’t forecast to be a strong storm, but here in Maui, even smaller systems can bring heavy rain, flash flooding, and power outages. At Kihei Rent A Car, we want both our residents and visitors to enjoy the island safely—so let’s get prepared together.
Travelers, here are a few tips to keep in mind:
Stay informed: Sign up for MEMA alerts and download the Genasys Protect app so you’ll have evacuation routes and hazard updates at your fingertips.
Pack a mini go-bag: Keep essentials like snacks, water, phone chargers, medications, cash, and your important travel documents in one place.
Think about your rental car: Many condos in Kihei are located in flood-prone areas. If heavy rain is expected, be ready to move your rental car out of South Maui flood zones to higher, safer ground. We’re happy to suggest safer parking spots if you need guidance.
Listen to local advice: Whether it’s hotel staff, emergency alerts, or county updates, always follow the most current information.
Even though Kiko is expected to remain mild, preparation gives you peace of mind and keeps your vacation stress-free. From all of us at Kihei Rent A Car—stay safe, stay ready, and enjoy Maui.
