We had an absolutely amazing experience! This was our first time doing car camping on vacation vs a hotel and at first I was a little weary, but honestly I don’t think you should experience Maui any other way. It’s was a magical time. Ed was SUPER helpful! He was always quick to respond before during and after the trip, gave us recommendations and even helped save us some money with pickup! The pickup process was so easy, didn’t take much explaining for the tent setup, honestly renting this convinced us to buy our own pop up tent for our vehicle! I’m glad we went with an independent renter vs a company, if I could give 10 stars I would! Thank you so much Ed! And Alohaaa🤙🏻

We had planned on driving the road to Hana and camping at the State Park so we needed a camper. Renting this vehicle from Ed worked out great. We chose to pick up and drop off. Upon arrival , Ed was very friendly and gave a clear, concise explanation and demonstration on how to use the roofnest and the details of the vehicle. The roofnest was really so easy to set up and put back together, just a matter of minutes. We then loaded up and headed out. The vehicle handled great on the curving roads and we always felt secure knowing we had 4 wheel drive in case a muddy situation arose. Overnight when sleeping in the roofnest it did rain, but we stayed nice and dry. This was the prefect rental for our trip, I would definitely recommend.

This was our first time using outdoorsy and what an amazing experience it was. I cannot recommend Ed enough for his hospitality and his genuine care for creating an enjoyable experience for his guests.

Ed was awesome to us and we truly enjoyed our use of the Land Rover with the tent on top during our adventure in Maui! It is spacious and comfortable and Ed takes great care of each detail to your needs while you rent. Mahalo!

Our experience is unique. We came back home for my mother’s funeral and I refused to stay anywhere unless it was close to my dad and his house. Like most Ohana we all stayed with our grieving dad and my husband and I opted to rent the Land Rover with this wonderful pop up tent and other optional accessories and items that really made a worry free stay for us. We parked it in the driveway and basically used this as a place to sleep. It was a nice hideaway after the hustle and bustle of each day’s events. Even with 30 mph winds and rains in Upcountry, we were protected from the elements. We also got an extra cooler, sleeping bags, towels and beach chairs which came in handy for pa’ina or backyard bbqs we had each day. We opted for airport pickup and drop off which was well worth it. Ed was a great host and took a lot of time to teach us how to put up and take down the tent. The vehicle itself was clean and comfortable for our family to drive around. It was not an issue to put up or take down the tent in literally minutes in order to drive the Land Rover around. AC works great of course.

This was our first trip to Maui and Ed’s Rover was an easy choice for us, hands down the best way to experience the island. Pick up and drop off of the vehicle were very easy and flexible.
Ed was awesome to deal with and was available throughout our trip to answer any questions or concerns.
The Rover and Roofnest were a perfect combo, awesome vehicle to explore the island and as mentioned it was nice to not feel like a labelled tourist. The tent was very easy to set up and very comfortable. The ad on camping gear completed the set up and everything we needed was loaded up and ready in the Rover.
Amazing trip we would definitely do it all over again, an Maui speaks for itself.

Driving Ed’s camper was a great experience ! It made our road to Hana trip easy and enjoyable , especially for all the curves and weather conditions we faced. It couldn’t have been better! Ed was an amazing host , flexible and friendly.

We had the most wonderful adventure with the Land Rover and hardshell camper on Maui. Not only did we save money by combining our housing and car rental, we had an adventure for 60+ couple. We traveled the whole island. We stayed up on the volcano mountain at 11,000 ft at 40+ degrees, but on Cliffs on ocean on Hana Rd, and last a beach. The 4 wheel drive helped on Hana Rd and to get to beach. Ed was so gracious in getting us all we needed for trip. We took chairs, generator, and ice chest extra from him. Ed was available by phone or text. We sent him pics as we went, too. His availability made it easier as it was first time to visit Maui. We ate one meal a day at a restaurant, and went to grocery store for breakfast Danish and Frappuccino, and ate healthy and non healthy snacks for dinner. Since it got dark by 6 pm, we wanted to find a spot and set up. Also picked up fruit on roadside parks. If you do this, I recommend downloading Gypsy Guide for Maui with Hanna Rd. This is a travel GPS guide that helps you around the island for attraction, history, and eats. We pulled off the road on each night we camped at no cost. It is expensive to stay in State and National Parks, and reservations needed way in advance. Lots of pull outs that do not have No Trespassing Signs or a gate to a residence or ranch. Also adds to spontaneous travel. Divide island into the days you want to travel. This helps in keeping you in an area within the attraction list to be seen. Hana Rd. will take a full day from sun up to sundown to see and participate in the beauty, drive, and getting out to look at botanical gardens, beaches, and waterfalls. Going to the top of the volcano mountain can also take almost a day.
Cons to Maui and camping for us was having a hard time finding a bathroom. Most bathrooms were not available even if you bought a meal or an item. So bring toilet paper with you but please do not litter and dispose when trash cans available. No showers available even at beaches as we saw on the other islands. So bring deodorant and maybe wet wipes. We turned in the camper the night before we were to leave, and rented a hotel room to take a shower before we flew back to Texas.
Pro: Maui is beautiful. Get out and see the island and have an adventure. Get a bucket list of must sees, then take an adventure. Ed made everything easy and we highly recommend.

WOW! What an incredible way to visit Maui! The Range Rover was absolutely perfect for the entire island. The roofnest was easy to pop-up and very comfortable! Our host, Ed, was awesome. He was waiting at the airport to drop-off the vehicle at the airport the moment we landed. He was very helpful, friendly, and knows the island well. I got confused with some of our dates and times when I reserved due to the time zone changes. Ed was very flexible, accomodating and understanding with my several change requests (dumb me!). We added some of his extras like beach chairs, cooking stove, snorkels and the like, which were perfect! We returned the vehicle with him at the airport before our flight which was 100% smooth sailing! If we ever make our way back to Maui, we will definitely be in touch with Ed again!

What an awesome experience! The Rover was perfect for exploring Maui and Ed was an awesome host. Ed was a super responsive, helpful guy who made sure we had everything we needed for our trip, from chargers to speakers, lights & beyond. The car itself was perfect for road to hana - 4-wheel drive, small enough to feel comfortable on winding roads, but big enough to fit camping gear. The gas mileage was great too. The tent was super easy to set up and tear down which made for easy early morning adventures. 100% would recommend

The Range Rover that Ed provided was a perfect fit for this island! This car is a beast. Sleeping on top of it was very practical and comfortable as well. We were provided with everything we needed during our trip. If I‘ll come to Maui again… this is what I‘ll pick again.

Ed was super responsive, helpful and friendly. A wonderful person to deal with overall. We found the bed super comfortable and the vehicle itself spacious and comfy. This vehicle had everything we needed from great AC to a fm transmitter. The tent set up was very quick and easy and we were prepared with bedding, chairs and stove from Ed. Would 100% recommend. This vehicle handles well wherever you want to take it.

Signing up for Lyft was outrageous, we used the taxi to pick up vehicle which was reasonable, we had to figure out the roofnest but watched a video by roofnest owners which was helpful, maybe Ed would consider referring information from roofnest especially for 1st timers like us, we definitely would refer or suggest to friends or family as an alternative to Hotel or those that wants to venture something different, later I'll send photos and make comments if there's a big difference in savings...
