I did a Google search but I can't find anything for air-cooled VW rentals in the Hawai'ian Islands. I thought Berg had Bus rentals but maybe I'm thinking of some other location...?

I'm specifically looking for Maui but if there's a rental on another island and the car could be transported over I'd consider it. Just one day, maybe two. BTW, what is the cost to transport a car from one isle to the next? Is it by ferry or ???

Is anyone willing to rent their Type III or Type II (in a pinch a convertible Karmann Ghia) or know someone who would? It would need to be reliable and in really good condition -- I wouldn't want to do any road-side repairs Laughing Feel free to IM me if you'd consider it but don't want to broadcast it to the whole world (I can get air-cooled references if you need 'em Pray ).

This is not an immediate need, I just need to know for planning.

Update

I wasn't able to find anything for classic, air-cooled dubs but I did find Maui Roadsters and after checking them out I rented Hoku for 1 and a half days...or actually a 1/2 day on my wedding day and a full day for the day after our wedding Dancing

I was over the moon driving her, such fun, and the pretty much all VW under the skin (1951cc engine, yeah baby!). Even my [now] wife wasn't sure about a day in the hot, humid sun in an "old car" would be, however, afterwards she said she loved it...and the smile on her face the whole day was proof.

Did both on a prior trip, however, we used a tour bus and are glad we did. Our Hana driver was a VW drag racer! Lucky me! It was a dedicated, very high-powered Bug. So he's driving the bus, teetering on cliffs, squeezing past stupid drivers, deep in conversation with me while my then-fiancé was sure I was going to distract him into our doom Laughing It was a memorable trip and he was a great person.
