Facility Overview
ABM Parking Services operates the official public parking facilities at Kahului Airport (OGG), situated at 1 Keolani Place in Kahului, Maui. As the primary gateway to the Valley Isle, this facility features expansive open-air surface parking directly situated across from the main terminal building. The open-air layout means there are no restrictive low-clearance garage ceilings, making it exceptionally accommodating for standard passenger vehicles, rental sedans, minivans, lifted 4x4 pickup trucks, full-size SUVs, and rooftop surf-rack-equipped crossovers commonly driven throughout Hawaii. Clear directional signage guides travelers through designated aisles for both short-term pick-up/drop-off visitors and long-term island hoppers or transpacific travelers.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
Positioned directly on the grounds of Kahului Airport, this parking area offers immediate walking access to the passenger terminal, ticketing counters, baggage claim, and TSA security checkpoints within a 2- to 5-minute stroll. Beyond the airport gates, the facility is central to Maui’s primary commercial district. Key nearby destinations include the Maui Arts & Cultural Center (MACC), Queen Ka\'ahumanu Center, Maui Mall Village, Kanaha Beach Park (famed for windsurfing and kiteboarding), and the nearby Costco/Target shopping centers, all located within a 5- to 10-minute drive along Keolani Place and Hana Highway.
Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Arriving at the facility is straightforward via Keolani Place or the Airport Access Road connecting directly to Hana Highway (Route 36) and Kuihelani Highway (Route 380). Vehicles entering follow clear lane markings dividing commercial shuttles, rental car return lanes, and public parking entrance gates. Ticket-dispensing gates are automated and well-lit. Exiting drivers can easily merge back onto outbound arterial roads heading towards Lahaina/Kaanapali to the west, Kihei/Wailea to the south, or Paia and the Road to Hana to the east. For local transit, Maui Bus routes serve the airport grounds, connecting passengers directly to Kahului, Upcountry, and central Maui hubs.

Visitor & Driver Tips
Take advantage of the complimentary 15-minute grace period if you are simply picking up or dropping off passengers. For long-term stays during peak travel holidays (such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, and summer breaks), parking stalls can fill up quickly; aim to arrive early to secure a space near the terminal crosswalks. Keep your entry ticket in a safe, cool spot inside your vehicle out of direct tropical sunlight to avoid heat damage to thermal parking tickets. If traveling during rush hours, factor in additional time for Hana Highway traffic when returning to Kahului.
