(AP) — Demand for rental cars on Maui is slowing down after a shortage of vehicles sent prices soaring when more tourists returned amid the pandemic. The Maui News reports parked vehicles have been filling fields near the airport as the number of tourists declined in September and daily car rentals dropped slightly. Maui Car Rentals manager Kali’i Oliveira says vehicles booked up quickly in April and May. He says the company has about 20 to 30 cars sitting around. Meanwhile, prices are going down as the demand slows.
