# Established Maui Car Rental Business & Auto Dealer License — $299,000
**International Investors Welcome | Potential E-2 Investor Visa Opportunity | Motivated Sellers**
Have you ever dreamed of living in Hawaii while owning your own business?
After more than 25 years of operating an established car rental company on the beautiful island of Maui, we're ready to retire from the car rental industry and pass our business on to someone new.
This business has been a big part of our family's life. It has allowed us to raise our children on Maui, enjoy the island lifestyle, and build relationships with customers from around the world. We're proud of what we've created and would love to see someone else take over and build on what we've started.
We're offering an established business with an existing rental fleet, a fully equipped automotive facility, an experienced team, and the systems needed to continue operations.

## More Than Just a Car Rental Business
One of the advantages of this business is the flexibility of its existing setup.
In addition to operating as a car rental company, this business already holds a Hawaii motor vehicle dealer license.
This creates an opportunity for a buyer interested in exploring used vehicle sales, combining car rentals with a dealership, or developing other automotive services.
The existing commercial location, automotive lift, garage, and vehicle washing area provide a foundation for these possibilities, subject to applicable licensing, zoning, and lease approvals.
For someone interested in entering the automotive industry in Hawaii, acquiring an established operation may save considerable time and startup costs compared with building everything from scratch.
## Opportunity for International Investors — Potential E-2 Visa
We welcome inquiries from international buyers who are interested in owning a business and potentially relocating to Maui.
For eligible investors from countries that have an E-2 treaty with the United States, purchasing an established operating business may be worth exploring as part of an E-2 Treaty Investor Visa application.
**We are flexible with the sale structure and open to either:**
- **Corporation Sale:** Acquisition of the existing corporation, subject to legal, financial, and tax review.
- **Asset Sale:** Purchase of the rental fleet, equipment, established business name, website, customer relationships, operating systems, and other agreed assets.
We understand that international buyers may have different investment and immigration requirements, and we're willing to discuss a purchase structure that works for both parties.
An E-2 visa is not guaranteed by purchasing the business. Buyers should consult a qualified U.S. immigration attorney to determine their eligibility.
## Growth and Expansion Opportunities
This business has operated through many changes in Maui's tourism industry over the past 25 years.
Like many local businesses, we were significantly affected by the 2023 Lahaina wildfires and the changes in visitor demand that followed. We adjusted our operations and reduced the size of our rental fleet to adapt to the market.
We believe this may present an opportunity for a new owner to acquire an established business during a slower period and position it for future growth.
Potential opportunities include:
- Expanding the rental fleet as demand allows.
- Increasing direct online reservations through digital marketing.
- Expanding into used car sales through the existing dealership operation, subject to applicable approvals.
- Exploring additional automotive services using the existing garage and equipment.
The business already has the location, infrastructure, brand recognition, and operating systems that would otherwise take time and investment to establish.
Future growth will depend on market conditions, investment, and the new owner's business strategy.
## Why We're Selling
Our reason for selling is simple: **after more than 25 years, we're ready for a new chapter in our lives.**
This business has given our family a wonderful life on Maui. We've worked hard, met incredible people, and enjoyed the freedom that comes with owning our own business.
Now we're ready to step away from the car rental industry, spend more time with family, and focus on new personal projects.
We're grateful for everything this business has provided and would love to see the business continue under someone who is excited about its future.
We're motivated to sell, open to reasonable offers, and flexible about how the sale is structured.
We are also happy to provide training and assistance during the transition to help the new owner become familiar with the business.
## Asking Price — $299,000 USD
The asking price includes approximately $200,000+ in tangible assets, along with the established business brand, customer relationships, website, online reservation system, equipment, and other agreed assets.
We welcome serious inquiries from financially qualified buyers, both within the United States and internationally.
Detailed asset information, historical financial statements, and additional operational information are available to qualified buyers under a confidentiality agreement.
