THINKUING ABOUT MAUI
VACATION
Are you planning your Maui vacation but a
bit unsure about how the vacation rental
booking process works? We’ve come up with
the following tips to help you safely book
your Maui vacation homes for rent on-line
as you explore your accommodation options
for your dream vacation on Maui.
In Maui, it is required for owners to have a Hawaii Tax ID on all listing
sites as well as in their condo. Ensure that the owner’s listing has this
license number. It will look like GE-056-906-5472-01 or TA-056-906-
5472-01.
TIP 1
TIP2
ASK FOR THE OWNER’S PHONE
NUMBER. DOES IT  MATCH THE ONE ON
THE L IST ING? MAKE SURE TO SPEAK TO
THE PERSON ON THE PHONE AND ASK
THEM ABOUT THE PROPERTY. YOU CAN
COMPARE THE DESCRIPTION WITH
ONLINE PHOTOS.
TIP3
ASK FOR THE OWNER’S L INKEDIN
PROFILE.  IT ’S HARD TO FAKE 100
BUSINESS CONTACTS. IF  THEY ARE NOT TIP4
ON L INKEDIN,  TRY FACEBOOK OR
TWITTER.
NEVER PAY VIA WIRE TRANSFER TO AN
OFF-SHORE ACCOUNT. MANY OWNERS
WILL ACCEPT CREDIT CARDS AND
CHECKS. SOME WILL DO A WIRE
TRANSFER,  BUT IF SO, MAKE SURE YOU
GET THE SWIFT CODE AND ROUTING
NUMBER, ACCOUNT NUMBER, NAME ON
THE ACCOUNT AND OF COURSE THE
BANK’S NAME. YOU CAN THEN HAVE
YOUR BANK VERIFY THE ACCOUNT AND
MAKE SURE THE NAMES MATCH.
Use the BOOK NOW button on the listing you
want to book on Vacation-Maui.com  It is the
safest way to be sure you are dealing with the
actual owner. The forms are widgets and
much harder to alter than a displayed email
address or phone number.
TIP5
TIP6
VERIFY THE OWNERSHIP WITH
VACATION RENTAL COMPANY.
TIP7
Scammers do not go through the trouble
of getting a unique website or Facebook
page for their vacation rentals. If you
see that a vacation rental has a website,
Facebook page and phone number
chances are that you’re working with the TIP8
owner.
Make sure you are given the name and
contact information of the on-island
contact. All vacation rentals in Hawaii
require an on-island contact. If the
owner lives on Oahu, but their rental is
on Maui, they need an on-island
contact.
TIP9
Check for reviews for the condo. If the website /
listing doesn’t have any ask the owner.
Tip10
The best rule of thumb, if the deal seems
too good to be true, it very well may be a
fake.
