Top tips for renting a car in Fiji
- There are several benefits of renting a car in Fiji, the greatest one being the freedom to explore the islands. Getting around the islands with public transportation is time-consuming and is less flexible than traveling in your own rental car. Renting a car is a lot cheaper than relying on expensive taxis.
- If you are leaving your hotel, where parking is usually free, you will find several parking options in Fiji. In the town of Suva, parking is regulated but spaces are limited because the town is busy. There are many paid parking lots in major towns, which charge hourly rates of around 1 USD (2.14 FDJ).
- You will find that traffic is much heavier around the larger towns of Suva and Nadi and that there are many speed bumps along the inner-city roads. The majority of Fiji’s roads are found on the islands of Viti Levu and Vanua Levu, and are ideal for exploring by car or four-wheel drive vehicle. There are no highways on Fiji, and all the road signs are in English.
- Before you explore the islands of Fiji, you need to find out if your rental vehicle is suitable for some of the roads. If you want to discover Viti Levu’s inland gravel roads, you will need a four-wheel drive, and you will have to check with your car rental company to see if you can drive your car around the highlands. You could also check to see if the rental company allows you to take the car onto the roll-on, roll-off ferries to Taveuni, Vanua Levu, or Ovalau.
