Booking a car rental in Tahiti, French Polynesia’s largest island, gives you the chance to dig a little deeper and discover incredible hidden gems that most others never bother to look for. The freedom to come and go as you please will have you experiencing French Polynesia the way it’s meant to be.
The South Pacific has many wondrous tropical paradises but it’s fair to say that French Polynesia encompasses more than its share of them. Destinations like Tahiti, Mo’orea and Bora Bora could each stand on their own as a nation’s crown gem, but French Polynesia is lucky enough to include them all. Visitors are truly spoiled for choice when planning a trip here, and whether you’re seeking the deluxe resort life or a more grounded (and more wallet friendly) stay at locally owned and operated establishments, you’re sure to find a perfect setting for the tropical holiday of your dreams.
One of the first things on your checklist when you land in the country will be picking up you car rental from Tahiti’s main airport: Fa'a'ā International Airport. Booking online ahead of time means you should have minimal hassles when it comes to the pick up, and to avoid hassle during the booking process you can search for the best rental deal via GoSee. No need to trawl through endless rental supplier websites - GoSee brings all the greatest deals together so you can easily compare and choose.
To get the booking process on the road, all you need to do is plug a few basic details about your travel itinerary into the GoSee search tool. Once you’ve entered points like the required time and location for pick up and drop off, you’ll be presented with a list of vehicles from different suppliers that match your specs. If you’d like to be a bit more specific, you can then filter these results by rental brand, vehicle type, and other categories. Once you’ve found the right deal for you and are ready to book, the actual booking part of the process will be finished in a matter of minutes.
There are a number of different ways to start your vacation in French Polynesia, but all of them will begin with flying in to Fa'a'ā International Airport on Tahiti. From there you might choose to catch a connecting flight to islands like Bora Bora or Mo’orea and pick up a car rental for your French Polynesia holiday there.
Three different car hire suppliers operate in French Polynesia, giving you a decent selection when it comes to picking a Tahiti car rental in particular. Europcar, Hertz and Avis all have car rental offerings here, which means you get to select from some of the most well known rental brands on the planet.
One of the main things to take into account when driving in French Polynesia is that drivers here use the right hand side of the road. This is the same as many other countries around the world, but for British and Australasian visitors, it might take a little bit of adjusting to. As long as you pay attention at intersections though, the change shouldn’t throw you too much. When it comes to speed limits, 40 km/h is the default limit in built up areas and 80 km/h on the open road. The freeway allows slightly faster travel, but always keep an eye out for signs which will let you know exactly what the limit is. When it comes to drinking and driving, French Polynesia has a blood alcohol limit of 0.05% - essentially, if you’re planning on indulging in a drink or two, rope someone else in to take care of driving duties. In order to be eligible to drive here, you need to be carrying a valid driver’s licence from your home country.
