Vanuatu Car Rental

Car rental in Vanuatu offers a good choice of companies

There are several ways to travel around Vanuatu. You can go by foot, by car, or by boat. You can even go by bus, taxi, or scooter. However, if there is anywhere that you want to go that is of good distance, Vanuatu car rental may be the way to get you there. Not only can you control when you get there and when it is time to get home, but you can also detour and take a look at different parts of the island without racking up a fee for a taxi.

Cars in Port Vila
You will find several Vanuatu car rental companies in Port Vila, that offer a good choice of rental cars and prices to suit many tastes, including 4WDs or SUVs - the all terrain vehicles. These can be particularly handy if you plan exploring wider Efate area on your own schedule.



Typically, you will only find Vanuatu car rentals available on Efate Island. Efate is one of the more popular islands, as well as one that is modernized and has better roads for tourists to travel. Not only do the better roads mean that it is easier to get to places, but it also means that travelers are more likely to think that they can do so.

Vanuatu car rentals include both international and local agencies from which you can choose your vehicle. Just like anywhere else, if you plan to take out a rental, or hire a car, then you will need to keep a valid license on you at all time. Your passport, on the other hand, should probably stay at the hotel in a safe location.

Vanuatu Car Rental Companies

On Efate Island, Avis, Budget Rent A Car, Discount Rentals, Laho Rent a Car, and World Car Rentals are all available. Scooters are also available for rental through the Nautilus Dive Center. In Luganville, the Santo 4WD Rental agency can also help you if you are not a guest of Hotel Santo, which only rents to those who have a bungalow or a room with them.

If you do not feel like renting a car yourself or if there are none available, you can check out any of the guided tours, which will take you to and from many of the local attractions in the area. In addition to providing transportation, your tour guide will also give you all the information that you want to know about the area.

For personal transportation, a mini-bus or a taxi can take you anywhere that you need to go. If you plan to stay close to your resort, check with them to see if they offer any sort of shuttle service that will get you to and from the airport once you arrive in Vanuatu. Although some resorts charge a fee, many include this in their hospitality for resort guests, such as Worawia resort.
