KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Noumea

  • Ideal for sightseeing, hiring a car in Noumea lets you pack everything you’ll need for a long day without the worry of carrying it from one attraction to the next. There are also plenty of hills in Noumea and getting to lookouts, such as Ouen Toro, is tiring without a hire car. It’s possible to drive to Tjibaou Cultural Centre in 15min from the centre of town, though a connection of buses usually require around 40min. Coastal attractions, including Des Lagons and Plage de l'Anse Vata, are best reached by car, as buses stop far away from the water.
  • Once you collect your luggage at La Tontouta International Airport (NOU), turn left as you exit the terminal and walk 50 m to find the reception desks for hire cars. The vehicles are only a short walk from the offices and no shuttle bus is needed to pick up your vehicle. A hire car will help save money on a long shuttle to Noumea, which is priced at roughly ₣ 3.000 (A$ 41). Sixt offers a meet and greet service at the smaller Nouméa Magenta Airport (GEA) with transfer to their off-site branch, while Point Rogue and Europcar have reception desks in the airport terminal.
  • The CBD of Noumea is designed with many one-way streets, meaning it’s wise to use GPS navigation to avoid getting lost. Roads in the city centre are well kept and smooth; however, once you start travelling to more rural locations, you’ll need to keep an eye out for potholes. There are many roundabouts throughout Noumea and you should approach them with caution and indicate when exiting or entering. New Caledonia roads are right-hand drive and it’s best to take it slowly if you are unfamiliar driving on that side.
  • Traffic is relatively calm in Noumea, yet rushes are common between 08:00–09:00 and 16:30–17:30. Major thoroughfares, including Rue Anatole France and Route Provinciale du Normandie, experience heavy congestion and will add some time to your trip.
  • If you are travelling to Nouméa and would like to take advantage of what the island of New Caledonia has to offer, it is advisable to consider getting a car. Cheap car hire in Nouméa will make up for the lack of public transport outside the city and allow you to get away in your own time. Blue River Provincial Park is best accessed by car, and within half an hour you’ll find yourself surrounded by 9,000 hectares of land ranging from rivers to rainforests to mountains.
  • If you are driving a Nouméa hire car, you should find out about the rules of the road before you go. Speed limits range from 30 km/h in cities to 50 km/h on rural country roads and 110 km/h on expressways, and it is important to stick to these speeds. There are mobile speed cameras in use and can be used anywhere, in town or in the countryside. Additionally, driving while using your phone is illegal and the fines can be hefty if you are caught. The legal limit for blood alcohol content is 0.05%, and while roadside breathalysers are sporadic, it is not worth incurring the fine if you are caught.
  • There are no toll roads in New Caledonia. Roads are usually well maintained, but outside of the urban areas, you may find that the tarred roads become narrow, winding dirt roads. These are kept to certain standards, but it is worth exercising caution when driving in these conditions. It is also important to note that there may be large distances between petrol stations or EV charging points, so be sure to plan your journey with this in mind.
  • 25% of our users found a car hire in Noumea for $82 or less
  • Mini hire cars in Noumea are around 26% cheaper than other car types, on average
