When to book a car hire in Noumea
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.
