Top Tips for Hiring a Van in Papeete
- Driving Papeete van rentals is a wonderful way to see this coastal city on the northwest shores of Tahiti. If you are visiting this French Polynesian capital in order to visit relatives, you and all of your family members can travel together in either a passenger van or a minivan, arriving at all your destinations at the same time and making sure that you don't lose track of anyone. If you and your friends have come to Tahiti to enjoy the tropical paradise, you can take turns driving and have plenty of room for backpacks, beach paraphernalia, local goods, and souvenirs. Papeete van rentals can help ensure you get the most out of your Tahiti trip.
- Those driving Papeete van rentals are advised that Papeete experiences extreme rush hour congestion between 7 am and 9 am and then from 4 pm to 6 pm. There is pretty much one major road in Papeete, and everyone takes it. What would be a 10-minute drive at other times during the day takes a full hour in rush hour traffic. And since there are no alternate routes, try to schedule your driving time in Papeete so that you avoid being on the road during these most congested traffic times.
- One peculiarity that many renters are not prepared for is that in Tahiti, Papeete van rentals do not come with unlimited mileage, unless you specifically ask for it. Otherwise, when you return your rental van, you will be charged for every kilometer you have driven in French Polynesia. Because Tahiti is an island, and not a very large one at that, the mileage won't be terribly high, but don't be surprised by the extra charge that is tacked on when you return your rental minivan or rental passenger van in Papeete. Also, manual cars are the standard in Tahiti, so if you want an automatic, specify that when you make your reservation.
- When you fly to Tahiti to visit Papeete, you will land at the Papeete Faaa Airport (PPT). This airport makes a convenient and easy location for reserving and picking up Papeete van rentals. You can find all of the car rental counters lined up against the wall as soon as you exit customs at PPT. Several of these agencies at the airport include Papeete van rentals among their rental vehicles. Some of these agencies are Hertz, Europcar, Avis, Thrifty, keddy by Europcar and Shouqi.
FAQs About Hiring a Van in Papeete
What is the minimum age for securing Papeete van rentals?
In Papeete, you need to be at least 19 years old to rent a vehicle. However, if you are younger than 25, most Papeete car rental agencies will add a daily extra fee to your car rental contract because you are a young driver. Consider comparing different Papeete car rental agencies in order to find one that will charge the lowest fee.
What documentation is necessary for securing Papeete van rentals?
When you arrive in Papeete to pick up your van rental, make sure you have your reservation number since car rentals are incredibly popular in Papeete. You will also need to present your valid and current US driver's license, and some car rental agencies will want to see your passport as an additional form of photo ID. You will also need an internationally recognized credit card, such as MasterCard or Visa, to leave a deposit on the van and pay for the rental. Any additional drivers will also need to present a driver's license and possibly a passport.
Do I need to buy rental car insurance for my Papeete van rental?
When you make your reservation for a Papeete van rental, see what kind of insurance is included in the cost of the rental. Often, Papeete car rental agencies will include liability insurance in the cost of the rental. If you also want other kinds of insurance, such as collision, you may have to purchase that when you pick up your Papeete van rental.

Cons:
Somehow I didn’t realize I ordered a car that changed for every kilometer until I was very tired, out of time and just trying to get to my destination before dark. It ended up being about 60 USD daily on average so not too horrible. I was fortunate in that the car I’d ordered wasn’t ready (I’d gotten an earlier flight) so she graciously offered me an upgrade. On another note, the car is clearly a rental so, not sure if it was the typical island drivers or what, but I got pushed around a lot. Tailgated, almost run off the road, but I was doing the speed limit so who knows.10.0 Wonderful
