Top tips for hiring a car in Tahiti

  • Those hiring a car in Tahiti will usually have to pay a deposit or hire fee at the time of their booking in the case of any accidental damage. Whilst this policy may differ amongst companies, it is very common. In addition to this cost, you may also be subject to a charge for pre-paid fuel. As an alternative to this pre-paid fuel option, a company might request that you match the amount of fuel that was first issued with the hire car. Petrol stations are limited in Tahiti, so it’s best to fill up your tank whenever you get the chance.
  • Whilst there are a variety of suitable companies that offer hire cars, most of the locations will be found at Faa'a International Airport, also known as Tahiti International Airport (PPT). Offices and information desks will usually be found within the arrivals terminal before you exit the airport. The appropriate locations to pick up your car hire will generally be outside the arrivals terminal, and this is usually where you’ll return your vehicle as well.
  • When driving around Tahiti, it may be possible that you will need to make use of the ferry, which operates daily between Tahiti and other locations, like Moorea. This ferry carries up to 146 vehicles. Times are subject to change, depending on which day of the week that you travel, but passengers can expect the ability to travel seven days a week. Price is also another factor that’s subject to change, depending on the duration and which boat you take. An approximate cost for a 30-45min journey is F1,160 (£8.31).
  • A hire car in Tahiti can usually only be secured when you show the appropriate documents at the time of collection. Whilst companies might differ in their requirements, you will always have to show a full and valid driving licence and at least one other legitimate form of identification. An appropriate example of suitable identification is a passport; this passport must be valid for at least the duration of your time in Tahiti.
