Visit La Réunion

Renowned as one of the most beautiful islands in the world, La Réunion captivates visitors with its extraordinary natural diversity. Renting a car here is highly recommended if you want to explore the island with complete freedom.

Getting around in La Réunion

From the crashing waves to the mountain peaks, La Réunion offers such a surprising variety of landscapes that you might feel as though you’re travelling through several countries in a single trip. Nature here never ceases to amaze.

Covering an area of 2,512 km², the island can’t be fully explored on foot. Our three Tropicar agencies are here to guide you towards the island’s most beautiful destinations, with comfort-class options and a wide choice of vehicles: city cars, sedans, SUVs, or MPVs.

Exploring the island requires a means of transport suited to frequent trips and to accessing the wide range of activities available. While the local bus network is a great asset for residents, it can be limiting for visitors who want the flexibility to explore. Fixed routes and schedules can make it difficult to see everything you want during your stay.

For a more autonomous way to travel and to make the most of your trip, we recommend contacting a car rental agency – and booking early to guarantee availability.

Why choose a rental car to explore the island?

Renting a car in La Réunion is the best way to travel at your own pace – from the beaches of the West Coast to the Piton de la Fournaise, and deep into the heart of the mountains.

The island’s roads can be steep and winding, and some routes from the “lowlands” to the “highlands” – or even from north to south – are not suitable or accessible for buses. Bus timetables also vary depending on the stop, which can make planning more complicated.

By renting a car, you can avoid the constraints of public transport and take full advantage of the island’s scenery.
