Car rental in Petite-Île

Between Saint-Pierre and Saint-Joseph, nestled in the heart of the typical farming landscapes of the Sud Sauvage, the town of Petite-Île truly lives up to its name. It charms visitors with its gentle pace of life, rural setting, and an iconic natural site: Grande Anse beach. To fully enjoy its highlights, often spread out across the area, renting a car with Tropicar is the best option.

Between sea and hills: variety at your fingertips

Grande Anse beach is undoubtedly one of the island’s most photogenic spots. Easily reached by car, it’s the perfect setting for a picnic, a stroll, or simply a moment of relaxation under the coconut trees. The rock-enclosed pool also allows for safe swimming. From the beach, a short trail leads to Piton de Grande Anse, offering a stunning viewpoint over the bay and the famous islet that gave the town its name.

Discover the Highlands in total freedom

With a vehicle, you can quickly head up into the Highlands of Petite-Île to reach places like Domaine du Relais or the Mare forest. These cool, green areas are ideal for gentle hikes, family outings, or a Creole-style lunch in the picnic shelters provided. Trails such as the Cap de Petite-Île or Piton Calvaire also reward you with spectacular views of the island’s southern coast.

A rural and authentic identity

Petite-Île is also well known for its farming heritage: garlic, strawberries, sugar cane, citrus fruits… Every month, the local market on Vieux Moulin square is the perfect place to taste these products. In October, the Garlic Festival brings the whole village to life - a highlight not to be missed. With your Tropicar rental car, you can explore every corner of this authentic town and extend your discovery to the surrounding Highlands or nearby towns like Saint-Pierre.
