Car rental in Trois-Bassins

Between a wild coastline and sweeping views from the Highlands, Trois-Bassins offers a true diversity of landscapes. It’s also a quiet town, still preserved from mass tourism. To explore all its facets, renting a car is the best option.

A territory of striking contrasts

Trois-Bassins stretches from the ocean up to the summit of Grand Bénare, one of the island’s highest peaks. This nearly 3,000-meter elevation gain allows you to move within just a few kilometers from the beaches of Souris Chaude and Souris Blanche to the cryptomeria forests of the Highlands. With a Tropicar rental car, you can easily access the forest road linking the Maïdo to the Tévelave forest, or enjoy a picnic surrounded by nature in the Tamarinaie.

A rural charm and a rich history

Perched at almost 800 meters above sea level, the town of Trois-Bassins immerses you in the atmosphere of La Réunion’s Highlands. You’ll find Creole houses, breathtaking viewpoints over the West Coast, and a history shaped by coffee and geranium cultivation as well as the life of the first settlers. A stroll through the narrow streets of the village gives you a deeper sense of this once-isolated land, proud of its traditions.

Freedom to explore on your own terms

Whether you want to take hiking trails toward La Glacière, set up an impromptu bivouac in the forest, or head down in the late afternoon to the surf spot at Trois-Bassins Point to admire the sunset, having a car gives you the freedom to design your own route. It’s also the perfect chance to continue on to nearby towns such as Saint-Leu or Cilaos.

Renting a car with Tropicar in La Réunion gives you the independence to experience Trois-Bassins at your own pace, with complete freedom.
