Travel according to your plans
In La Réunion, renting a car is the most practical way to explore the island at your own pace. Public transport is limited and does not always reach remote areas. With a rental car, you can easily access hiking starting points such as those leading into the Mafate Cirque, or drive to the Piton de la Fournaise, one of the island’s most iconic sites.
From Saint-Pierre to the beaches of the West, through mountain roads and lush cirques, our Tropicar agencies give you the freedom to travel across the island’s diverse road network with complete ease.
And to start your stay smoothly, nothing is more convenient than picking up your vehicle directly at Roland Garros Airport as soon as you arrive in La Réunion.
