Where to rent a vehicle in La Réunion?

Car rental agency at Roland Garros Airport

As the island’s main gateway, Roland Garros Airport welcomes thousands of travelers every day. Located in the north, the Saint-Denis Roland Garros Airport handles the majority of international flights to La Réunion.


Renting a car as soon as you arrive at our airport agency is the best option to start your holiday road trip in La Réunion.

Pierrefonds Airport, located near Saint-Pierre in the south of the island, mainly serves regional flights. It usually handles domestic flights and a few routes to neighboring islands in the Indian Ocean. You might, however, have the opportunity to pass through Saint-Pierre Pierrefonds Airport to catch a flight with one of our partners. The Pierrefonds area also offers several leisure activities and sightseeing opportunities, which you can discover on our dedicated Saint-Pierre page.

City center rental agencies

Some travelers prefer to rent a car from a city agency. Tropicar welcomes you to our agencies in Saint-Gilles-les-Bains and Sainte-Marie La Mare, open Monday to Friday.

A large number of cruise passengers make a “stopover in paradise” in La Réunion, and our Tropicar Saint-Gilles-les-Bains agency is the closest to the island’s eastern port.


This agency, located close to the island’s most beautiful lagoon, is also ideal for travelers with shorter or more flexible needs. Vacations in La Réunion can be packed with activities, and some visitors may want to dedicate part of their stay to exploring the island through sports and outdoor adventures. In that case, you have the option of returning your rental car at one of our three agencies while you head off on your trek, and picking it up again later.

On foot or by bike, on the road or along hiking trails, the possibilities in La Réunion are endless! Feel free to ask our agents for advice, or check out our partners page to find the must-do activities.

Where can I pick up my rental car?

Once you’ve booked your car rental in La Réunion, simply go to one of our three Tropicar agencies. You can pick up your vehicle at the Roland Garros Airport agency, the Tropicar Sainte-Marie agency, or the Tropicar Saint-Gilles-les-Bains agency.

At the end of your rental, you are free to return your car to any of these three locations, whichever is most convenient for you. Wherever you go, you’ll always be welcomed with the same smile and benefit from the same reliable service and guarantees.


Open from Monday to Sunday, the Roland Garros Airport agency allows you to pick up your rental car as soon as you step off the plane. The Tropicar counter is located just a few meters from the terminal. One of our agents will then accompany you, contract in hand, to your chosen vehicle in the parking lot. After carefully completing the departure inspection checklist together, your vacation can officially begin!

How to rent a car in La Réunion with Tropicar?
The Tropicar agency follows the same regulations as any other rental company. To rent a vehicle in La Réunion, you must be at least 21 years old. Certain car categories may require a minimum age of 23 or 25. You must also hold a valid driver’s license for at least one year.

When signing the rental contract, you’ll be asked to provide a valid ID in the name of the designated driver, an accepted method of payment, and proof of address dated within the last three months.
