Posted in Articles Friday, December 9, 2016 by Amy S.
During our first visit in Moorea, French Polynesia in 1994, we rented a car from a local business for half a day, we circled the island on the ring road and has a great feel for the life of the island during our last four trips to Moorea, we rented a car for our stay This is not the norm among tourists most stations, including the famous Hilton Moorea Lagoon Resort Spa arrange transfers paid to customers , which is certainly handy But if you want to be independent, consider renting a car for at least a few days of your stay.
Answers to common questions about car rentals in Moorea, French Polynesia.
Renting a car is not cheap Moorea Prices fluctuate, so check out a few websites before booking your rental, I would say that the average cost is about 400 week we have always dealt with Avis and had no problem at all would book online ahead of time and check with your insurance company and credit card on the Collision Damage Waiver coverage to make sure you are covered in case of an accident Bring a hard copy your reservation.
If your rental is Avis, walk just across the harbor street and you will see the small outpost Be patient as agent makes your documents and your car is prepared for you Remember, you are on holiday However, before driving away, make sure your agent makes note of any scratches or existing damage.
Most cars available for rent in Moorea are tiny and may not be large enough to accommodate a family of four and their bags We always take the second to the smaller car and has enough room for three of us barely and we pack our bags and lightly enough if you have a large family, make sure that the car you book is big enough for all of you and your bags.
Should I rent a car at Papeete airport in Tahiti.
One year, we rented a car in Papeete airport and paid to transport the car on the ferry to Moorea Aremetti The cost savings were negligible, but we did save the cost of transfers to and from the Papeete airport to the ferry port.
In the past, it was impossible to book the ferry online, but now it is, this option is more attractive because you can reserve space for your car in advance, however, my advice would be to wait and pick up your car at Moorea to avoid possible mishaps.
There are some gas stations on the island of Moorea including one near the ferry and another near the airport, but be aware that they are fulfilling our car will remain open all night card machines and credit does not always work We always at the gas station immediately adjacent to the car rental office Notices Rarely work the credit card machine.
Note that gas is sold by the liter gallon in Moorea not sure you fill your car with the right kind of fuel, because some cars could be most diesel gas stations also sell cold drinks, baguettes fresh during parts of the day and snacks.
It depends on your family If you plan to make daily excursions on reserved tours or you do not want to leave your resort, you do not need a car if you want to explore the island, stock up on groceries at large supermarket port called Champion, visit local food trucks or less expensive restaurants, you should rent a car, at least for a few days if you are like my family and want independence and like to eat dinner outside of the resort on most nights, rent a car stay.
