Car rental Réunion

Take a Trip Around the Island

Exploring Réunion in a rental car is the best way to admire the mesmerizing landscapes of the island. The diversity in landscapes ranges from white and black sand beaches, to mountains and active volcanoes, bursting waterfalls, and opulent forests. Key sights include Piton de la Fournaise, Cirque de Cilaos, and L’Ermitage Beach.

Mobility and Traffic Rules

While exploring Réunion, remember to drive on the right side of the road. Seatbelts are mandatory for all passengers and don't forget to carry your driving license. The general speed limit in urban areas is 50 km/h, and on national roads is 90 km/h. Always adhere to the traffic rules to ensure a safe journey.

Car Rental Recommendations

A compact car is ideal for city drives, while an SUV would be best if you plan to explore the rugged terrains. The dense vegetation and mountainous terrain warrant a vehicle that can handle off-road conditions.

Local Cuisines to Try

Réunion's Creole cuisine is a flavorful blend of French, African, and Indian influences. Must-try dishes include 'cari poulet', 'rougail saucisse', and the island’s own beer Bourbon, fondly called Dodo.

Climate and Best Time to Visit

Réunion Island experiences a warm, tropical climate throughout the year. May to November is the dry season, which is ideal for hiking, while the summer months (December to April) are perfect for beach activities.
