What is the most popular rental car category in French Polynesia?

Minis are the smallest vehicle available for rent, and they're often the most cost-efficient to run as well. This is exactly what makes them such a favorite with travelers to French Polynesia. Whiz around the streets of Faaa and Papeete — you'll be amazed at the parking spaces you can squeeze into. Despite their small size, minis offer a comfortable ride (just so long as you don't have too many cases!).

Of course, French Polynesia boasts plenty of valleys, sandy shores, and coastal plains. Many adventurers skip town to take in these glorious vistas. If that sounds good to you, rent an SUV or a full-size car. Even if you don't think you'll take the path less traveled, you'll be grateful for the extra room.

Should I get a luxury rental car in French Polynesia?

Sometimes it's all about the journey, which makes choosing the right car important. If you're planning an unforgettable road trip around French Polynesia, a roomy SUV could be the ideal solution. If you want the cheapest possible price and plan on doing a lot of city driving, an economy car is hard to beat. All you have to do is decide what'll suit you best, pack up the car, and start clocking up those miles.
