Rental cars in Tahiti from $47

There’s something to be said for traveling like a free spirit. But sometimes you’ve just got to know what direction you’re taking. Before you hop in your rental car and hurtle down the road, you should know something about Tahiti. You’ll need to book a plane ticket to French Polynesia to make it to this wonderful destination.

We’ve compiled our top tips and tricks to help you save on a car rental:

• Look into as many different bargain deals as you can (we make that task child’s play!);
• Arrange an email Price Drop Alert for your next exciting vacation destination. You never know what sensational bargains will zoom straight into your inbox;
• Include both airport and non-airport pickup and drop-off locations to ensure you’re bagging the best possible offer in town;
• If your vacation dates are not carved in stone, see if you can get a lower price by switching up the days in your search;
• No one likes being charged a late fee. Avoid the stress of having to pay for an extra day by ensuring your pickup and drop-off times are around the same time;
• Sometimes companies reward you big time for prepaying — keep an eye open for these offers;
• And finally, lock in your booking as soon as you can to grab a truckload of savings!

Don’t restrict your adventuring to the urban centers. Tahiti boasts some breathtaking scenery, such as sandy shores, tablelands, and valleys. A set of wheels like a convertible will help you discover them in style. These rental vehicles are ideal for those eager to appreciate the views with the top rolled down. Who doesn’t love the sensation of the wind through their hair?

You’ll be glad to know that there’s a great range of both economy and luxury rentals in Tahiti. What you go for is largely dependent on what you’re willing to spend as well as what you plan to do. Specialty vehicles are all about mod cons and comfort. If you’re splurging, why not go for an elite SUV, or perhaps a fancy mid-sized vehicle? On the other hand, if you just need a car to whiz around town in at the cheapest price possible, maybe go for an economy compact vehicle (or something else that won’t burn a hole in your wallet).

Most of the time, your rental car company will bill the amount detailed on the fine to your credit card, including local surcharges and taxes. Or they may share your contact details with local authorities, who’ll then send a fine straight to you.
