What to Look for When Comparing Car Rentals in Fiji
Location
Not all cars need to be rented from Nadi International Airport. Choose a car rental company with depots in convenient locations for you or that can deliver to your chosen resort. That way, you might not have to rent a car from day one (which will save you money)! For more money-saving tips, take a look at How to Save Money on Car Rentals in Fiji.
Prices and Inclusions
Car rental companies in Nadi have very similar basic inclusions. However, beware of some low prices advertised; it’s likely that the compulsory insurance fee is not included in the price.
Vehicles Offered
Nadi’s car rental companies tend to have a generous offering of vehicle types to suit all the road types you are likely to encounter in Fiji. Just make sure that your chosen car rental company has the 4WD that you may need to explore Viti Levu’s inland gravel and dirt roads. On the other hand, you don’t need to overdo it with an expensive car rental if you are only following the Queens or Kings Roads. For more tips on where to drive, see Is it Easy to Drive in Fiji?
Service
Once you have picked one or two car rental companies to compare, give them an email or a phone call and ask them a few questions. See how helpful they are in their answers. This little test will give you an idea of how helpful the company will be should anything go wrong during your trip.
Payment Options
Not everyone has a Visa or MasterCard credit card. If that’s the case for you, check which car rental companies accept other payment methods. We make sure to note which ones offer more than Visa and MasterCard payments in the article below.
