KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Noumea

  • Opting for car rentals in Noumea has various advantages for travelers eager to explore the captivating region. These rentals offer convenience and flexibility, enabling you to freely discover the area's stunning attractions and scenic spots on your own terms. By renting a car, you can uncover hidden gems and the remote regions that may be inaccessible through public transportation. With Noumea car rentals, you can effortlessly explore remarkable destinations like the breathtaking Amédée Lighthouse, the tranquil Kuendu Beach, and the picturesque Parc Provincial de la Rivière Bleue, which may not easily be accessed by public transportation means.
  • If you fly to Noumea, you’ll likely land at Magenta Airport (GEA), about 4.8 km away. After landing, you can easily find the car rental desk for the several car rental agencies that provide the services within the airport terminal.

  • When driving car rentals in Noumea, there are a few unique aspects to be aware of to avoid challenges.

Pros:

Easy pick up and drop off at the airport.

Cons:

Car was dented and missing the right front hubcap. Probably should have upgraded to a nicer car but I have never been given a car in such poor condition before. Also had to pay Eurocar to clean the car??? Never had to do that before.
