Port Vila car rentals from $50/day

For Port Vila car hire, as there are many unsealed roads that are made of dirt or compacted coral, a 4WD is recommended. If you are not comfortable with a 4WD, be sure to check with your car hire company as to which roads you are allowed to drive on, because some will not be covered by the car hire insurance. Most of the places of interest will only be accessible by dirt road. Your car hire company will be able to advise you on this and what the best option would be for you.

There are two speed limits on the island. In Port Vila and other towns, the speed limit is 50 km/h; on rural roads, the speed limit is 80 km/h. That being said, the rural roads are unsealed and the state of the road should dictate your speed. If there have recently been heavy rains and the roads are in bad condition, it is advised to slow your speed right down. You also need to navigate potholes, as well as pedestrians and other drivers on what are sometimes narrow roads, so most of the time you are likely to go the speed limit or below anyway.
