- When visiting Réunion, consider renting a car from one of the rental agencies available in the country. Renting a car in Réunion has various benefits, including the flexibility to travel across the country at your own pace. Réunion has a limited public transport system, especially when you plan on traveling between cities. Using a rental car will allow for intercity travel so you can explore various areas of the country. Since Réunion has well-developed roads, including highways, you can effortlessly access different cities with a rental car. With a rental car, you can easily access popular attractions, including Piton de la Fournaise, the Cirque de Mafate, and Salazie, all conveniently reachable by car.
- Réunion has mountainous terrain with winding roads, making it challenging to drive through various streets when visiting the country.

Before leaving the pickup location with your rental car, be sure to install the child seat properly and confirm that it is compatible with the vehicle's seat belts.
