 between Mauritius and Reunion by JustinJansen
The fares are reasonable, and in advance booking is not nessesary!
I guess flying in via France ismore expensive! Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

 eruption volcanique by el.mOe
There are 1000s of car rentals on the island. so you dont need to get your car from expensive rentals like AVIS, BUDGET at the airport.
One good company is STOP VO , located in St.Denis and St.Gilles-les-Bains
..but take care , sometimes there fall rocks on the road or roads get closed due to heavy rainfall, especially route litoral between le port and st denis =) Leave a Comment

 View of Saint Denis. (me n
crazy driving friend)jk by Caro315
If so, great! Rent a car. Try out the zig zag shaped routes that you see on those mountains! "La Montagne" as an example. (At night, it's an impressive view) *Check out picture: breathtaking view once you get to the resting/lookout point.
Mind you: most cars in Reunion are standard cars. Therefore you will have a good practice going uphill and good workout driving up those roads if you are not used to driving stick. La Reunion is known for steep mountain routes. There are a lot of turns, and if one is not used to it, watch out, you'll get a huuuuugeeeeeee headache by the time you reach turn # 20 (believe me, i've been there, done that, it's horrible! Especially when the driver is accostumed to driving those routes everyday and drives really fast around those sharp curves. It gets pretty scary I tell you)
Also try out: Route de la corniche. Highway by seashore that leads from Saint Denis to le Port/la Possesion. You will see nettings on the rocks (beside the highway) because during heavy rain/cyclones rocks may fall on the road. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

La Reunion and particularly St Denis is very congested, roads are too narrow and cars are too many.
It become OK when you leave St Denis.
However, transport is no so easy on the island, so it is better to rent a small car at the airport.
There was a company very cheap, renting Peugeot 106, 900cc.
You were paying something like 10 USD per day.
On your doors you had their nice ad: "I rented this car very cheap".
This is the easiest way to travel on the island.
I even could sleep in when I did not find a guestroom. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

There are cabs (friendly drivers)and buses. The best way to tour is to rent a car. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

Hum ... you can get there by swimming ... !
Seriously, the best way to go to Reunion is a plane.
A car may be easier than bus. There is no train overthere. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

 Lisa in our rental car on
Reunion by mikelisaanna
Reunion follows French road rules, and driving is therefore on the right side of the road, unlike nearby Mauritius, which drives on the left. Most rental cars on the island are manual transmission. If possible, get an automatic, because you will be doing a lot of shifting with the winding and hilly roads. Focusing on shifting will detract from the driver's ability to enjoy the island's great scenery (and stay out of the deep ditches which line many of the back roads).
