5 Things to Look For When Comparing Car Rentals in Wallis and Futuna
Before we dive into our comparison of the car hires in Wallis and Futuna, know what to look for with these car rental comparison tips.
1. Prices and Inclusions
Car rental companies in Wallis and Futuna have various inclusions, as well as different daily rates; for example, insurance is not always included in the rate, and Wallis and Futuna's remote location means mainland credit card coverage might be complicated or unavailable.

2. Vehicles Offered
Wallis and Futuna's car rental companies have very varied fleets, especially when it comes to age, so ask for the newest vehicles for the most reliable options, or the oldest vehicles if you're on a budget.
What's more, the size of your vehicle will matter depending on how many people you are travelling with. You might want to get a high-clearance vehicle to access attractions that have a poor access road. Otherwise, most roads are high-quality main roads, so a compact vehicle will suit just fine.

3. Booking & Delivery
The good news is that most car rental companies will deliver your vehicle straight to the airport or your hotel at no extra charge. While many companies are still catching up with online booking systems, you'll find that a quick phone call usually does the trick.
We'd recommend booking ahead, especially if you're visiting on a cruise ship or peak holiday periods when demand can get quite busy.
4. Payment Options
Although credit cards are accepted by most car rental companies, there is usually an extra charge to use one, so you may want to pay cash if that's an option – see where the closest ATMs are located in Information, Shops & Services in Wallis & Futuna LINK#TTD096.
