Which Car Hire to Choose in Wallis and Futuna?

Wallis and Futuna are ideal islands to explore by car. More to the point, there is no public transport, so hiring a vehicle is one of the limited ways to reach Futuna's breathtaking beaches, Wallis' hilltop viewpoints and the cultural sites across both islands at your own pace.

With roads linking the main settlements and many scenic detours, a rental car lets you discover both well-known attractions and quieter hidden spots.

Car hire options on the islands typically offer delivery to Hihifo Airport on Wallis and Pointe Vele Airport on Futuna, making pick-up convenient upon arrival. Vehicles range from compact cars for inter-village travel to 4WD options better suited to Wallis and Futuna's many unsealed roads.

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 some rental companies in Wallis and Futuna even charge cleaning fees. We make sure to list inclusions in the comparison below, where available.

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, like Lake Lalolalo, or even for navigating the potholes on Futuna.

Learn more about what it is like to drive on Wallis and Futuna's roads in our guide, How to Drive in Wallis & Futuna + 10 Road Rules You Need to Know.

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.

We'd recommend booking ahead, especially if you're visiting on a cruise ship or peak holiday periods when demand can get quite busy.

We have quite a few car rental options bookable through Book.WallisandFutunaPocketGuide.com.

4. Payment Options

Credit cards are accepted by most car rental companies. In fact, credit cards are required by some car rental companies that ask for a credit card pre-authorisation (or, unofficially, "details") to act as a security deposit. The odd car rental company operates without credit card systems at all, so it's always good to compare your options.

5. Service

Once you have picked one or two car rental companies to compare, give them an email or a phone call and ask them a few questions. See how helpful they are in their answers. Trust us, there are definitely some unhelpful car rental companies in Wallis and Futuna, so this little test will give you an idea of how helpful the company will be should anything go wrong during your trip.

Insurance

Most rental vehicles in Wallis & Futuna are not insured, which differs significantly from other destinations. Instead of traditional insurance, a credit card imprint is taken as a security deposit.
