How to Rent a Car on Réunion Island on a Budget? 6 Practical Tips

At Rent a Car Réunion, our goal is to offer you car rentals on Réunion Island at the best price so you can enjoy your stay without worrying about transportation costs. Here are our 6 tips to minimize the cost of your rental.

Tip #1: Choose the Economy Class

To enjoy an affordable car rental in Réunion, we recommend renting a vehicle from the economy class. These cars, available at particularly low rates, will not only help you save money at the time of booking but also throughout your stay. Since these Rent a Car vehicles are fuel-efficient, you’ll be able to travel freely all over the island without having to keep an eye on the fuel gauge.

Tip #2: Book as Early as Possible

To get the best price on a car rental, the secret at Rent a Car is to book your vehicle as early as possible. The earlier you book your car, the more attractive the rental rates will be. So, for a cheap car rental in Réunion, plan your trip with us as far in advance as possible!

Tip #3: Book online to save up to 9%

To book an affordable car rental in Réunion, we recommend making your reservation directly online. Prices listed on websites are often lower than those charged at the rental office or when booking by phone. At Rent a Car Réunion, you’ll enjoy an immediate discount of up to 9% off in-office rates if you choose to book your car online. Also, be sure to compare dates: shifting your pickup date by a day or two can sometimes affect the rates.

Tip #4: Pay with Your ANCV Vacation Checks

Another tip for renting a car affordably in Réunion: pay for your rental with vacation checks. At Rent a Car Réunion, you can pay for all or part of your car rental with your ANCV vacation checks. To do so, simply select “pay at the agency” as your payment method.

Tip #5: Travel During the Off-Season

Are your vacation dates flexible? Do you want to explore the island at your own pace? To take advantage of a cheap car rental in Réunion, we recommend visiting the island during the off-season. Between January and July or in September, rental rates are lower. You’ll be able to explore and visit the must-see attractions at your own pace, without crowds of tourists!

Tip #6: Opt for unlimited mileage

One last tip for getting a cheap rental car in Réunion: rent a car with unlimited mileage. That way, you can stay within your budget and avoid extra charges if you drive more kilometers than expected!

What is the cheapest rental car in Réunion?

To ensure they get the best price on a rental car, most tourists choose a vehicle from the economy class. Inexpensive and fuel-efficient, these budget rental cars allow you to make real savings on your vacation budget. And among all these vehicles, the Renault Twingo is the most popular budget rental car in Réunion. For the winding roads of Les Hauts, we also offer the Dacia Duster, which is slightly higher-end but still fits within a budget-conscious framework.

Where can you rent a car at a low price in Réunion?

Renting directly at Roland Garros Airport in Réunion involves airport fees that most rental companies pass on to the final price. To avoid these extra costs, our car rental agency in Sainte-Marie, just 2 minutes from the airport, lets you pick up your vehicle at lower rental rates, so you’ll enjoy a more affordable car rental.

We also have 4 locations across the island to offer you flexibility for both your arrival and departure.
