Drive Time: Driving in Fiji is a great way to get Around
Fiji offers some of the best surfing, snorkeling and scuba diving in the world.
How to do it? Drive. Renting a car is one of the best ways to get around Fiji.
Very convenient and very fun. You can go wherever you like, whenever you like.
One of the best routes is to drive along the magnificent Coral Coast, from Nadi down to Suva. It’s a 190km stretch of beach after beach, with all kinds of top notch accommodation to choose from.
Choosing a car
Classic Rental & Hire Fiji is a great option for your Fiji driving experience. The service is excellent with pickups from Nadi Airport and a variety of hotels.
Classic Rental offers a wide range of quality vehicles at affordable prices.
Whatever you need, Classic Rental has it, whether it’s an SUV, minivan or standard car.
Where to go?
We recommend taking your time to hit the water, take in the sights and put your feet up.
Whether it’s surfing or snorkelling with a few pals or a cosy getaway for two, the Coral Coast has some truly incredible spots to savour.
The drive from Nadi to the capital Suva is only 3-4 hours, but what’s the rush? Spend a night or two along the way to spoil yourself.
Head south on Queens Road, which is the main route from Nadi to Suva.
Natadola, Sigatoka and Naviti are all renowned surfing breaks, easily accessible from the main highway.
The Coral Coast also has numerous snorkeling and scuba diving shops and schools. Make a booking, stop off and treat yourself to some of the world’s most breathtaking underwater experiences.
Where to stay?
Bacially – wherever you like!
The Coral Coast has everything from 5-star resorts to secluded villas and beachside bungalows. There is something there for everybody.
One of the joys of travelling by car is the convenience of stopping off anywhere. If you decide you like a place, you can stay longer. Book another night!
What to know
In Fiji, cars drive on the left side of the road, as in Australia, Japan and the UK. This means the steering wheel is on the right – closer to the centre of the road.
You will need an international driving license and your regular license when driving in Fiji. International licenses are easy to organize, but leave plenty of time for processing before you start booking your trip.
A unique feature of roads in Fiji is the roundabout. Also common in Australia, New Zealand and Europe, roundabouts are circular intersections. There are no traffic lights and cars enter and exit in a clock-wise direction.
The Coral Coast is just one of many excellent scenic routes to enjoy by rental car.
