Finding Your Rental Car at Bora Bora Airport

Bora Bora Airport is located on a separate islet (motu), and rental services operate differently than at larger airports. Pre-booked rentals are standard, with company representatives meeting you upon arrival to coordinate your transfer to the main island where your vehicle is located.

Main Terminal

After you collect your luggage in the arrivals area, look for a representative from your car rental agency holding a sign with your name or the company logo. They will direct you to the airport's boat shuttle for the transfer to Vaitape on the main island, where your car will be ready for pickup.

Bora Bora Car Rental Guide

Essential driving tips and rental FAQs for exploring this South Pacific paradise on wheels

Can I rent a traditional car in Bora Bora like I would elsewhere?

No—Bora Bora doesn't have conventional car rental counters at the airport or downtown. Instead, transportation options are limited to bicycles, scooters, or small buggies, often booked through your hotel. If you want a car, contact your resort in advance; many offer vehicle loans or arrange rentals with local operators. Don't expect major brands like Hertz or Avis here.

Do I need an International Driving Permit (IDP) in Bora Bora?

Yes, an IDP is strongly recommended. French Polynesia requires foreign licenses to be accompanied by an official French or English translation, and an IDP serves exactly this purpose. While some hotels may not check rigorously, carrying both your valid US license and IDP avoids potential issues with local police. The IDP is valid for 1 year and costs about $20 through AAA.

What's the driving side and road situation in Bora Bora?

French Polynesia drives on the RIGHT side with left-hand drive vehicles, same as the US. The island has one main road (Route du Chef) circling the island—just 16 miles total. Roads are narrow, single-lane in spots, and can be bumpy. Speed limits are 30-50 km/h in villages, 60 km/h on open roads. No highways, no tolls. Watch out for cyclists, pedestrians, and occasionally roaming cows.

Is it safe to drive in Bora Bora during the rainy season?

Generally safe, but caution is needed from November to April. This is the wet season with tropical showers and occasional thunderstorms. Roads can become slippery when wet, and heavy rain reduces visibility. Cyclones are rare but possible—monitor weather alerts. The island is small enough that you can easily wait out a storm. No snow chains or winter tires needed; just ensure your buggy has functioning wipers.

How do fuel and payments work for rentals in Bora Bora?

Gas stations are limited—there's one main station near Vaitape. Most rentals operate on a full-to-full or full-to-empty basis: you receive a full tank and return it full, or pay upfront for a full tank you don't need to return full. Credit cards (Visa, Mastercard) are widely accepted. Since the island is tiny, you'll barely use any fuel—a few liters is usually plenty for a full day's exploration.

What should I know about young driver fees and age restrictions in Bora Bora?

If you find a car rental, the minimum age is typically 21-25 years old, with a young driver surcharge of roughly $15-25 per day for drivers under 25. There's usually no upper age limit, but drivers over 70 may need to present additional documentation. Since options are extremely limited and hotels often don't enforce strict age policies for their loaner vehicles, contact your resort directly to negotiate terms.
