Our team are available to contact the depot on your behalf where you are picking up your vehicle to enquire what models are available under the vehicle group you booked.

Frequently asked questions
On hiring a car in Port Vila
Is it cheaper to book a weekly car rental in Port Vila?
The per-day rates of some rental cars may fall if you book for a longer rental period. Prices often change around daily, three-day, five-day and seven-day periods. Also, note that the selection of rental cars available in Port Vila may be more limited if you are looking for a long-term car rental, so it’s best to compare a few different booking durations first.
