Located on the shores of the Pacific Ocean, Fiji is actually a combination of a group of islands. Most of the 322 islands are interconnected by air and ferry services. However roads also do exist between some islands, especially between the larger ones. Though bus service is available, it is however a common sight that tourists mainly go for Fiji car hire service for a more fun filled ride. Hiring a car is arguably one of the best options to explore Fiji. The best thing about a hired car is that you can drive yourself and visit your favorite spot. However before you hire a car, you should keep in mind that cars are left driven. If you are an international traveler, you must hold a valid driving license. Further you should be at least 21 years of age to take a car on rent. Necessary documents are often asked to verify the age. You should make sure that your passport has been updated recently, should you have made it before you turned 21. The cars can be taken on rent at Nadi Airport. Some other resorts in this island country too offer Fiji car hire service. The large islands like Viti Levu and Vanua Levu too have many car rental service providers. While driving around Viti Levu, watch out for stray animals. These animals often take drivers by surprise as they suddenly start crossing the road. So be very cautious and avoid accidents. The legal speed limit is 80 kilometers. Police are on the look out to spot rash drivers. So remain in the legal speed limit and ensure that you finish up the driving tour around Fiji completely hassle free. It takes only around four hours to cover the distance between Nadi and Suva. If you are planning to drive along the rural areas, exercise more caution as the roads are not that good and have pot holes. Always remember that any kind of accident or damage to the rented car means that you have to pay extra. This kind of negligence means Fiji car hire would cost you much more than you had thought.
