About Vanuatu

Vanuatu is a stunning archipelago in the South Pacific known for its lush landscapes, vibrant culture, and warm hospitality.

The islands boast a unique blend of Melanesian culture and colonial influences, reflected in their languages, customs, and cuisine. Visitors are drawn to Vanuatu for its excellent diving and snorkeling spots, traditional villages, and opportunities to explore volcanic terrain.

Driving in Vanuatu

Major car rental companies such as Avis, Budget, and local providers operate mainly in Port Vila. Daily rental costs typically range from 50 to 100 USD, with weekly rates offering some discounts. Drivers must have a valid international or local driver’s license and be at least 21 years old. Roads are generally in good condition on main islands but can be rough and unpaved in rural areas. Parking is available in Port Vila but can be limited in busy areas. Tourists benefit from renting a car to explore beyond the capital and access remote beaches and attractions, as public transport options are limited. Renting a car is recommended for greater flexibility and convenience.
