Average Car Rental Prices in Reunion

Renting a car in Reunion offers flexibility and convenience for travelers looking to explore this beautiful island's lush landscapes and scenic roads. The average daily rate for a compact car rental is approximately €25 to €40. Mid-size vehicles may vary between €40 to €60 per day, providing more comfort for those venturing out with more passengers or luggage. For those seeking luxury or more rugged vehicles like SUVs, the expected daily rates can ascend to €60 to €100. These rates are competitive compared to mainland destinations like Antibes.

However, these prices can fluctuate based on the rental season, with costs peaking during the high tourist seasons, typically around December to January and July to August. Additionally, renting for longer periods or booking in advance can often secure better rates. Extra charges should be expected for additional services such as GPS navigation systems, child safety seats, or insurance upgrades. It's also important to note that most car rental companies on the island will require a valid driver's license, and many prefer an international driving permit.

FAQ

1. What is the minimum age to rent a car in Reunion?

The minimum age to rent a car in Reunion is typically 21 years. Drivers aged 21–24 may face a young driver surcharge of €10–30 per day. Some premium and luxury vehicles require the driver to be at least 25. Always check the specific rental company's age policy before booking.

2. When is the cheapest time to rent a car in Reunion?

Car rental prices in Reunion are generally lowest during the off-season (November–March for European destinations). Booking 4–8 weeks in advance can also secure significantly lower rates. Avoid major holidays and local events when demand peaks. Comparing prices on Cars Scanner helps find the best deals year-round.

3. What happens if I return the car late?

Most rental companies in Reunion offer a grace period of 30–59 minutes. Beyond that, you will be charged for an additional day. To avoid unexpected costs, plan your return time carefully. If you know you'll be late, contact the rental office — they may extend your booking at a lower rate than the late-return penalty.

4. What is an excess (deductible) and how does it work?

The excess (or deductible) is the maximum amount you'd pay out of pocket if the car is damaged or stolen. In France, this typically ranges from €500 to €2,000 depending on the vehicle class. You can reduce or eliminate the excess by purchasing additional coverage such as Super CDW or booking full-coverage insurance through Cars Scanner.

5. What are the key driving rules in Reunion?

Key rules when driving in France:

  • Drive on the right side of the road
  • Seat belts are mandatory for all passengers
  • Mobile phones may only be used hands-free
  • Headlights must be on at all times in some areas
  • Blood alcohol limit is typically 0.05% (stricter for new drivers)

Familiarise yourself with local signage and speed limits before setting off.

6. What should I do in case of an accident with the rental car?

If you have an accident in Reunion:

  1. Ensure everyone's safety and call emergency services if needed (112 in Europe)
  2. Document everything — take photos of damage, the scene, and other vehicles
  3. Fill in the accident report form (usually found in the glove compartment)
  4. Contact the rental company immediately
  5. Do not admit fault or sign documents you don't understand

Your rental insurance will cover damages within the agreed terms.

7. Can I return the rental car in a different city or country?

Yes, one-way rentals are available with most major companies in France. Returning within the same country usually costs €30–100 extra. Cross-border returns to other EU countries are also possible but carry a higher fee — typically €100–300 depending on the distance. Always confirm the one-way policy when booking.
