Renting a car when arriving by ferry in Moorea

THE SHORT ANSWER

Distinguish a vehicle handover at the quay from a transfer to a rental office. Moorea Car Rental advertises a transfer between the ferry terminal and its office; this does not mean the car is waiting on the quay. Confirm the meeting arrangements for your sailing before leaving.

Compare the complete journey

Your choice includes the vehicle, collection and return arrangements. Ask where to wait, how to recognise the person meeting you and what to do if the ferry is late. Check the return location separately if you leave by air.

Choose for your luggage

Moorea Car Rental lists manual and automatic vehicles. Ask which model or category is confirmed, then check luggage space for your actual party size. Confirm any child seat before relying on it.

What your confirmation should cover

Keep the rental company’s confirmation of dates, category, driver requirements, any deposit, cover and exclusions, fuel, cancellation, meeting point and return. We do not reproduce changing prices or availability here. The enquiry and contract stay with the provider.
