Where to collect your vehicle
Which vehicle should you choose?
- City car or compact — perfect for a lone runner or a couple: economical, easy to park at the access points.
- SUV / 4x4 — comfortable for reaching the highlands and the aid stations at altitude.
- 7-seater or van — ideal for a support crew or a family following the runner together.

That is why Tropiloc lists only vetted professional Réunionnais agencies: maintained vehicles, insurance included, roadside assistance. You compare several local hirers in one place, with unlimited mileage and free cancellation — and you book online in minutes.
Frequently asked questions
When should I book my car for the Grand Raid 2026?
As early as possible. Thousands of runners and supporters arrive on the island for the Diagonale des Fous, and vehicles go fast. Book ideally one to three months ahead to have the choice and the best price.
Where can I collect the vehicle to follow the race?
At Roland Garros Airport as soon as you arrive, but also in Saint-Pierre (the race start) and Saint-Denis (the finish). Choose whichever pick-up point suits your logistics.
Do I need a 4x4 for the Grand Raid?
Not necessarily. A city car or a compact is enough to reach the aid stations accessible by road and the finish in Saint-Denis. An SUV is comfortable for the highlands and for families; a 7-seater for groups of supporters.
Can I follow my runner from one point to the next?
Yes — that is the main reason to hire. The Diagonale crosses the island from Saint-Pierre to Saint-Denis. With unlimited mileage you reach the accessible aid stations and the finish without counting the kilometres.
Why book through Tropiloc rather than a peer-to-peer rental?
During an event you cannot risk a breakdown. Tropiloc brings together vetted professional agencies (maintained fleet, insurance, assistance), with unlimited mileage and free cancellation. Reliability comes before price.
