EspañolRent SUV / 4x4 in the West
SUV / 4x4 available in the West. An SUV or 4x4 is ideal for the highland roads and access to the Maïdo, the Volcano or the Plaine des Cafres. A high driving position, a generous boot and comfort on long drives: perfect for exploring the island's interior with the family.
The west coast is Réunion's dry, sunny side: the lagoon beaches, the seaside buzz of Saint-Gilles, the surf spots of Saint-Leu and the dramatic climb to the Maïdo. Here a car is the best way to string together swims, water sports and sweeping views over the Mafate cirque.
Everything about renting in the WestGood to know
Driving up into the cirques
Cilaos, Salazie: the roads into the cirques are narrow and very winding (over 400 bends to reach Cilaos!). A nimble car, or even an SUV, makes driving in the highlands far more relaxed.

On Réunion Island you easily cover 100 km a day between the volcano, the cirques and the lagoon. A capped-mileage deal quickly turns into a trap. On Tropiloc, unlimited mileage comes as standard on most listings.
How much does car hire cost?How the security deposit works
A deposit is left with the agency when you collect the vehicle, then returned after the rental if all is well. Tropiloc never charges it: it is simply the agency's guarantee for the duration of the rental.
