By vehicle type in Saint-Gilles-les-Bains
Réunion's best-known seaside resort, Saint-Gilles-les-Bains (part of Saint-Paul) lives to the rhythm of the lagoon, the Ermitage beaches and Boucan Canot. A vehicle is almost essential here to enjoy the beaches, boat trips and excursions to the Maïdo or Mafate.
The ideal base for the west
Saint-Gilles is a favourite base for holidaymakers: within easy reach you'll find the island's finest beaches, the harbour restaurants and water sports. A car lets you string together a morning at the beach and an afternoon drive up to the Maïdo.
Up into the western highlands
From Saint-Gilles, the road climbs to Saint-Gilles-les-Hauts, the Villèle museum and then the Maïdo, a spectacular balcony over the Cirque de Mafate. Allow about 1h15 of winding road: a vehicle in good condition is recommended.
What to see and do around Saint-Gilles-les-Bains
- The Ermitage and Boucan Canot beaches
- The lagoon and its underwater trail
- The marina and its restaurants
- The Maïdo and the view over the Cirque de Mafate
- The Réunion Aquarium
Tips for renting a vehicle in Saint-Gilles-les-Bains
- In high season, head to the beach early to find parking.
- A car is enough for the coast; an SUV is more comfortable for the Maïdo.
- Consider a scooter for short hops between beach and accommodation.
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to rent a car in Saint-Gilles?
City cars and scooters are the most economical for the coast; an SUV costs a little more but is more comfortable for the Maïdo. On Tropiloc, compare local agencies at the best price, full price displayed with no hidden fees.
Scooter or car in Saint-Gilles-les-Bains?
The scooter is unbeatable and cheap for short hops between beach and accommodation in fine weather. A car is preferable for carrying luggage, going out in the evening or driving up to the Maïdo.
Should I book ahead in Saint-Gilles?
Yes, strongly recommended: Saint-Gilles is the island's most popular resort and the best-priced vehicles go fast in high season. Booking early on Tropiloc secures the price.

Good to know
Unlimited mileage: drive without counting
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.
All frequent questionsFree cancellation
Plans changed? Most of our listings offer free cancellation up to a few days before departure. You book with peace of mind, without risking your deposit.
