Car Hire or Transfers in Fiji?

Quick summary: Whether to hire a car in Fiji depends on where you stay. On Viti Levu, a car is great for the Coral Coast, highland detours and a lap of the island. For island resorts in the Mamanuca and Yasawa groups, you’ll travel by boat, seaplane or helicopter, and many day cruises and tours include hotel pickups, so a car isn’t needed.
