Nadi Airport Car Hire

How you collect your vehicle depends on the company: some have counters in the arrivals hall, a short walk from baggage claim, while others run a shuttle to depots along the Queens Road. Check the car over before driving away, then head for Nadi town, Denarau’s resorts around 15 minutes away, or the Coral Coast to the south.
