Driving in Vanuatu offers a fantastic way to explore the stunning landscapes and vibrant culture of the islands. While you can certainly rent a car to navigate your own adventure, there’s a unique and rewarding alternative that benefits both you and the local community: hiring a local driver.
Support Local Businesses
By choosing to hire a driver from a reputable local business, you’re directly supporting local entrepreneurs to thrive and fostering a positive impact on the community.
Customised Itinerary
Local drivers offer more than just transportation - they offer a personalised day trip. Once you explain to your driver what your interests and needs are, they can ensure you make the most of your time while on holiday. Whether it’s hidden gems, cultural sites, or family-friendly activities, your driver’s local knowledge will help you discover the best the islands have to offer.
Stress-Free Exploration
Navigating unfamiliar roads and traffic can be challenging. For those visiting from Australia and New Zealand, be prepared to drive on the opposite side of the road! In general there is also very little sign posting for attractions, and then there are the potholes! Yes, there are a few potholes and it takes knowledge of the streets and how to navigate them safely to keep you safe and stress-free. With a reputable local driver you can sit back and relax and let someone else handle the logistics while you focus on creating memorable experiences with your family.
Flexible Scheduling
With a local driver, you have the flexibility during the day to adjust your plans, talk to your driver about what you are enjoying and if you want to spend more time at a beach or extend your visit to a particular attraction let them know.
Authentic Local Insights
Sometimes on holiday a personal travel guide can offer so much more then just driving you safely from A to B, that share their love for their country and customs and can make recommendations that you might not find in travel guides.

A few extra points to note, unless you are right in the heart of Port Vila there are no, to very limited street lights at night, you are driving on the right hand side of the road and the potholes - please be aware of not drinking and driving!
