The popular South Pacific archipelago of Fiji is known for its volcanic mountains, coral reefs and crystal-clear waters. With well-established road networks across the main islands, visitors are able to make the most of their time in Fiji and explore the main cities, such as Nadi and Suva, while also experiencing the tranquillity offered by the more remote coastal and inland areas.

Driving Tips for Fiji

With around 2050 miles (3300km) of roads across Fiji, hiring a car is a great way to discover all that these paradisiacal islands have to offer. Roads are typically well-constructed and the national speed limit is generally adhered to. Village roads are characterised by speed bumps, which have increased road safety in these areas.

Driving licences: driving licences from English-speaking countries are valid in Fiji. Drivers from other countries must obtain an International Driving Permit.

What side of the road should you drive on?: the left.

Speed limits:
National speed limit: 50 mph (80 km/h)
Residential areas: 30 mph (50 km/h)

Alcohol limits: Zero tolerance, it is illegal to drive after drinking any alcohol.

Driving age: 17 years old, but you usually have to be over 21 years old to hire a car.

Seatbelts: Wearing a seatbelt is compulsory for all front and rear passengers. Children should always be strapped in. Fines are issued for those not adhering to this rule.

Mobile phones: the use of a mobile phone while driving is prohibited unless used in conjunction with a hands-free kit.

Cost of fuel in Fiji: petrol is approximately the same price as it is in the UK.

Car hire and fuel payment: the main towns have more than enough petrol stations. Many petrol stations take cash only and it is also possible to buy cans of fuel from remote village stores. Due to its size, it's often possible to organise one-way car hire in Fiji.

Insurance: although all hire cars will come with third party insurance, you may want to take out excess insurance as excesses on hire cars can be as much as £2000.

Traffic and parking: there are no tolls in Fiji and parking tickets must be displayed where applicable. Meter wardens operate in Fiji and can issue tickets for any infringements; however, there are many free parking spaces available.


Transport

Taxis
Taxis can be booked by your hotel or can be found at one of the many depots in any of the main towns. They offer a relatively inexpensive way to get from point A to B, but remember to ask your driver to turn on the meter before you start your journey or you may have to negotiate a price.

It costs around £7 to get from the airport to Nadi and in Suva a taxi to the other side of town will cost approximately £3.

Buses
There are regular bus services between the main towns and cities. Buses tend to be basic and offer the opportunity to mingle with locals and hear some of the driver's favourite Fijian music.

A four-hour bus journey along the Queens Highway on Viti Levu will cost approximately £7. Local timetables and fare information can be found at www.airportsfiji.com

Ferries
Ferries connect the main island of Viti Levu to the other island groups and offer a relaxed and slow-paced way to see some of the sights. Most ferries are able to accommodate cars and depart several times a day.

Ferries may offer economy, sleeper and cabin tickets depending on the journey and a typical trip from Suva to Taveuni can cost between £22 and £50. Local timetables can be found at www.ssc.com.fj.

Airports
The main airport in Fiji is Nadi International Airport, this handles most of Fiji’s international flights to and from the Island.

In Suva you will find Nausori airport, this does handle a few International flights but mainly operates domestic flights and flights to Australia & New Zealand.

Explore

Exploring Fiji

Fiji is friendly and welcoming with something on offer for all ages and tastes. Just over 100 of Fiji's islands are inhabited and the diverse cultural influences can be seen in the number of Far Eastern restaurants, traditional South Pacific fire-walking ceremonies and strong Christian principles instilled by early European missionaries.

For those seeking peace and solitude, it's possible to explore the smaller and more remote islands and enjoy the native flora and fauna. The small island of Monuriki offers secluded beaches and the Sabeto Hot Springs, while neighbouring Kadavu boasts turquoise lagoons and stunning panoramas across the archipelago.

In the capital city of Suva you will find the Fiji Museum and an opportunity to learn about the country's heritage and culture. Other highlights on the main island of Viti Levu include Sigatoka Sand Dunes National Park and the Hindu Sri Siva Subrahmaniya Swami Temple on the west coast of the island.

Those who enjoy outdoor pursuits can hike in Koroyanitu National Heritage Park and view the sacred Dakua trees before stopping off at the eco-tourism settlement of Abaca. Diving amidst the coral reefs and sea kayaking between islands are popular activities and after a day of exploring you can enjoy some traditional pumpkin curry and yaqona, a drink made from kava root, back in Nadi.
