AIR: Aero-clubs at Roland-Garros Airport hire planes for flights over the island, which are well worth the price.
SEA: Four shipping lines run services around the island.
ROAD: Roads are fair and there are over 2680km (1665 miles) of roads, 345km (214 miles) of which are main roads. Speed limits are the same as in France. The main road runs on a north–south axis. The island can be easily crossed by bus, taxi or hired car. Car hire is available throughout the island. Further details can be obtained from the Comité du Tourisme de la Réunion. Bus: Two types of buses operate on the island: urban buses mainly serve the Saint-Denis area; yellow buses connect main towns. Services are excellent and luxurious, with very comfortable vehicles. Buses stop by request. Taxis: Taxi ranks can be found in city centres. Taxis can be hired by telephone (telephone numbers can be obtained from the information points at the airport). There are likely to be extra charges after 2000 Mon-Fri, on Sunday and Bank Holidays. Car hire: Available from the airport and from car hire firms in Saint-Denis. Petrol prices are similar to those in France. Budget, Avis, and Hertz are among the many car hire companies that are represented at the airports. Documentation: An International Driving Permit is recommended, though not legally required.
