What a weekend! Nothing beats waking up to the sound of Supercars warming up, stepping right out of our campervan with a hot coffee in hand and heading straight to the fence.

The atmosphere at the Mount Panorama campgrounds was electric. Having our own motorhome setup gave us the ultimate base camp—comfort, hot food, and warm refuge when the mountain weather dropped at night.

We had four guys in a 6-berth RV from DriveNow and there was plenty of room for all our gear, food, and camping chairs. Will definitely be making this an annual tradition.

Taking a motorhome to McPhillamy Park on the Top of the Mountain was the best decision we ever made. Proper beds, a hot shower, and a cold fridge full of drinks while the V8s roared past!

Frequently asked questions on hiring a car in New Caledonia

What kind of licence do I need to drive in New Caledonia?

As long as you hold a valid driving licence in your home country, you should be able to hire a car and drive in New Caledonia.

What is it like to drive in New Caledonia?

When driving in New Caledonia, you must stay to the left-hand side of the road. Be aware that you may not be able to take your vehicle around to other islands. However, when staying on La Grande Terre (New Caledonia's main island), you should be able to drive around the area without any hassle. The entire body of land is just 400kms long and 50kms wide.

Car hire payment

What car rental insurance options are available for New Caledonia?

Insure your car hire with a Collision Damage Waiver (rental car insurance) or seek out travel insurance that covers rental car accidents to help reduce your excess liability. Our guide to car hire insurance and excess reduction in Australia explains how excess options generally work, but terms in New Caledonia can differ, so check your rental company's terms and your insurer's policy. Whichever option you elect to take remember that in the event of an accident secure copies of all documentation, police reports and if possible take photos.
