A bona-fide tourist in Fiji may drive if in possession of a valid home country driving license for the same class of vehicle. The maximum speed limit in built-up areas is 50 km/h (30 m.p.h.) and on the highways it is 80 km/h (50 m.p.h.). Driving is on the left side of the road.

Rental cars are available at international airports and major resorts, and are easily arranged from all hotels and motels. There is good bitumen asphalt (hard top) highway from Rakiraki on the north-eastern tip of Viti Levu to Suva, via Tavua, Ba, Lautoka, Nadi and the Coral Coast. Work now in progress will complete major sections of the highway from Rakiraki to Suva via Korovou, allowing for an easy (and spectacular) circumnavigation of the island. Rental cars are also available in Vanua Levu and some outer islands by arrangement.
