HIRING A CAR ON NORFOLK ISLAND

A common question asked is 'do I need a hire car' on Norfolk Island? Although the island is only 8kmx5km there is over 100 mile of road and lots of winding hills! It's the perfect place to take your time and discover what is around every corner! 


Norfolk Island offers possibly the cheapest hire cars in the Pacific and while the island is small, its steep hills would challenge even the best walkers! 

There is no public transport system with the exception of a taxi. Having a hire car allows you the liberty to drive and explore the island at your own pace.

There is a Taxi Service available only on request. Norfolk has over 170km of road and most are tar sealed. 

The speed limit is 40km/h through town, 25km/h in the National Parks and down at Kingston and Emily Bay. The school zone is 30km/h between the hours of 8.00am until 3.30pm during school days. Out side of these areas the speed limit is 50km/h. 

Driving is on the left hand side of the road and locals wave to all passing vehicles which is called the "Norfolk Wave." many visitors to the island spend there holiday learning new waving techniques. 

 You can get your driving license on Norfolk Island at the age of 16 but to hire a vehicle from the hire companies you must have a current drivers license and be at least 21 years of age.

REMEMBER: Cows have the right of way on Norfolk Island roads
