# Limited mileage on GrandeTerre? Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / New Caledonia
cotswolds 23:28 UTC 11 May 2007 | Folks, I have got another question. Not being that familiar with distances on Grande Terre, I wonder if I should agree to limited kms with a rental car on Grande Terre. Avis offers 1'200 km for 6 days (25'000-.-) Europcar wants €261 for unlimited kms - but is 1'2000 enough to see P.P. de la Rivière Bleue, drive up the east coast via Hienghene and Balade and return along the west coast? We may lose our way a few times, drive down to this beach and the other, drive somewhere for an ice-cream - you know... Your advice is much appreciated! Thanks. |
