Opening hours
Roland Garros Airport is located in the north of Réunion, just outside Saint-Denis, the island’s capital. It is served by numerous airlines, including French Bee, Air Austral, Air Madagascar, Corsair International, and Air France. To reach the airport, you can either rent a car directly at the airport rental area, take a taxi waiting outside the terminal, or use public transport, such as buses, which serve the airport and the main towns of the island.
To enter Réunion and pass through Immigration at Roland Garros Airport, adult passengers should carry a valid national ID card (for French travelers) or a valid passport (for foreign travelers). Children traveling alone or minors (French nationals) traveling with a parent must have a valid national ID card or passport. For more information, please consult the traveler assistance section on the official Réunion Airport website.
After a long flight, it’s natural to want comfort, drop off your luggage, take a shower, and toast the start of your vacation. Renting a car at Réunion Airport is one of the most practical and convenient ways to begin your stay.
Upon arrival, you could take a taxi or bus to your hotel, but eventually, you’ll need a rental car. Getting around Réunion can be challenging due to limited public transport schedules, frequent delays, complex roads, and difficult-to-access trails. Renting a car at the airport ensures a vehicle is ready and waiting for you, eliminating the need to visit another rental location. Returning your car at the airport at the end of your stay is equally convenient — simply drive to the terminal, return the vehicle, and board your flight stress-free.
Choosing a rental car at Roland Garros Airport can save you transfer fees, taxi rides, or public transport costs to reach your hotel or another rental agency in town.
Our airport branch offers extended opening hours to match flight arrivals and departures, from Monday to Sunday, 6:30 AM to 9:00 PM. Whether you arrive early in the morning or late at night, our team is available to assist you upon arrival and departure.
