Suva - Post Report Question and Answers

What kind of car do you recommend bringing to post, given the terrain, availability of parts, burglary/carjacking risks, etc.? What kind of car do you advise not to bring?

Fiji is a right hand drive country, but you can bring in a left hand drive as a diplomat. You can only sell your left-hand drive car to another diplomat. A lot of people had SUVs, but a small car will work fine. Quite a few people end up ordering a used car from Japan. You will see lots of Priuses in Fiji. - Oct 2018


Do NOT bring a convertible - it will be broken into. Sad, but true... A small SUV is perfect for here, but smaller cars are also fine. The #1 car on the roads in Suva is the Prius - they are everywhere. - Apr 2016
