Taxis:
In Fiji taxis are available to provide their services at a reasonable price to your destination. For FJ$2 to FJ$3, you could travel to most places in the average town or city.
Taxis in urban areas have meters with a flag at $1.50 and $2.00 after 10.00pm. . The metered areas, in which Taxis must charge passengers according to the distance travelled are Lautoka , Nadi including Nadi International Airport, Sigatoka, Navua, Lami, Suva , Nausori including Nausori Airport. However, in smaller towns and rural areas, taxis use a fixed price system and most locals can tell you the price to your destination. If you are intending to hire for longer trips than you should negotiate with the driver and both parties will have to mutually agree on the price. You can also hire a taxi for a day or half a day for a fixed price.
Buses and Public Transportation:
In Fiji, there is a wide range of air-conditioned coaches serving resorts for tourists. However, the local open-windowed buses service is also available. In the local open-windowed buses the canvas flaps are unfurled. This is the most common form of transportation in Fiji. Local buses allow the you to experience a ride, just by stopping a bus at any bus stop along the road or at the bus stations in every town.
Rentals:
Hire and Rental cars are available at international airports and major resorts. You must ensure you have a valid driving license from your home country, this will enable you to hire a rental car, after being sighted by the Rental Car company. Hire vehicles are usually driven by the owner themselves.
There are highways from Rakiraki to Suva, via Tavua, Ba, Lautoka, Nadi and the Coral Coast. The highway speed limit is between 60km/h to 80km/h depending on location. Speed within town boundaries and built up areas is 50km/h.
Minibuses:
There are also Minibuses, which ply thier trade along most trunk routes. Please be aware that legal Minibuses carry a yellow number plate (all legal PSVs have yellow number plates), which mean they carry insurance for passengers they carry. These normally travel from town to town and do not, as a rule, stop in between the urban centers.
