About Renting a Car at Le Port Center

Le Port is Réunion's most important port city, located in the northwestern part of the island about 15 km west of Saint-Denis and 5 km from Roland Garros airport.

Le Port borders Saint-Paul, known for its picturesque market and historic seaside cemetery, just 8 km south.
