About Driving in New Caledonia
Similar to the neighbouring countries of Australia, New Zealand, Japan and Fiji, car ownership is very high, due to the very low population density of the nation. While public transportation is possible inNouméa, once you get out of the city, your options are limited to tour buses and private car, and if you wish to visit places away from major tourist centres near Nouméa, the only option left is car. 90% of the population also lives in the Grande Terre, so that's where the best infrastructure is. Because it is still a French territory, most of the road rules that apply in France also apply in New Caledonia as well. This also means that New Caledonians drive on the right side of the road, and drive left handed cars, unlike neighbouring Australia, New Zealand, Japan or Fiji. Travel times fr
