SUV or 4x4: Which Rental Car is Best Suited for French Guiana?

If you're planning to stick to the main roads connecting Cayenne, Kourou, and Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni, an SUV can be an excellent choice. It offers more comfort and space than a standard car and is perfectly suited for national roads and tourist site access.However, if your journey takes you to more remote areas, a 4x4 is essential. Forest trails, unpaved roads, and muddy paths during the rainy season require all-wheel drive and higher ground clearance to ensure safe and smooth driving.📍 Examples of routes suitable for SUVs:

• Main roads between Cayenne, Kourou, and Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni

• Access to Montjoly beaches, the Guyana Zoo, and the Cayenne market

📍 Examples of routes requiring a 4x4:

• Excursions to Saül and isolated forest villages

• Traversing dirt roads to Cacao or Régina

• Expeditions into the deep Amazon rainforest

Our Europcar agencies will help you select the most suitable vehicle for your itinerary.
