If you’re visiting Huahine and want an easy, affordable way to explore the island, renting a scooter in Fare is the perfect option. We rented from a small local spot called Fare Rentals Huahine, and it couldn’t have been a better experience. The scooters were in great shape, prices were fair, and exploring by scooter made it easy to see parts of the island we never would have reached otherwise.
Finding Fare Rentals
Fare Rentals is right in downtown Fare. Honestly, we thought we were in the wrong place at first since it’s tucked in among some house buildings and doesn’t look like a typical rental shop, but it’s absolutely the right spot. Look for the small sign on the gate. The owners are incredibly kind and helpful, even though they don’t speak much English. We managed just fine with smiles, gestures, and a little Google Translate.
They even pointed us toward a nearby ATM so we could grab cash, and later delivered our backpacks to our Airbnb so we didn’t have to ride with them. That kind of extra effort really says a lot about the people here.

Riding Around Huahine
Driving here is simple and stress-free. There’s hardly any traffic, the roads are beautiful, and the scenery changes constantly with lush mountains, turquoise water, and quiet stretches of countryside. A scooter gives you the freedom to explore every corner of the island at your own pace, stop for photos, and feel that warm island breeze.
