Picked up a compact SUV at Jeju International Airport in March. Paperwork was straightforward, vehicle was clean and ready. Drove the full coastal loop on Route 1132, stopped at Seongsan Ilchulbong and Manjanggul lava tube. Ground clearance handled the Hallasan trailhead car parks without issues. Returned the vehicle on time, inspection took five minutes. Smooth process from start to finish.
We spent a week exploring Jeju with a sedan from 4Drive Korea. Got to Jungmun resort area, Cheonjiyeon Waterfall, and Seopjikoji cape without any trouble. Fuel stations were easy to find - GS Caltex and SK Energy every 20 km or so. The booking advance online was simple, paid the rest with a debit card at pickup. Vehicle had good fuel economy for the 180 km coastal drive.
Arranged delivery to our hotel in Yeon-dong instead of airport pickup. Driver arrived exactly on time with a clean vehicle and all documents. We drove east to the Udo Island ferry terminal at Seongsan, about 45 km from Jeju city. Ferry booking was an add-on service we arranged through the rental company. Seven days of driving, no mechanical issues, return inspection matched the initial condition report perfectly.
Solid experience overall. Vehicle ran well, covered Hallasan National Park approaches and the northeast coast without problems. Only small issue - car had minor exterior scratches from previous renters that were already marked in the contract. Not a big deal, but worth checking the inspection sheet carefully before you drive off. Otherwise everything worked exactly as described, and the local company staff were helpful.
First time driving in South Korea, and the right-hand traffic took about 20 minutes to get used to. The International Driving Permit was checked at pickup along with my home licence. We booked a vehicle with higher ground clearance for gravel mountain roads near Hallasan - good decision for the rougher trailhead access routes. Picked up at the airport counter, returned after six days, no surprises on the final check.
Travelled with two kids, so we added child seats as extra services when booking. Both were fitted and ready when we collected the vehicle in January. Drove the southern route to Jungmun and around to the western coast. Roads were quiet in winter, speed limits clearly posted - 50-60 km/h in towns, 60-80 on rural stretches. Vehicle heating worked well during the mild winter weather. Efficient service from 4Drive Korea throughout.
Booked a larger vehicle for a group trip around Jeju. Added a second driver during the booking process, which saved time when covering longer distances each day. Route 1132 coastal loop is around 180 km, easy to complete in sections. Stopped at Manjanggul lava tube, Seongsan sunrise peak, and multiple beach spots. Fuel was straightforward - S-Oil and GS Caltex stations had English-language card readers. Entire process was clear and professional.
We picked up from Jeju Airport in September, just after typhoon season warnings ended. Weather was fine, autumn driving conditions were ideal. The voucher from 4Drive Korea included all the local company contact details, which was reassuring. Drove 40 km east to Seongsan Ilchulbong, then south through Hallasan routes. Vehicle handled well on both coastal roads and steeper inland sections. Returned with a full tank, walked away in ten minutes.
