FH6 Fast Travel — Get It Free & Never Pay Again

Fast travel is the single biggest quality of life thing in FH6 and I'm not exaggerating. Without it you spend half your playtime just driving between events. Fun for the first 10 hours maybe. Gets old fast. With it unlocked and free? You bounce between races, PR stunts, barn finds in seconds. Legit changes how you play the whole game and I wish someone had yelled at me to do this first.

Same system as FH5 basically. Two things: the right house, and all 50 fast travel bonus boards. Sounds simple enough right? It's a grind. Worth every minute though. Here's the fastest way I've found to knock both out without losing your mind.

Step 1: Buy the Fast Travel House

You need the house that has the Fast Travel Anywhere perk. In FH5 it was Buenas Vistas on the western coast for 2 million CR. FH6 has the same deal — look for one of the expensive houses, coastline or hilltop with a view. The description mentions fast travel somewhere in the perks. Scroll through the available houses and read. You'll find it.

How to afford it early without grinding: Don't grind races for 2 million credits. Takes forever, boring as hell. Flip cars at the Auction House instead. Buy popular stuff cheap during off peak hours (weekday mornings are dead), hold them for 2 to 3 days, sell during weekend peak. I've done this on multiple accounts and it works every single time. You can make 2 million CR in your first week without winning a single race. Another option: the Goliath pays roughly 150k per clean run with difficulty maxed out. Slower but you actually get to race, which is kind of the point.

Don't buy it too early though. If you're still in the first few hours that 2 million is better spent on cars and upgrades. Fast travel matters more once the map opens up and events spread everywhere. Buy it around when you unlock your third Horizon Festival site. That timing worked perfectly for me.

Step 2: Smash All 50 Fast Travel Bonus Boards

Each bonus board knocks 200 CR off the fast travel cost. 50 boards total, across the whole map. Some are in genuinely annoying spots but the math is dead simple:

Step 3: Collect Boards Efficiently

1. Buy the treasure map first. If it's available. Usually 3 bucks or included with Premium Edition. Just buy it — reveals every board and barn find and beauty spot on the whole map instantly. Saves you hours. Hours! If you don't wanna spend real money, use the in-game map filter instead. Boards appear as you discover roads near them but half stay hidden until you're basically on top of them. Kind of a pain honestly.
2. Use the right car. Hoonigan RS200 is the gold standard for board hunting. Fast on roads and literally unstoppable off road. Small enough to slip between trees too. Ford Bronco Raptor works, Ariel Nomad works, but the RS200 is meta. Do not use a hypercar — half these boards need off road approaches and you'll spend more time resetting than collecting. Tried it with a Jesko once. Absolute disaster.
3. Work region by region. Don't zigzag across the map chasing individual boards. That's the noob trap. Pick a zone, clear every board in it, then fast travel to the next zone. Yeah you pay for fast travel while hunting but the 20 to 30k you burn is nothing compared to the hour of driving you save. Totally worth it.
4. Danger sign boards need specific approaches. Some boards are on roofs and water towers and cliff edges — ramp jumps needed. I use the Rimac Nevera or the Jesko. Their acceleration is so broken you barely need a run up. Short approach, hit the ramp, done. Aim a little above the board cause the car drops a bit mid flight. Miss? Rewind immediately. No shame in rewinding. These are the ones that'll make you rage.
5. Expect 1.5 to 2 hours to collect all 50 boards with the treasure map and a good off road car. Without the treasure map? Budget 3 to 4 hours. Put on a podcast or something. It's a chill grind honestly.

FH6 vs FH5 — What Changed

The core system is the same. FH6's map is just bigger so the boards are more spread out. Takes a bit longer. A few boards in FH6 are genuinely evil though — there's one inside a ruined church you have to jump into through a broken roof. Another one is on a moving ferry. A moving ferry! You have to time your jump as it passes a ramp. These are rare, like maybe 3 or 4 out of the 50, but they'll drive you absolutely insane if you don't know the trick beforehand. YouTube is your friend for these specific ones.

Is Free Fast Travel Worth the Time?

If you're gonna play FH6 for more than 20 hours: yeah, absolutely. No question. The 2 hours collecting boards saves you 10+ hours of driving between events. Easy math. If you're a completionist who wants every achievement and every car, this is job number one. Right after buying the house. First priority. Don't be like me and wait 30 hours.

If you're casual and don't mind the drive: get to 25 boards and stop. 5,000 CR per trip, cheap enough you won't notice. Skip the really annoying board locations. Good enough. Don't torture yourself for the last 25 if you don't need to.
