FH6 Fast Travel Boards Guide — All 50 Locations & Strategy
Stop driving 12 minutes to the next race. Here's how to unlock free fast travel everywhere.
I spent my first 20 hours in FH6 driving everywhere. Every event, every barn find, every festival outpost — just raw mileage on the odometer. Which is fine, honestly. Driving is kind of the point. But after the hundredth time I had to drive from the southern tip of the map to the northernmost festival site to collect a barn find, I cracked. I spent an afternoon smashing every fast travel board on the map, unlocked the free fast travel house, and never looked back.
Fast travel boards are the single biggest quality-of-life upgrade in FH6. Here's everything you need to know: how they work, where they are, which ones to prioritize, and what you get when you collect them all.
How Fast Travel Works
Fast travel lets you teleport to any road on the map that you've already driven on, plus any festival site or house you own. Without upgrades, fast travel costs credits — usually a few thousand per jump, which adds up fast over a hundred hours of gameplay.
There are two ways to make fast travel better:
1. Smash Fast Travel boards. There are 50 Fast Travel boards scattered across the map. Every board you smash reduces the credit cost of fast travel by a small percentage. Smash all 50 and fast travel becomes free — no credits, no cooldown, just instant teleportation.
2. Buy the Castillo Del Mar house. This house (500,000 CR, located on the western coast) gives you free fast travel permanently, regardless of how many boards you've smashed. If you have 500,000 CR and you've been driving around smashing boards for two hours, go buy the house instead. It's faster.
The optimal strategy is to do both. Smash boards while driving between events — it takes no extra time and gradually reduces your travel costs. Buy Castillo Del Mar when you have the credits. If you smash boards early, you'll save thousands of credits before you buy the house. If you buy the house early, you don't need the boards at all. Your call.
Best Collection Route
There are 50 Fast Travel boards spread across the entire FH6 map — from the Caribbean coast to the volcanic highlands. Trying to collect them all by wandering around is going to take forever. Here's the most efficient route I've found after doing this three times on different save files.
Phase 1: The Highway Sweep (10-12 boards, 15 minutes)
Start at the main festival site and drive north along the main highway. Most of the early boards are along or very close to the highway — on overpasses, behind billboards, tucked into rest stops. Use a fast car (S1 or above) so you're not spending more time driving than smashing. The highway boards are the easiest to collect because you don't need to go off-road at all. This phase alone cuts your fast travel cost by about 25%.
Phase 2: The Western Coastline (8-10 boards, 20 minutes)
From the northern end of the highway, cut west toward the ocean. Follow the coastal road south. The boards here are mostly on the beach or on cliff edges overlooking the water. Some of them require a short off-road detour — bring something all-wheel drive with a bit of ground clearance. The coastal boards are satisfying to collect because half of them are sitting in scenic spots you'd drive to anyway.
Phase 3: The Central Farmland (8-10 boards, 15 minutes)
The flat agricultural area in the middle of the map has boards placed in annoyingly creative locations: on top of barn roofs, inside drainage pipes, behind silos. A lot of these require you to actually stop and look around. Use the drone mode (accessible from the pause menu) to scout board locations from the air before driving to them. It saves you the frustration of driving to a GPS marker and realizing the board is on a roof you can't reach from ground level.
Phase 4: The Mountain Region (8-10 boards, 25 minutes)
The volcanic highlands and mountain passes. These are the hardest boards to collect because the terrain is vertical and some boards are at the bottom of ravines or on the tops of rocky outcroppings. Bring an off-road vehicle with good climbing ability — the Ford F-150 Raptor or Jeep Trailcat. You're going to be doing a lot of uphill scrambling. The mountain boards are spaced far apart, so budget extra time. Expect to miss a few and have to double back.
Phase 5: The Southern Jungle (remaining boards, 20 minutes)
The dense jungle in the southern part of the map has boards hidden under tree canopy, inside temple ruins, and along riverbeds. These are the hardest to spot because the GPS marker gets you close but the board is invisible from the road due to vegetation. Use drone mode constantly. The jungle boards are tedious but they're the last ones, and finishing the collection here feels appropriately dramatic — emerging from the jungle with 50/50 boards smashed.
Total time: About 90 minutes if you're efficient. Less if you've already collected some boards naturally while playing. More if you get distracted by PR stunts and barn finds along the way (which, let's be honest, you will).
Priority Boards to Smash First
If you don't want to collect all 50 in one session, here are the boards that give you the most value per minute:
Highway boards (10-12 boards). These are the fastest to collect because they're all in a straight line and easy to reach. You'll get 20-25% of the total discount in 15 minutes. This is the best time-to-value ratio in the entire collection.
Festival site boards (6 boards). Each festival outpost has one Fast Travel board on or very close to the site. Since you're visiting festival sites constantly anyway, smashing these boards takes literally zero extra time. Just drive around the perimeter of each site when you first unlock it and look for the purple board icon.
House location boards (5-7 boards). Every house you can buy has a Fast Travel board somewhere nearby. When you go to purchase a house, spend an extra minute scanning the area for the board. You're already there, might as well grab it.
Drag strip boards (2 boards). There are two boards at either end of the main drag strip on the eastern side of the map. You'll visit the drag strip for story events and online racing anyway. Smash these when you're there.
Collecting just these priority boards — the highway, festival site, house, and drag strip boards — gets you to about 25-30 boards, which is more than half the collection, for about 35 minutes of focused effort. At that point fast travel costs roughly 50% less. Good enough for most players.
What You Get for 100%
Smashing all 50 Fast Travel boards gives you three things:
1. Free fast travel. This is the main reward and it's transformative. No more debating whether a 5,000 CR fast travel is worth it. No more driving 12 minutes to the far corner of the map. You just open the map, pick a road, and you're there. It fundamentally changes how you play FH6 — you spend more time in the events you actually want to do and less time on the highway.
2. An accolade for collecting all Fast Travel boards. Every accolade counts toward your total, and this one is worth a decent chunk of points. The accolade pops the moment you smash the 50th board, and it's one of the more satisfying completion sounds in the game.
3. The satisfaction of never seeing a purple board icon again. After 50 hours of those things taunting you from rooftops and riverbeds, cleaning the map of every last one feels like finishing a long-overdue chore. It's not a gameplay benefit, exactly, but your map looks cleaner and your brain can rest.
One note: if you already own Castillo Del Mar (the free fast travel house), smashing boards is purely for completion and accolade credit. You don't need to do it. The house overrides the board discount entirely — free is free regardless of how many boards you've smashed. So if you're credit-rich and time-poor, buy the house and skip the boards. If you're credit-poor and time-rich (the more likely scenario for new players), smash the boards and save that 500,000 CR for something else.
Tips for Efficient Board Hunting
A few things I learned the hard way:
Use the drone. Drone mode (pause menu, then drone) lets you fly a camera around in a big radius from your car. When the GPS says a board is nearby but you can't see it, pop the drone, fly up 30 meters, and spin the camera. Nine times out of ten the board is on a roof, behind a wall, or under a canopy that you'd never spot from the driver's seat. The drone also marks the board's exact location on your minimap when you get close.
Bring a small, nimble car for tight spots. Some boards are wedged into alleyways, under overpasses, or between buildings where a wide-bodied supercar simply won't fit. The Mitsubishi Evo or Subaru WRX are perfect — small footprint, all-wheel drive, and enough power to climb rough terrain.
Don't bother with danger sign ramp boards yet. There are a few boards that sit on top of danger sign ramps, and the intended way to collect them is to hit the ramp at speed and smash the board mid-air. This is super fun. It's also frustrating when you miss and have to loop back for another run. Collect the ground-level boards first and save the ramp boards for a separate session when you're in the mood for stunt jumps.
Turn off the radio. The board-hunting soundtrack after 60 minutes gets repetitive no matter what station you pick. Silence is golden when you're grinding out a collection.
Collect while doing other things. The best way to hunt boards is to not hunt boards at all — just smash any board you pass while doing other activities. Every time you drive to a new event, check the minimap. Purple icons within 200 meters are worth the detour. You'll passively collect 30+ boards in 30 hours of normal gameplay without a single dedicated hunting session.
