Why Rent a Car in Mauritius?

Mauritius airport transfers

Mauritius is an island full of surprises, just waiting to be discovered. Each region offers a distinct experience for travelers.

The north is the most developed part of the island, featuring vibrant nightlife, shopping centers, and a wide variety of restaurants. It's a lively hub for both locals and tourists. The west lures visitors with its calm lagoons and stunning white-sand beaches, perfect for water sports and sunset walks along the beach. In contrast, the south offers a more natural, unspoiled landscape, especially around Black River Gorges National Park, where you'll find lush forests, waterfalls, and native vegetation. The east remains quieter and less visited, with pristine beaches, sometime strong breezes, and a slower pace of life — ideal for a peaceful retreat.

    An excellent experience. Car Hire and Taxi Service from and too the airport was faultless. The tracking of the hire car whilst in Mauritius was a bonus, as a woman on her own. I had no need of the service, but the fact that it was part of the package was very reassuring.
