Airport Car Hire
Hire a car at Mauritius Airport! Then drive to Grand Bay to enjoy the beaches, bars, and restaurants, the laid-back island atmosphere and lively nightlife. Pereybère is another great beach that’s easy to reach with your rental. At a lot of beaches, you can take a boat trip, scuba dive, water ski, or go dolphin and whale watching. You can also head inland to take a jungle tour.
There’s a beautiful Maheswarnath Hindu temple in the village of Triolet, and if you’re travelling with kids, take a day trip to see the animals at the Vanille Réserve des Mascareignes. The village of Flacq has a terrific food market, perfect for lunch on the go. And be sure to try Mauritian cuisine—it’s a delicious mix of Indian, French, and African influences.
Mauritius isn’t big, but there’s so much to explore. So why not get a longer term car rental, extend your vacation, and discover more? You can even pick up your car at Mauritius Airport and drop it off at a different location. Start planning your adventure now!

The hospitality of Mauritian people is outstanding as is the natural beauty of the island. Very high standards of accommodation and cuisine. Table d hote is a must do. My husband tried his hand at sailing 😊 and we all enjoyed our holiday very much -time flew past.
whilst the UK was experiencing inprecedented heatwave Mauritus was experiancing unseasonably cold, wet and very windy weather which meant some of the sea based activities were not possible - so we have a good excuse to go back

The island has a lot of history so a visit to many of the main sugar cane museums and houses is recommended, we traveled all around the island on the coast road and got a proper feel for the lifestyle of the local people.

Definitely rent a car in Mauritius, it's easy to get around and enables you to go and see all the wonderful places this country has to offer. If using google maps add on extra time to your journey as the roads are small and people drive slowly.
