Car Rental / Hire in Mauritius island

by David.david

We booked a rented car through www.carhire.mu and had the best online rates around - Booking was a simple process. The car was delivered at the airport and picked up too. Their Staff was very friendly, helpful and reliable. The car was new and we really enjoyed our stay in Mauritius. We would recommend ROYAL CAR MAURITIUS to anyone else.

Rent a Car

by Donna_in_India

Get a map and rent a car to get around the island. It's a small island and it's fairly easy to drive around. Getting lost once or twice can be an adventure. Driving is on the left side. Your own local license is accepted.

Local Bus Service

by Jaxter11

Please do not feel daunted about using the local bus system in Mauritius. I must admit that I felt a bit of trepidation, but within days I was using the local buses to take me around and across the entire island.The cost of the bus is ridiculously cheap, between $1 and $2 per trip (up to 60 Mauritian rupees), and that can be for a couple of hours. The buses have the ability to take you everywhere.For the time rich, money poor traveller this is definately the way to go. I enjoyed hanging out with the locals while getting to see most of the islands countryside and inner cities. The buses can be slow, and tend to fill up quite fast, so travelling outside of the peak times always made this easier.You pay for the trip while on the bus and as it is moving. There is a designated ticket officer on each bus in addition to the driver, so I would recommend always having a handful of change...

Air Mauritius

by amapola66

Took an eleven and a half hour direct flight to Mauritius with Air Mauritius! (Virigin do fly there, but not direct).On the way out, we were 1st class (they had another name for it, can't remember offhand) and on the way back, economy (tried to get upgraded, but there were only very few business class seats alloted).Air Mauritius lounge was nice and had a good supply of nibbles, booze and mags. Received a glass of bubbly and a bag of goodies on board, food not bad at all. At the front of the plane it was very quiet with alot of people sleeping right through (wish I could do that!). Special reclining seats, not that great.Coming back in economy - no bubbly or goody bag, but rather enjoyed it more as the Handsome Man and I had two seats togther without anyone else and those two seats were rather more comfortable (odd I know, but there you go!)Offered an upgrade to first class on return,...

CAR HIRE MAURITIUS

by Steven_Cole

Through virtual tourist I came across DH CAR RENTAL MAURITIUS. We indeed followed the tip and booked through their online site www.dhcarrental.com and had the car delivered directly to the airport. We did save on the hotel transfer cost of 50 Euros/ each way and had a great price for the car. We paid 25 Euros Net per day for a 2-weeks rental. The car was new, had unlimited mileage, full comprehensive insurance. During our previous stays we booked through International car agencies but we definitely got a much better deal this time. I do recommend anyone of you travelling there to book directly through DH Car. Have a great trip!

DH CAR RENTAL MAURITIUS

by EleniaAndrei

Hello,I have just been to Mauritius as well and had an absolute time. We stayed in G-Baie and really enjoyed the night-life, clubbing, boat trips and excursions. We did rent a scooter one day but found it expensive rs 700!. We then found a car rental website online called DH Car rental Mauritius (www.dhcarrental.com) with very competitive rates at around 25 EUROS per day all inclusive. We went all around the island, petrol stations are easy to find, and really discovered the real MAuritius.DH Location de Voitures Ile Maurice

Local transportation in Mauritius

by Anjan123

In Mauritius, you can take a taxi for a day at about Rs. 2200-2500 per day for taking you to all tourist places. Taxi for say 30 to 40 minute rides cost about Rs 7-800. Buses are good and when we traveeled, were not crowded at all. We travelled in non peak hours and only 3 times so they may be crowded at other times. Bus fares are approx. Rs. 18 per adult for a 20 minute ride. Children above 6 pay half fare.

Taxi in Mauritius

by Camimi

The best way to explore the island is by taxi. The driver takes you everywhere and it is not expensive. You can rent it for one day, many beautiful places & beaches to discover! I will highly recommend you to contact Dolane from taximauritius.com for your airport transfer,island discovery,excursions etc..
