Top tips for hiring a car in Mauritius

  • The use of toll roads is a recent phenomenon in Mauritius, so avoiding them will not be too difficult for the foreseeable future; but you might consider using them to avoid heavy congestion on much-used roads and highways, or resort to public transportation. Plans are also in place for a new metro system to address the problem of chronic traffic conditions.
  • Parking is free and unrestricted outside of Port Louis and other major cities, which will come as a relief to anyone who decides to rent a car in Mauritius. You will need a ticket in order to park in one of the urban centers; those can be obtained from any petrol station you pass. Parking rates are generally about 10 MUR (about 0.30 USD) per half hour and fines are common, so plan accordingly.
  • There are few traffic lights in use in Mauritius outside of urban areas, so vigilance is required when approaching any intersections or roundabouts in rural areas. Also, there are very strict policies about driving while under the influence, so it is not recommended to drive your rental car if you have had a couple of drinks. Be safe and use a designated driver, or get a cab instead.
  • Among the major tourist attractions in Mauritius are Black River Gorges National Park in the south and the Le Morne Brabant peninsula in the southwest, where land meets the Indian Ocean. If you love coastal drives, take the A3 south from Port Louis, which becomes Route 89 around Black River, running parallel to the coast through Le Morne and beyond, when it becomes the A9 along the southern coast.
