Top tips for hiring a car in Port Louis

  • Opting for a car rental in Port Louis offers remarkable advantages over public transportation. With a rental car, you gain the freedom to explore the city's diverse attractions at your pace, avoiding the constraints of schedules and crowded buses. You can effortlessly journey to iconic sites like the Caudan Waterfront, Champs de Mars Racecourse, and Aapravasi Ghat, while also having the flexibility to venture beyond the city to discover hidden gems like Pamplemousses Botanical Garden and Le Morne Brabant.

  • The nearest airport to Port Louis is Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport (MRU).

This seamless setup ensures swift access to your chosen rental car, making Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport a convenient starting point for your exploration of Port Louis and the beautiful island of Mauritius.
  • Port Louis car hire provides an enriching experience. Driving is on the left side of the road, a legacy of British influence. Locals often drive compact cars and SUVs, suited for the city's bustling streets and nearby scenic routes. Driving in Mauritius is generally relaxed, though it's important to be attentive due to the mix of traffic. Cyclists are common, especially in urban areas, so vigilance is necessary.
