Facts about renting a car in Mauritius
Driving in Mauritius offers a unique way to explore the island's stunning landscapes and vibrant communities, though there are important regulations and tips to keep in mind for a safe and enjoyable experience.
Like in the UK, driving is on the left-hand side of the road in Mauritius. This orientation extends to the vehicle, which means the driver’s seat is on the right side of the car.
Tourists wishing to drive in Mauritius need to have a valid driver's license from their home country. An International Driving Permit (IDP) is recommended and often required by car rental agencies. Additionally, you should always carry your passport or a copy of it along with your driving documents.
Roads in Mauritius are generally in good condition, especially the main roads and highways. However, secondary roads, particularly in rural areas, can be narrow and less maintained, which requires cautious driving.
Driving in Mauritius as a tourist is relatively straightforward, especially if you are familiar with left-hand driving. Road signs are clear and usually in English, making navigation easier. However, local driving styles can be aggressive and unpredictable, so it’s advisable to drive defensively.
The legal blood alcohol limit in Mauritius is 0.05% – stricter than many other countries.
When driving in Mauritius, be mindful of pedestrians and cyclists, especially on narrower roads. Parking can sometimes be a challenge in busy areas like Port Louis or popular tourist spots, so plan accordingly.
If you need help while in Mauritius, don't hesitate to contact our office. In an emergency, the national emergency numbers are 999 and 112. These numbers can be used to reach police, fire services, or medical help.
