Before you drive
Driving in Mauritius, made simple.
A rental car gives you freedom, but island driving has its own rhythm. Keep these basics in mind before you set off.
Drive on the left
Mauritius drives on the left. Take extra care at roundabouts, village roads and mountain bends.
Licence & passport
Carry your valid driving licence and passport. An International Driving Permit can help if your licence is not in English or French.
Fuel planning
Fuel stations are common around towns and main roads. Fill up before long south, east or mountain routes.
Plan your stops with our South Mauritius travel guide. For an eastern route, use our East Mauritius travel guide.
Parking & speed
Use marked parking where possible and follow posted limits. Beach and market areas can get tight at busy times.
Make the car worth it
Popular self-drive road trips.
Turn the rental into an island experience. These existing Mauritius Explored itineraries are made for flexible stops along the way.
Choose your stops from the best places to visit in Mauritius before planning the drive.
Car rental FAQ
Questions before you book.
A rental car is useful if you want beaches, viewpoints and food stops at your own pace. If you prefer not to drive, use taxis or private transfers for longer days.
Compare our Mauritius itineraries to decide how much driving suits your stay.
