Driving in Mauritius
What to Know Before You Drive
Licence
Bring your valid driving licence and passport. An International Driving Permit is useful if your licence is not in English or French.
Left-hand driving
Mauritius drives on the left. Roundabouts, village roads and mountain bends need slower, more careful driving.
Fuel
Fuel stations are common around towns and main roads, but fill up before long south, east or mountain routes.
Parking and speed
Use marked parking where possible and follow posted speed limits. Beach and market areas can get tight during weekends.
