By Air By Road Car - Driving is on the left side and you can rent a car with ease in Mauritius. Local drivers seldom observe driving rules here and the roads can be potholed, without pavements and with slow-moving pedestrians claiming the road as their own. If you are lucky, you may find smooth roads. An international driving license will suffice, but car rental companies require proof that you are over 23 years of age. Taxis - Taxis in Mauritius are expensive, especially after dark (when you really need them!). It is a very good idea to agree on the price before setting off—ask the locals for information on reasonable fares. The alternative to taxis in places like Grand Baie is to rent a motorbike. One can also rent bicycles in most areas—this may be the best way to soak in some local atmosphere in an unhurried way. Waterways |
