Mauritius Car Rental Mini Guide

We have various locations across the country where you can collect your hire car, however the main pick up point for vehicles in Mauritius is the Plaisance international airport. Booking your car hire in advance online with Rhino means that when you land at the airport you can collect your hire car straightaway and get on the road, with no annoying queues or filling in lengthy forms at the rental desk!

Mauritius is a small island situated to the east of Madagascar in the Indian Ocean. It is a stunning tropical island and the best time of year to visit is between May to November when cooling trade winds make the temperature delightful.  Mauritius is located off the coast of Africa and is a destination for luxury holidays given the intense beauty of the country. Its main cities are the capital Port Louis, Beau Bassin, Rose Hill, Quatre Bornes, Phoenix, Vacoas and Curepipe.

FAQs - How can we help?

There are always some points on which you are not sure when hiring a car, so we have done our best to answer the frequently asked questions. Just click this link and you will find the questions are sorted by category for easy navigation.

Should you hire a car in Mauritius?

Whether you are going to Mauritius on a family holiday or taking your partner for a romantic getaway, probably the best method of seeing all that this stunning island has to offer is to hire a car and be your own boss at the wheel. If you need a vehicle with a larger capacity to transport the family around safely, we have a great selection of suitable vehicles such as the Toyota Avanza which can easily accommodate up to 7 passengers and all their luggage.

If you're on a romantic holiday and want to enjoy the sunshine to the maximum, consider renting a Jeep or other SUV or when available a convertible rental car in Mauritius, but be quick as they sell as fast as always in high demand.
