Vehicle insurance

Third-party vehicle insurance is compulsory in Mauritius. Other options exist for your peace of mind on Mauritian roads: protection of the car, driver, passengers, etc.

This covers your equipment as well as any potential damage to your boat, whether on the water, on land or in transit. Mauritian law requires boat owners to have third-party insurance, protecting you in the event of accidental damage to third parties, including passengers.
