Long-term car rental: the alternative to buying a car in Mauritius

Having a car is almost necessary in Mauritius, but buying a car can be tricky and expensive. Have you considered renting instead?

Are you in Mauritius for a short stay or just a few months each year? Maybe you’d like to get settled before investing in a vehicle, or perhaps you simply want the convenience of having a car without the hassle of ownership. If so, renting a car is a great option to consider.

Many car rental companies on the island offer medium and long-term rental agreements, which are more financially advantageous than the short-term rentals typically used by tourists. With a fixed monthly fee and a minimum rental period, car rental provides several benefits:

  • Cost management: you won't have to worry about maintenance and "fitness" fees, road tax, or insurance costs
  • Peace of mind: most rental agreements include a replacement vehicle in case of any issues (make sure to negotiate this with your rental provider)
  • Time-saving: avoid the administrative processes involved in purchasing a vehicle and renewing its licences.

Rental companies usually offer the convenience of delivering the car to your home or having it ready for you at the airport upon your arrival in Mauritius.
