Mauritius Busses Taxis Car-rental
Busses:
Busses are almost everywhere! The busses are not very comfortable,
but therefore very cheap: you can reach Port Louis from all spots of
the island for less than Euro 1,-!
Time-tables are existing, but nobody has ever seen one. So better go
to the bus stop and wait: Normally the next bus is coming within a few
minutes. Ask the local before you die of desperation, they are very
helpful. Busses are driving only during daylight! ‘Express’
busses are usually a little more expensive, but therefor they use the
direct way and are sometimes equipped with air conditioning.
Taxis:
You pay taxis always for both ways. Therefore its cheaper to let a
taxi wait than to take a second one home. Just fix the price before
departure and pay at the end.
Tip: taxi drivers are good guides. Take a taxi for a full day and let
him show you the best places. Just be sure to fix the price before!
Car-rental:
Don’t forget: we are driving on the left side of the road. And
the way we are driving a lot of people have to get used to it. Signs?
Sometimes! Welcome to the adventure!
All international companies (Europcar, Hertz, Avis etc.) have a counter
at the airport. Cheaper are the private companies in the tourist areas.
Please note that all registered car rentals must have yellow plates!
Rate: as from Euro 30 per day.
