Taxi in Mauritius are a convenient and popular way to get around the island. Cars can be easily found in tourist areas, the airport, near hotels and in city parking lots. Cabs in Mauritius are not painted in a single color, but usually they can be easily distinguished by special signs - a yellow plate on the door and checkers on the roof.

Most cab drivers are private individuals who have bought a license and work for themselves. Uber does not operate in Mauritius.

Cabs on the island work on fixed rates, especially for tourist routes, although some drivers may offer to use the meter, but this is not always practiced, and will be more expensive.

Taxi prices

Taxi prices in Mauritius depend on the distance and the region where you book the car. For example, for trips around the capital Port Louis or between tourist areas, the cost can range from 500 to 1000 MUR (about 10-20 euros). Long-distance trips, such as from one end of the island to the other, can cost more, around 1500-2500 MUR (30-50 euros), depending on the distance.

You can also negotiate a fixed price with the driver for a whole day or a few hours. This is a good option for visiting several attractions. The cost of renting a cab for a day is about 200 euros.

For this option, you can agree directly with the cab driver himself, or you can pick up a car on specialized resources.

Transfers to / from the airport

Below are the current prices for Mauritius airport transfers as of 2024:

  • To the north coast (e.g. Grand Baie or Pereybere) - about 1800-2500 MUR (about 40-50 Euros).
  • To the west coast (Flick en Flac, Tamarine) - about 1800-2200 MUR (40-45 euros).
  • To the south coast (Le Morne, Belle Ombre) - about 1500-2000 MUR (30-40 euros).
  • To the east coast (Belle-Mar, Trou d'Eau-Dus) - about 1500-2200 MUR (30-45 euros).

Most likely at first you will be told the price of 60 or more euros, but you can bargain a little.

We recommend booking a cab in advance through the service - aggregator, which will show the proposals of all companies on the island, it will avoid waiting on the spot - you will be met at the airport with a sign and will take you to the desired hotel.
