Luxury Car Hire in Mauritius: Drive Yourself or Take a Chauffeur?
Self-drive luxury car hire in Mauritius suits a stay where you want to explore the island yourself and are at ease driving on the left on narrow roads, many of them lined with deep ditches. If your plans are mostly the airport run and dinners out, several resorts arrange chauffeur or limousine transfers through the concierge.
Best Time to Visit Mauritius: Month by Month
October is the best month for most trips to Mauritius: it is the driest of the year and comes just before the cyclone season. Choose November to April for the warmest sea and accept more rain, and skip January to March if rain or cyclones would spoil the trip.
Road trip à l'île Maurice
Vous voulez faire le tour de l'île Maurice en voiture. Voici une boucle en cinq secteurs et sept étapes, de l'aéroport vers le sud-est, l'intérieur du sud-ouest, la péninsule du Morne, la côte ouest avec la capitale, puis le nord. Les distances restent courtes ; surveillez la conduite à gauche, les routes étroites et l'état de la voiture au départ.

Driving in Mauritius: What to Know Before You Hire a Car
You drive on the left side of the road in Mauritius, as in the UK. Before you collect a rental car, sort out three things: your licence and any permit, narrow roads shared with motorbikes and pedestrians, and the local speed limits.
