From the airport to Grand Baie: taxi or your own car
Grand Baie is on the north coast, at the other end of the island from the airport near Mahébourg. The drive is about 70 km and takes about 1 hour 15 minutes on the motorway past Port Louis, longer at rush hour around the capital. You can collect the car at the airport and drive up yourself; see car hire at Mauritius Airport for the hand-over. Or take a taxi or your hotel transfer and have the car delivered the next morning. After a long overnight flight, many visitors prefer the second option and start driving rested.
Delivered to your hotel in Grand Baie, Pereybère or Trou aux Biches
Every car listed for Grand Baie is delivered (144 of 144 right now, from $29.61 a day): the supplier brings it to reception or to your villa, handles the paperwork there and collects it at the end. The same delivery covers the whole northern resort strip, from Pereybère and Cap Malheureux to Trou aux Biches and Mont Choisy. Give the exact address when you book; villas in residential lanes are easier to find with a map pin.
A practical combination is delivery on the first morning and return at the airport on the day you fly home. Check the offer conditions for any fee for a different return place. We compare international brands and local Mauritian companies side by side, from the same island-wide fleet.
Around Grand Baie: Pereybère, Cap Malheureux, Pamplemousses and Port Louis
The north is compact, so short hops fill the days. Approximate drive times from Grand Baie:
- Pereybère public beach: about 5 minutes.
- Cap Malheureux, the red-roofed church and the view of Coin de Mire: about 15 minutes.
- Trou aux Biches and Mont Choisy beaches: about 15 minutes.
- Pamplemousses botanical garden: about 20 minutes.
- Port Louis, the market and the Caudan waterfront: about 30 minutes outside rush hour.
Catamaran trips to the northern islets leave from the bay itself, so you won't need the car that day. The south-west (Chamarel, Le Morne) makes a long day from the north; if the west coast is a priority, consider a few nights in Flic en Flac instead.
Parking in Grand Baie and at resorts
The coast road through the village is busy in the evenings and at weekends, and street parking near the restaurants and the bay is tight. The shopping centres have their own car parks, which are the easy option for an evening out. Hotels and resorts have guest parking, and most villas have a yard or a driveway. Pereybère beach parking fills early at weekends. Don't leave bags or valuables visible in a parked car.
Which car for the north
The north is flat and the distances are short, so a small automatic, from $29.61 a day, is all you need, and it is the easiest to park in the village. Families can look at 7-seaters from $45.56 a day. Nearly every car on offer is an automatic (99%), which helps with driving on the left. Popular models right now: Suzuki Swift, Suzuki Ertiga, Suzuki Fronx, Kia Picanto, Perodua Bezza. Rules, licence and island-wide tips are on the Mauritius car hire page.
Frequently asked questions
Prices
How much does it cost to hire a car in Grand Baie?
Right now 144 cars can be delivered to Grand Baie, from $29.61 a day. Small automatics are the cheapest; 7-seaters start from $45.56 a day. The calculator on this page gives a total for your dates.
Pick-up & return
How far is Grand Baie from Mauritius airport, and how long is the drive?
About 70 km, which takes about 1 hour 15 minutes on the motorway past Port Louis, longer at rush hour. You can collect the car at the airport or have it delivered to your hotel in Grand Baie.
Should I take a taxi from the airport to Grand Baie or pick up a rental car?
If you land in daylight and feel fresh, picking up at the airport saves the taxi fare. After a long overnight flight, a taxi or hotel transfer and a car delivered the next morning is the more relaxed choice.
Can a rental car be delivered to my hotel in Grand Baie?
Yes. Every car listed for Grand Baie is delivered to your hotel, villa or apartment and collected at the end. The same delivery covers Pereybère, Cap Malheureux, Trou aux Biches and Mont Choisy.
Which rental companies deliver to Grand Baie?
We compare international brands and local Mauritian companies that deliver to the north coast. The list on this page shows the cars available on your dates with their price, deposit and conditions.
Can I return the car at the airport when I fly home?
Usually yes: delivery to your hotel and return at the airport is a common combination. Check the offer conditions for any fee, and allow about 1 hour 15 minutes or more for the drive.
Roads & trips
How long does it take to drive from Grand Baie to Port Louis?
About 30 minutes outside rush hour. Weekday mornings and late afternoons are slow around the capital, so plan a Port Louis visit for the middle of the day.
Can I drive from Grand Baie to Chamarel and Le Morne in a day?
Yes, but it is a long day: both are in the south-west, well over an hour from the north each way. Start early, or split your stay and spend a few nights on the west coast instead.
Other questions
Do I need a car if I stay in Grand Baie?
Not for the village and the bay, which are walkable, with boat trips leaving from the beach. A car is worth it for beach-hopping along the north coast, Pamplemousses, Port Louis and day trips further south. A few days with a car are usually enough.
Is it easy to park in Grand Baie?
Street parking along the coast road is tight in the evenings and at weekends. Shopping centres have car parks, and hotels, resorts and most villas have their own parking. Arrive early at Pereybère beach on weekends.
Is a small car enough for the north of Mauritius?
Yes. The north is flat with short distances, and a small automatic is the easiest car to park in Grand Baie and at the beaches.
