KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Grand Baie
- Opting for car hire in Grand Baie is an ideal way to explore Mauritius on your own time and make the most of everything this beautiful island has to offer. While Mauritius does have some bus services, the timetable is often erratic in rural areas and many services do not usually run past the late afternoon, making it hard to get to evening events or take all-day trips to different parts of the island. Mauritius also has a network of well-maintained roads that pass close to popular attractions, like Anse La Raie Beach and the Bassin Vert hiking area, making it a perfect location to hire a car.
- When you fly to Mauritius, you will land at Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport (MRU), located on the island’s south side. The airport isn't connected with Grand Baie by public transport, so it is a good idea to hire a car at MRU as soon as you land. You will find the car hire desks at MRU located on Level 0 inside the main terminal. From MRU, it is just over an hour's drive to Grand Baie.
- Travellers who choose car hire in Grand Baie should familiarise themselves with some local driving conventions and road rules before they go. The roads in and around Grand Baie are generally in good condition, and the highways around Mauritius are well-maintained, meaning that traffic moves quite quickly. Local drivers in Mauritius are not aggressive, but you should try to keep up with traffic and give plenty of space to local buses, which may travel very slowly due to frequent stops. You should also be aware of motorbikes moving in and out of traffic on the highways, and watch out for animals on the road in rural areas and in Grand Baie, where stray dogs are common.
- Drivers in Mauritius will not experience high volumes of traffic in Grand Baie, most of the time. However, you may find that roads like the M2 and the A4 to Port Louis get crowded during the local rush hour, which is usually between 07:30-09:00 and 15:00-18:00. If you are visiting Mauritius during the peak tourist season (October-April), you can also expect the coastal roads and routes to popular attractions to be busy.
- Book your rental car in Grand Baie at least 6 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Mini rental cars in Grand Baie are around 30% cheaper than other car types, on average
