Tips For Getting The Most Out Of Your Car Rental In Mauritius

With a GPS in hand, reservations at two Mauritius hotels (Bon Azur and the Hilton Mauritius) and a long list of attractions to visit, we made it our goal to see the side of Mauritius you don't get when sitting idly by at a fancy resort.

But what is it like to drive in this island nation located in the middle of the Indian ocean?  As it turns out, it is not that bad at all!

Mauritius Road Conditions

Forget anything preconceived notions you have about island roads. Mauritius has an incredible infrastructure built up for drivers.

There are three main types of roads you'll see on the island while searching for most attractions.

The Highways (M1, M2, etc)

Although most are not highways in the traditional sense from Western views, these roads often have multiple lanes, a speed limit of over 100 km/hr, and are well lit with plenty of easy-to-follow signs.  The island has undergone many expansions of these roads in recent years and it is not uncommon for a new highway to be installed in less than one year!

Primary Roads

Most all roads on the island fall into this category, consisting of single lane roads with a speed limit of 60-80 km/hr.  The roads have fine pavement, painted lane dividers (most of the time), but lack sidewalks so you may be passing some locals as you go.  Most mountain roads also fall into this category but may be a bit narrower and require slower passing.

Secondary Roads

If you get lost, or your GPS takes you on some extreme back roads, you may end up on some secondary roads that may have potholes and are a bit bumpy. These are nothing too terrible to drive over if going slow, and you could go an entire trip without seeing them as they are quite infrequent.

Overall, driving in Mauritius is quite an easy thing to do and we have found that many other websites tend to dwell on the road conditions more than needs to be said.

All you need to be aware of is that the roads are quite nice, easy to drive on, and the cover most all of the island you'll want to see.  Can you really ask for more?
