As a former British colony, Mauritius also ranks among countries where driving is on the left. The maximum permitted speed is 50km/h in built-up areas and 80km/h outside built-up areas. Traffic is very heavy during 8-10am and 5-6pm because most residents are returning
from work back to their homes. Be sure to pay attention to roundabouts, which you will encounter at every step.
You can move around the island in several ways. We recommend clients to use taxis, whose drivers are also good guides, but definitely agree on the price in advance, as most vehicles don't have taximeters. If you are considering renting a car, you must have an international driving license and be over 23 years old.
Mauritius also has safe and financially quite affordable public transport, which connects all important places and cities on the island. The road infrastructure is developed. Mauritius has no railway transport.
