A private taxi from SSR International Airport starts from €20 for Zone 1 routes such as Mahebourg and Blue Bay, and €35 for most destinations including Grand Baie, Flic en Flac, Belle Mare and Port Louis. Le Morne and Bel Ombre cost €45. Larger vehicles cost more, from €35 for a Premium with 3 passengers and 4 bags, €40 for a minivan for up to 7, and €65 for a minibus for up to 11. All prices are fixed per vehicle with no hidden fees.

Street taxis in Mauritius do not use meters and there is no regulated tariff. Fares are agreed between driver and passenger before the journey, and tourists frequently pay considerably more than locals. Pre-booking a private transfer fixes your mauritius taxi price in writing before you travel and removes the negotiation entirely.

Compared with Europe, no. A 45-minute airport transfer costs about €35 per vehicle, roughly a third of the equivalent European fare. Taxis feel expensive in Mauritius only when the price is not agreed in advance, because unmetered fares quoted to arriving tourists are commonly 50% to 100% above the local going rate.

At approximately 55 MUR to the euro, a sedan transfer from the airport to most destinations costs around 1,925 MUR, which is €35. Mahebourg and Blue Bay cost around 1,100 MUR, which is €20, and Le Morne around 2,475 MUR, which is €45. EUR is the confirmed booking currency and the rate is locked in at booking.

Usually yes, and never more. Pre-booking matches or beats the rate you would negotiate at the airport, and it adds a confirmed vehicle sized to your group, a fixed price in writing, flight tracking and a driver meeting you at arrivals. There are no cancellation fees.

No. Taxis Mauritius does not charge a late-night surcharge. Your taxi price in Mauritius is the same whether you land at 2pm or 2am. The service runs 24/7 including public holidays, and your driver tracks your flight and adjusts waiting time if you are delayed.

Yes. Uber launched in Mauritius in March 2026, operated locally with a partner. The fleet is sedans only, with no minivan or minibus available, so groups of four or more with luggage cannot book one. Prices are dynamic rather than fixed, and coverage is strongest around Port Louis, Ebene and Curepipe rather than the resort areas.

It depends on the route. To the northern resort belt Uber costs 70% to 90% more: airport to Grand Baie is €35 with Taxis Mauritius against roughly €64 on Uber, and Grand Gaube is €35 against roughly €67. On short Zone 1 hops such as Mahebourg and Blue Bay, and around Curepipe where Uber coverage is strongest, Uber comes in slightly cheaper. Uber pricing is also dynamic and rises at peak and late-night times, while a pre-booked transfer is fixed in writing before you fly. Uber Mauritius has no vehicle larger than a sedan, so for four or more passengers with luggage it is not an option at any price.

A Customized Full-day taxi hire (8 hours) in Mauritius is €100/€145/€170, and sometimes the rate depends on your route and the hours you need. A full day is 8 hours with the same driver and unlimited stops, and a half day is 4 hours. Entrance fees, boat tickets and meals are not included. For three or more travellers it usually works out cheaper than booking separate transfers. Send us your plan and we will confirm a fixed price in writing before you book.

No. Every mauritius taxi price we quote is valid 24 hours a day, on weekends and on public holidays. Night arrivals are one of the most common reasons visitors get overcharged by street taxis, which is precisely why our rate is fixed.

Per vehicle, always. Three passengers travelling to Grand Baie in one sedan pay €35 in total, not €35 each. If you are quoted a per-person taxi price in Mauritius, you are being overcharged.

€35 for a sedan carrying up to 3 passengers with 3 bags, €45 for a Premium with 3 passengers and 4 bags, €55 for a minivan for up to 7, and €80 for a minibus for up to 11. Grand Baie is Zone 2 and the journey takes about 55 minutes. Return is double, with no return premium.

Yes. You can pay in advance by card, or in cash on the day in either euros or Mauritian rupees. The confirmed price is identical whichever you choose, and there is no card surcharge.
