Mauritius car rental strategy

Friends who go to Bianxiao Mauritius still suggest that you travel by car, because there are many scenic spots that you can go by car. Let's go to Mauritius and road trip to see what is more suitable.

What car is in Mauritius? The most popular model on the road is Nissan Maji.

Nissan Maji, a Japanese original compact car, is full of power and flexible to operate, which is most suitable for couples and a family of three. In addition, there are Toyota corolla, Nissan JUKE, Mini and business 7-seat models. If your English is not particularly fluent, you'd better book the corresponding models online in advance according to your travel crowd structure. First, there is no communication problem. Second, it is cheaper than renting a car temporarily locally. Third, you can pick up your car at the airport or hotel with a China driver's license, which is very convenient (you need to pay a certain deposit when picking up your car.

The deposit is usually between 3000 and 5000 yuan, which will be returned when the car is returned. The oil price of wool ball gasoline is around 39 rupees/liter. Generally, the oil consumption around Machi Island for three days is about RMB in 200 yuan.

Tips:

General hotels and scenic spots have parking lots for free. However, the roads in Port Louis cannot be parked at will. You need to park your car in the pay parking lot or buy a parking card. The parking fee for a metered area is about RMB 65,438+00.

Basic driving rules The driver's seat of Mauritian vehicles is on the right side, and vehicles drive along the left side of the road, mainly with two-way four lanes. Expressway aided by China runs through the north and south of Maoqiu. It takes about 40 minutes to drive from the airport to the capital port Louis. The speed limit is below 100 km per hour. Some sections have other speed limit signs. Please pay attention to the road signs. Don't speed or get drunk.

South and North expressway of Mauritius are connected with the interchange of intercity highways around the island. Before entering the island, let the vehicles on the island pass. When you enter the island, you should confirm your departure in advance, and don't change lanes at will.

It should be reminded that there are many sugarcane fields in Mauritius, and the ground is pitted, which is easy to scratch the chassis. It is not allowed to use rented low-chassis vehicles to enter.

There are many roads in the west and south of Mauritius that can drive directly to the seaside. Please choose a parking place in advance to prevent the car from getting stuck in the sand.

There are many sugarcane fields in Mauritius, and the ground is pitted, which are generally played in four-wheel drive cross-country projects. It is not recommended to rent a car with a low chassis.

Road condition reminder of famous scenic spots

For example, near Tiansheng Bridge, the road is bumpy, so if you go, you should pay attention to slowing down; There used to be a red bull track near Qise Lake, with many corners, so it is especially necessary to pay attention to oncoming cars. On the intercity expressway, attention should be paid to the passing vehicles to pedestrians, and turning vehicles to straight vehicles. When turning left and right, be sure to pay attention to the cars coming from both sides and confirm the correct driving direction.

Please remember the comity gesture.

Once the other party's courtesy or driving on the road affects other vehicles, please extend your palm to the other party to express your friendship and gratitude.

Google navigation

Local, Google

Maps are the most convenient navigation tools. Driving navigation consumes a lot of traffic. Friends with poor English suggest buying a calling card in China in advance, and you can change a local calling card on the plane. Pick up the car at the airport and drive to the hotel, and you can start using navigation immediately, which is particularly convenient. Buying a phone card in advance is cheaper than buying it locally temporarily, and there is no language communication problem. (Google Navigation is not available in China)

What do you fear most when driving abroad? Driving on the road, I suddenly found that the navigation could not be used, because the calling card was not recharged and there was no traffic! In a strange place, there is no navigation, and you have to find a place to buy a phone recharge card by yourself. Think about it _rz. If you don't want such an embarrassing scene when driving in Mauritius, I suggest you buy a prepaid card in advance, recharge the local calling card in advance, or prepare more copies to put in the car for safety.

Where to stay The hotels in Mauritius are mainly concentrated in the three areas in the picture: East, West and North.

Luxury hotels on the east coast are world-famous, but the traffic is inconvenient.

For example, luxury hotels such as Four Seasons and Mansions have relatively good facilities and beautiful beaches, but to be honest, hotels on the east coast are only suitable for friends who like to soak in hotels, because traveling on the east coast is really inconvenient, far from scenic spots and business districts, and there are few surrounding facilities. If you want to do some shopping, you have to drive 1 for 2 hours at a time, and it takes a long day trip.

Friends who go to Mauritius to rent a car and drive by car recommend western and northern accommodation areas.

Visitors to the western beach choose Abinon and Maradiva hotels, close to dolphin bay, bird park and other attractions. It's basically half an hour's drive, and the sunset at the seaside in the evening is beautiful, which is very suitable for lazy driving.

Amy and Luyin Spring Hotel are recommended for the northern beach. It's close to the business district, SUPERU, and famous Chinese restaurants, casinos and bars are all concentrated here, which is suitable for driving out to eat and have fun.
