Licensed taxi or private transfer with fixed price to Port Louis, Grand Baie, Flic-en-Flac, Belle Mare, Le Morne and all hotels in Mauritius. Book online from €34.
Mauritius Airport has a licensed taxi rank in front of the arrivals area exit, clearly signposted. Taxis generally have no meter — fares are negotiated in advance or set by an official posted price list. Alternatively, private transfers booked online offer a guaranteed fixed rate and a driver who waits for you with a sign bearing your name.
Licensed taxis apply flat rates displayed at the rank. The trip to Mahébourg costs about 400 Mauritian rupees (€8-9), to Port Louis 2,200 MUR (approx. €45), to Grand Baie 3,000 MUR (approx. €60). Payments are made in rupees, euros or dollars — the rate is negotiated but generally favors the driver.
The main advantage of a private transfer booked online is price predictability in euros, with no exchange-rate surprises. The driver tracks your flight in real time and adapts to any delays at no extra charge. The service runs 24/7, essential for European flights that often land early in the morning (between 06:00 and 09:00).
