IDRIVE, Morisoleil and Autorent Mauritius are some of the best-known providers in the city. They're a smart place to start comparing offers.
Check if a collision damage waiver (CDW) is part of your Mahébourg car hire policy, whether you go with IDRIVE or another supplier. Some companies might not include it in the base price and instead sell it separately.
Consider booking a one-way rental. You might be able to score a bargain if the provider needs to move its fleet around. Find the best available rates by clicking 'Return car to a different location.'
Search for a vehicle with a 'Fair fuel policy.' You'll pick up and drop off your ride with a full tank, so you pay only for what you use. No hidden refueling charges at drop-off either.
Want to explore more without worrying about the number of miles you clock up? Search for rentals with 'Unlimited mileage' under the 'Policies' filter and drive as far as you like without the extra fees.
