About the south

The south is the airport area: Plaine Magnien, Mahébourg, Blue Bay and Pointe d’Esny. This is where rental desks are the most numerous, because almost every traveller lands here. Towards Souillac and Bel Ombre the road becomes more winding and more scenic, and a car with good ground clearance reassures you on side roads. Mahébourg and Rose Belle also hold a number of dealers serving the local market.

The survey counts 45 listings here, on average about 8 km from the airport in a straight line, which is an estimated 11 km and 15 minutes by road. Of these, 31 are car rental desks and 13 are car dealers.
