Scooter and motorbike rental in Mauritius

5 listings in the survey, from the nearest to the farthest from the airport. Independent and unofficial directory.

What to know before you call

For short trips along the coast a scooter is a cheap and fun alternative to a car, and a few hirers on the island rent scooters and motorbikes by the day or the week. Check before you ride that your licence covers the category of the machine, that a helmet is supplied and that the insurance covers theft and damage, not only third-party liability.

Driving is on the left, mountain roads are slippery when it rains, and the traffic around Port Louis and Grand Baie is dense at peak hours. Ask the hirer about the deposit and what you pay if the machine is damaged. The list below shows the scooter and motorbike hirers found in the open sources, with their public contact details.

The survey holds 5 entries on this page, spread over 3 towns, with the most in Trou d'Eau Douce, Plaine Magnien, Centre de Flacq. 5 of them show a phone number and 5 a website, so the others are best checked on a map or by asking around before you drive there.

Frequently asked questions

Is a car licence enough to rent a scooter?

Not always. The licence must cover the category of the machine. Ask the hirer which licence it requires.

Are helmets supplied?

Most hirers supply one. Confirm it when you book and check that it fits and is in good condition.
