  • Line up your ride with Carental Mauritius, Sixt or Ace Ride Mauritius. They're some of the most well-known providers in the city.

  • The coverage Carental Mauritius or another supplier offers for your Poste Lafayette car hire can vary, so remember to check the fine print. While some include a collision damage waiver (CDW), others will charge a fee for it.
