Top tips for hiring a car in Mahé

  • As with any central business district, Mahé experiences traffic snarl-ups for some specific hours. Traffic starts building up around 7:30 am to 8:30 am and the in the late afternoons between 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm. Still, you will likely experience some traffic on Saturday mornings, between 12:00 and 1:00 pm, but it is not as slow as on weekdays. It might thus be helpful if you plan to start your tour outside these hours.
  • There are no streetlights in some parts of Mahé, particularly rural areas. Therefore, it can be dangerous to drive at night for both the driver and pedestrians, a reason why local authorities strictly implement their headline regulations. You are thus required to turn on your headlights when driving between 6:30 pm and 5:45 am. You can turn on either the white or yellow light.
  • You will be driving on the left side of the road, and vehicles from the right get priority. The roads are relatively easy to drive on, although most are narrow and curvy. Driving on steep mountainous roads requires courage, confidence, and fantastic clutch skills. If it is your first time here, keep it slow as you take time to learn the roads.
  • Mahé features one ring road around the island and a few other roads crossing the mountains. Although this ring road is very narrow and full of curves, you do not have to worry as it is relatively easy to drive on. The road becomes well-defined towards the south and southeast, making it easy to navigate. Nevertheless, as you drive, remember that some bridges in rural areas are too narrow to allow the passage of two cars.

  • What is driving like in Mahé?

    Mahé, like most countries around the world, it is a standard practice to stop at Zebra Crossings to give pedestrians the right of way and prioritize emergency vehicles with flashing lights. You must maintain a speed limit of 40 kph (25 mph) in bustling and built-up areas. However, as you hit open roads, you can go up to 65 kph (40 mph). The roads are marked by signposts to aid you in maintaining the appropriate speed. Drink-driving is not permitted, and violators risk punitive punishment and fines from law enforcement officers. Motorists are required to maintain a Blood Alcohol Content of 0.08% or less.

  • How old do you have to be to rent a car in Mahé?

    You must be 21 or older when looking for Mahé car rentals. However, it is best to check with your service provider as some companies apply an underage driver fee for drivers under 25. Most companies restrict luxury and convertible cars to renters aged 25 or older. Nevertheless, renting a car in Seychelles is effortless, provided you have all the required documents, which you must present individually. First, you must have a valid driver's license, a passport, and an International Driver’s Permit (IDP). Secondly, you must have held your passport for at least two years. Remember that a credit card is required when paying the deposit. This is because most car rental companies require that they take hold of a certain amount from a renters card while their vehicle is on rent.
