Booking service connecting you with rental operators in the island's central plateau town. Pick up in Curepipe, drive to the crater, tea plantations, or down to the coast.
Curepipe sits at 550 metres on the central plateau, cooler and damper than the coast. The town serves as a practical hub: supermarkets along Royal Road, Trou aux Cerfs crater five minutes north, Bois Cheri tea estate twenty minutes south. From here you can head east to Mahebourg in forty minutes, west to Tamarin in thirty-five, or north to Grand Baie in forty-five.
Local rental operators deliver vehicles to addresses in Curepipe or arrange collection at their depot. Most travellers choose Curepipe as a mid-island collection point before driving to coastal hotels or as a stop after arriving at SSR airport. The M2 motorway runs eight kilometres east of town, connecting you to MRU in twenty-five minutes or Port Louis in thirty.
Rodavia connects you with operators offering no-deposit rentals - you pay a booking advance online, then sign the rental agreement directly with the company. No credit card imprint, no hold on your account.
