Car rental in Port Louis
Port Louis is the working capital — the Caudan waterfront, the Central Market, the racecourse at Champ de Mars and the ferry and cruise berths. Traffic is dense on weekday mornings, so a compact car earns its keep in the city, then carries you out to the north or the centre. Book from a local partner and handle the keys in person. From Rs 1,380/day.

Frequently asked questions
Is driving in Port Louis difficult?
The centre is busy on weekday mornings and parking is tight; a compact car handles it best and is easy to leave in the Caudan car parks.
Can I pick the car up near the port or ferry?
Many partners deliver within their radius across the capital. Set your address at checkout and the fee, if any, is shown before you pay.
What do I need to rent?
A valid licence held at least a year, an ID or passport, and the booking card. Details are on the car page.
How is the deposit handled?
Most cars need none — nothing is held on your card. If the car is damaged, your share is capped at the amount shown on the car page.
Book direct with the island, not a call centre
Dodo Rent is a Mauritian marketplace, not an offshore broker. You book real cars from around 20 local rental businesses and hand the keys over face to face. Most cars here take no deposit at all — nothing is held on your card, and what you would cover if the car is damaged is capped and shown on every car page. Prices are transparent, you pay a small part online and the rest at the handover, and every booking runs through WhatsApp with a local partner who answers.
