Seychelles airport car hire

What does a hire cost to run?

The price of Seychelles airport car hire depends on the car, travel dates and collection arrangement. The offer shows the total for the rental period. The minimum charge is 24 hours; a few hours cost a full day, and a further part-day is charged as another full day.

Fuel and parking are paid by the renter, along with any fines. The car returns with the same fuel level as at collection. Less fuel is charged at the company’s rates, while extra fuel receives no refund. A washing charge applies if the car is returned so dirty that inspection is hindered.

For cheap car hire in Seychelles, the useful comparison is the complete rental price alongside these running costs and the car’s conditions. The advance is part of that price; the security deposit is separate.

Where can the hire begin?

The widest choice is collected at Seychelles International Airport on Mahé. Airport collection suits a rental starting after an international flight. The company responsible for the car provides the meeting arrangements for the reservation.

Mahé and Victoria searches include delivery offers from some companies. Cat Cocos ferry pickup is also available on Mahé, for a rental beginning after a ferry arrival. The available collection options and any delivery charge are shown with the selected offer.

Praslin has a small separate pool of cars, while La Digue has none through this search. Cars must remain on their home island, so a stay across Mahé and Praslin involves separate vehicle bookings.

How much is paid in advance?

The online advance is 15 to 20 percent of the total hire cost. The remaining rental amount is paid to the agent at collection. The payment guide explains the balance, accepted cards and cancellation rules.

A security deposit is a separate condition of the selected car. Some offers require a physical embossed credit card in the main driver’s name. Debit-card acceptance is specified during booking and in the voucher, with a physical, personalised, embossed card in that driver’s name required.

Minimum driver age and experience also belong to the individual offer. The driver checklist covers those requirements and the original national licence needed at collection.

What is driving on Mahé like?

Traffic drives on the left. Mahé’s mountain roads include narrow winding sections, hairpin bends, some unprotected drops and open roadside drains. Heavy downpours can quickly reduce visibility and affect road conditions. Our Mahé driving advice covers the island’s hire options and road conditions.

Hire cars are permitted on paved public roads and must remain on their home island. Standard insurance excludes damage to wheels, the undercarriage, windscreen and interior. The insurance exclusions guide also explains the reporting duties after an insured event.
