Mauritius is a left hand side driving country as in UK. It is probably because Mauritius has been under the control of British for years.      

The most usual way of transport for the Mauritian people is the bus. Bus is a quite easy way of transport in the island but not as comfortable as in Europe but very cheap. There is in Mauritius a few bus transport companies which serve the whole island. The two well known bus companies are NTC  and UBS. But the buses in the island are not modern buses and roads are not always so good to drive. There is also a problem in the country with the street signs which are not well indicated or sometimes does not even exist.

Taxis
Taxis are found in almost every corner of the towns and cities. There is only one thing with the Mauritian taxis is that they do not use a taxi meter even they have it in their taxis, so it is usual here before you enter a taxi to decide of the price before.

Car Rental
As a tourist, an International Driving Licence is required to drive in Mauritius. There is a large number of Rental Car firms on the island. Count as from 25 Euro daily for a normal comfortable small car with air-conditioner. But do not forget in Mauritius you need to drive on the left hand side. And be careful, it is not always easy to drive in Mauritius especially in Port Louis city.
