Booked a compact car for a week on Praslin. The no-deposit option was the main reason I chose this platform. Pickup at PRI airport was smooth — the supplier was already waiting when I landed. Car was clean, ran well, and the return took five minutes.
We rented on both islands — a small car on Praslin and an SUV on Mahe. The booking process was straightforward, and the voucher had all the details we needed. Both suppliers were professional and on time. Having our own car made such a difference for reaching quieter beaches.
Good experience overall. The car we got on Praslin was older than expected but mechanically sound. Roads are steep and winding — glad we had automatic transmission. The ferry terminal pickup on Praslin was convenient. Would have liked a newer vehicle, but everything worked fine.
First time driving on the left and it was fine after an hour. Praslin is small enough that you feel comfortable quickly. The car was delivered to our guesthouse in Grand Anse. Loved being able to reach Anse Lazio and Vallee de Mai on our own schedule.
Rented a small car at Mahe airport for four days. The advance payment was simple, and the balance we paid to the supplier at pickup. Everything matched what was shown during booking. The car got us to Beau Vallon, Takamaka, and everywhere in between without any trouble.
The booking platform is easy to use — I appreciated being able to filter for cash payment at pickup. The car itself was decent, nothing fancy but reliable for getting around Praslin. Returning at the airport was quick. Only minor issue: the AC took a while to cool on hot days.
We were nervous about driving on the left but the supplier gave us a quick briefing and marked the tricky junctions on a paper map. Roads on Praslin are narrow but traffic is light. The vehicle inspection at pickup was thorough and everything was documented in the contract. No issues at return.
Perfect for exploring Mahe independently. We drove from the airport to Anse Intendance, then up to Victoria market the next morning. Free cancellation gave us flexibility while our travel plans were still forming. The whole process from search to return felt transparent and well-organized.

Common advice that comes up again and again in reviews. These practical suggestions are based on real experiences from visitors who drove on Praslin and Mahe.
Inspect the vehicle with the supplier and confirm all existing marks are documented in the rental contract. Take photos from every angle before driving.
If you are not used to left-hand traffic, give yourself time to adjust. Praslin's quieter roads are a good place to build confidence before tackling Mahe.
Steep hills and tight bends are common on both islands. Many travelers recommend automatic transmission for a more relaxed driving experience.
Vehicle availability can narrow during busy travel months. Booking early gives you a better selection and the flexibility to secure the features you want.
Your voucher contains the supplier's contact details, pickup instructions, and booking reference. Save it on your phone and have a printed copy as backup.
Note the fuel level at pickup and match it when you return. Checking the fuel policy on your listing avoids any disagreements at the end of the rental.
