Real Customer Testimonials
“We traveled with two young kids, and Barefoot really took care of us. Our driver was early at the airport with child seats already installed and even brought little snacks for the kids. The ride to our villa was smooth and easy. Such a relief after a long flight – we’ll definitely book again!”
— Sarah & John, UK
“For our honeymoon, we treated ourselves to the luxury car option with Barefoot. It was so worth it – we were greeted with cold water bottles and even flowers in the car! Our driver shared romantic local spots to visit on the way. It felt very special and personal. Highly recommend to other couples looking for a VIP touch.”
— Priya & Arjun, India
“I arrived close to midnight and was worried I’d be stranded. But my Barefoot driver was right there waiting as promised. He was very friendly and even walked me to my hotel door to make sure I got in safely. Having a set price in advance also helped me budget my trip. Great service for a solo traveler!”
— Lucas M., Germany
“I travel to Mauritius often for work and always use Barefoot Transfers. Booking is quick and easy, and the drivers are without fail on time. Last month my flight was delayed, but my driver was still there waiting when I landed. It’s so much easier than trying to grab a taxi at the airport, especially after a long flight.”
— Maria H., USA
“Our family had the best start to our holiday thanks to Barefoot. The driver was exactly where he said he’d be, holding our name sign with a smile. He even helped fold our baby stroller and load all our bags. The car was spotless, and the ride to Belle Mare was smooth. Highly recommended!”
— Amanda G., Australia
“We were a family of 6, including two little kids. Barefoot Transfers impressed us with their professionalism. Our driver was right on time and had two child seats already set up for us. The minivan was spacious and nicely air-conditioned – plenty of room for all our luggage. Booking via WhatsApp was super easy, and it was far better than trying to arrange two taxis at the airport.”
— Niels P., Denmark
“I was traveling for business, and Barefoot was excellent. They responded to my inquiry immediately and the car was clean and comfortable. My flight landed very late, yet my driver was still patiently waiting and even helped with my bags. I will absolutely book again for my next Mauritius trip.”
— Sophie L., France
“As a business traveler, I appreciated the professionalism. My driver was early, the vehicle was impeccable, and I arrived for my meeting right on schedule. Highly recommend Barefoot for anyone visiting Mauritius for work.”
— Julien M., France
“Our flight arrived after midnight, but our Barefoot driver waited patiently (with no extra charge for the delay). He helped us with all our luggage. Even at that late hour, he was cheerful, and we felt very safe on the drive to Port Louis.”
— Rachel T., UK
“Great value and professional service. We used Barefoot for both our airport pickup and drop-off, and both rides were flawless. Our return driver even arrived a few minutes early at our resort, which gave us peace of mind heading home. We’ll definitely use them again next time.”
— Harold S., South Africa
“From the warm welcome at the airport to the friendly conversation, Barefoot made our couples’ getaway even better. Our driver gave us great tips on places to visit and local restaurants during the ride to our hotel. We enjoyed the transfer so much that we actually booked a full-day island tour with Barefoot later in the week. It was like having a local friend drive us around!”
— Carla & Miguel, Spain
“We traveled with a toddler, and Barefoot made it so easy. They provided a proper baby seat at no extra cost and made sure all our luggage (and the stroller) fit in the car. The driver even had cold water ready for us – a blessing after a long flight. Our little one fell asleep in the car seat, and we arrived at our hotel relaxed and stress-free.”
— Vittoria B., Italy
“Our group of 7 friends booked a transfer together, and it was perfect. Barefoot sent a large van so we could all ride together comfortably with all our suitcases. The driver was fun and patient, even as we made a quick duty-free stop. It almost felt like a mini tour for us. And splitting the cost made it cheaper per person than any shuttle – great value for a private ride!”
— Jessica C., Canada
“I traveled with my elderly mother who uses a wheelchair. Barefoot Transfers went above and beyond for us. The driver was extremely kind and had a suitable vehicle with plenty of space. He helped us get my mum comfortably seated and stored her wheelchair carefully. The whole experience was smooth and gave us such peace of mind.”
— Brian H., UK
“Our resort was going to charge nearly double for a transfer. I’m so glad we found Barefoot Transfers instead. The price was much better and the service was fantastic – clean car, friendly driver, and no hidden fees. Honestly, we got a better experience for less money than the hotel’s taxi.”
— Wendy S., UK
“I booked with Barefoot only a few hours before my flight due to a last-minute schedule change. I was amazed that they arranged everything so quickly. Even with such short notice, my driver was there on time and the ride went perfectly. Really reliable and responsive service at any hour.”
— Ahmed A., UAE
“Our return flight was at 4 AM, yet our driver arrived at the hotel early and was waiting for us. We were so relieved! Driving through the dark was no problem – he was alert and safe, and the van was clean and comfortable even at that hour. We couldn’t have asked for an easier early-morning ride to the airport.”
— Thomas K., Germany
“I was nervous traveling alone with my 2-year-old, but Barefoot was a lifesaver. The driver had an infant car seat ready and helped me get it installed properly. He was patient with us, and I felt very safe the whole ride. It made what could have been a stressful trip completely easy.”
— Liz M., USA
“Our airport ride felt like a mini tour! On the way to our hotel, the driver pointed out sights and even gave us a bit of local history and restaurant recommendations. We learned so much before our vacation even really started. More than just a simple transfer – it was a very warm welcome to Mauritius.”
— Pierre L., France
“We had a last-minute change in our departure time from Mauritius. The team at Barefoot was so flexible – they adjusted our pickup without any fuss. Sure enough, the driver was there at the new time and got us to the airport with time to spare. Excellent communication via WhatsApp throughout. Truly hassle-free service.”
— Lina O., Sweden
“I highly recommend Barefoot Transfers. Courteous driver, new and clean car, and absolutely no hassle. It was the perfect welcome to Mauritius after a long journey.”
— Alicja Z., Poland
“Great experience from start to finish. Punctual pickup, super friendly service, and a comfortable ride. It was also good value compared to other options we looked at. Will definitely use Barefoot Transfers again next time!”

Why Choose Barefoot Transfers vs. Hotel Taxis or Shuttles?
Travelers often ask how Barefoot Transfers Mauritius compares to the taxi offered by a hotel or a shared shuttle service. Here are a few reasons our private transfers stand out:
Better Value for Money: Our rates are typically lower than what many hotels charge for their taxis or shuttles. By booking directly with us (a local company), you avoid any middleman markups. You get a premium private service at a more affordable price – no expensive hotel commissions or surprise fees.
100% Private & Direct: With Barefoot, you and your group have the vehicle all to yourselves. No sharing with strangers and no multiple stops on the way. Unlike a shared shuttle that might stop at several hotels, our driver takes you straight to your destination. It’s faster and more comfortable – you can start enjoying your resort sooner, without detours.
Family-Friendly & Personalized: We tailor each transfer to you. Need a child seat or extra luggage space? It’s provided free of charge. Want to stop at a supermarket on the way? Just ask. Hotel taxis or generic shuttles often can’t guarantee these personal touches. Barefoot drivers are happy to accommodate requests when possible, making your ride truly stress-free and convenient for your family.
Professional, English/French-Speaking Drivers: All our drivers are licensed, courteous locals who speak fluent English (and usually French). They greet you with a smile and a sign at the airport, help with your bags, and make you feel welcome. In a regular taxi queue, you might not know what you’ll get – but with us, you’ll have a vetted driver who is friendly, safe, and knowledgeable. (Many of our guests love that drivers share local tips or conversation if you’re interested!)
Reliability & Peace of Mind: When you pre-book with Barefoot, you’re guaranteed a pickup even if your flight is delayed or arrives early. We monitor your flight and adjust automatically, so you’re never left waiting. This level of reliability beats hoping for a hotel taxi to be on time or trying to find a cab last minute. We operate 24/7, so even for late-night or pre-dawn flights, we’ve got you covered. No worrying about timing – we’re always on time and we get you to the airport for departure with time to spare.
In short, Barefoot Transfers offers the comfort, personal service, and trustworthiness that generic transport options often lack. Our customers often tell us we turned what could have been a simple taxi ride into a smooth, pleasant experience at a better price. It’s like having a private driver dedicated to your needs, rather than just a ride.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is Barefoot Transfers Mauritius reliable?
A: Absolutely – you can trust us to be there on time, every time. Barefoot Transfers is a fully licensed local company with years of experience and thousands of happy customers. We pride ourselves on punctuality and professionalism. Our drivers track your flight and arrive early, so you’re never left waiting. (Our 5-star customer reviews speak to how reliable we are!)
Q: Can I book last minute or on short notice?
A: Yes, in most cases. We recommend booking as soon as you know your travel details (even 24–48 hours in advance) to secure your vehicle, especially in high season. That said, we often accommodate last-minute bookings. Our team is available 24/7 via phone/WhatsApp, so even if you need an airport transfer on short notice, reach out – we’ll do our very best to arrange it.
Q: Are baby or child seats included in the transfer?
A: Definitely. We provide infant car seats and booster seats free of charge upon request. Just let us know the age/weight of your little one when booking, and your driver will arrive with the appropriate car seat already installed. Safety is our priority, and we love helping families travel comfortably. (Many parents mention what a relief this service is!)
Q: Do your drivers speak English or French?
A: Yes – all our drivers speak fluent English, and most speak French as well. Communication will not be an issue. In fact, our drivers are friendly locals who can converse in either language. Feel free to ask questions about Mauritius or chat during the ride. We’re happy to share tips about the island (only if you’re in the mood to chat, of course – if you prefer a quiet ride, that’s okay too!).
Q: How do I pay for my transfer? Do I need to pay in advance?
A: Payment is easy and no prepayment is required. You simply pay your driver in cash at the end of the ride. We accept Mauritian Rupees, and most drivers can also take equivalent USD or EUR if that’s easier for you. You only pay after you’ve arrived safely, which our guests appreciate. (If you absolutely need a card payment, let us know in advance – we can often accommodate card payments or provide a secure link.)
Q: What if my flight is delayed or arrives early?
A: No worries at all. We include flight monitoring with every booking. On the day of your flight, we keep an eye on its status. If you’re delayed, we automatically adjust your pickup time – your driver will be there whenever you actually land, at no extra charge. If your flight lands ahead of schedule, our driver will still be there at the original time (usually early anyway) and will wait for you. Either way, you won’t be stranded or left to figure things out. This is a big advantage over regular taxis or shuttles.
Q: Are the transfers private or will we share the ride?
A: All our transfers are completely private. You will not be sharing the vehicle with anyone outside your own party. It’s your own car or van, reserved just for you. We don’t do shared shuttles, so you’ll go directly to your hotel with no extra stops. This makes the trip quicker, more comfortable, and more secure for you and your belongings.
