What to include when you make contact
The more detail you provide upfront, the faster a confirmed quote and booking can be turned around. For a minibus or minivan transfer, include:
Full name — for the name board your driver will hold in arrivals
Flight number — used for real-time tracking on the day
Arrival date and time — scheduled landing time at SSR
Number of passengers — so the correct vehicle size is assigned
Destination — hotel name, villa address, resort, or area
Luggage details — number of suitcases, strollers, golf bags, surfboards, or any oversized items
Child seat requirements — ages and weights of any children travelling
Providing all of this in your first message means your booking can usually be confirmed in a single exchange.
What happens after you make contact
Once you send your details via WhatsApp or the contact form, the process is straightforward:
You receive a vehicle recommendation and confirmed price
You confirm the booking — no deposit required
You receive a booking confirmation with your driver's name and direct contact number
On arrival at SSR, your driver is waiting inside the arrivals hall with your name on a board
You pay the driver directly at your destination at the end of the journey
Save your booking confirmation and your driver's contact number to your phone before you travel. It is the most important thing to have accessible when you land.
When to make contact
For standard bookings
Contact Barefoot Transfers as early as possible — ideally at the same time you confirm your flights or accommodation. This is especially important for:
Large minibus bookings requiring specific vehicle sizes
Family bookings requiring child seats
Peak season travel — December, January, Easter, and European school holidays
Groups with significant luggage or specialist equipment
For last-minute bookings
Same-day and next-day enquiries are handled via WhatsApp. Availability cannot be guaranteed at short notice, particularly for larger vehicles, but the team will always confirm what is possible as quickly as they can.
For return transfer bookings
Book your return transfer — from your hotel or villa back to SSR — at the same time as your arrival transfer. Provide your departure flight number and time and both legs are confirmed before you leave home.

Barefoot Transfers handles minivan and minibus airport transfers island-wide. There is no destination in Mauritius that is out of range. Commonly requested routes include:
SSR Airport to Grand Baie and the north coast
SSR Airport to Flic en Flac and the west coast
SSR Airport to Trou aux Biches and Pereybere
SSR Airport to Belle Mare and the east coast

SSR Airport to Blue Bay and the south
For any destination not listed, message the team with the hotel or address and a quote will be provided.
Why contact a specialist rather than booking through a platform
Generic booking platforms list multiple operators and allow price comparison, but they add a layer between you and the driver that can create problems — particularly for group and family bookings where vehicle size, child seats, and luggage capacity need to be confirmed precisely.
Booking directly with Barefoot Transfers means:
Your specific requirements are noted on the reservation, not just ticked on a form
You have a direct line to the team and your driver before and on the day
There are no platform fees added to your transfer price
Any changes or updates to your booking are handled immediately via WhatsApp
For straightforward bookings a platform works fine. For anything involving a group, children, or unusual luggage, direct contact with a specialist is always the better approach.
