Is There Uber in Mauritius? Availability, Prices and Booking
Yes. Taxi by ala-lila, powered by Uber, launched in Mauritius on 25 March 2026. The service is operated locally by Logidis and connects passengers with licensed Mauritian taxis using Uber’s technology.
To check a journey, enter your pickup location and destination in the Uber app. Review the available ride options, fare and pickup details before confirming.
How does Uber work in Mauritius?
The service brings together Uber’s technology and the local taxi network operated through ala-lila.
Logidis describes the platform as a service for licensed Mauritian taxi drivers. IBL, the group behind Logidis, confirms the launch date and explains the partnership in its official announcement about Taxi by ala-lila, powered by Uber.
The official ala-lila booking page also directs passengers to Uber’s booking platform.
For travellers, the practical step is to check the options available for the journey they actually want to make. Prices, vehicle choices and pickup arrangements should be reviewed before booking.
How to request a ride
To check or request a journey:
Open the Uber app or follow the official ala-lila booking link.
Enter your exact pickup point and destination.
Review the available ride options and displayed fare.
Check the passenger capacity, payment method and booking conditions.
Confirm the request and follow the pickup instructions.
Match the driver and vehicle details with your booking before boarding.
For a hotel pickup, use the correct entrance or agreed meeting point. For a villa or apartment, check that the location pin identifies the property accurately.
Keep access to your phone and an internet connection so you can receive updates and communicate about the pickup.
How much does Uber cost in Mauritius?
There is no single fare covering every journey.
According to Logidis’s published service information, pricing considers distance, journey duration, peak periods and locations such as airports, hotels and the port.
Check the price displayed for your route before confirming. A fare someone paid previously may not apply to your pickup, destination or travel time.
When comparing an app booking with another transport quotation, check the same details:
The complete pickup and destination addresses.
The vehicle and passenger capacity.
Luggage requirements.
Additional stops or waiting.
Any booking, cancellation or other applicable charges.
Compare the full arrangements as well as the headline price.
Can you use Uber at Mauritius Airport?
Logidis includes airport journeys in its published service information. For your arrival or departure, check the available options for SSR International Airport in the app.
Before requesting an airport ride, review:
The pickup point shown for your booking.
The vehicle’s passenger and luggage capacity.
The displayed fare and payment method.
Any waiting or cancellation conditions.
Whether your specific requirements can be accommodated.
An app pickup and a name-board meet-and-greet may involve different meeting arrangements. Follow the instructions attached to the service you book.
If you prefer to arrange your vehicle, luggage space and arrival meeting details before travelling, see our private Mauritius airport transfers.
What about children, pushchairs and larger groups?
Check your requirements before confirming any vehicle.
A passenger-seat count alone does not establish whether there is room for several large suitcases, a pushchair or golf bags. Child seats also need to be explicitly arranged.
For families, confirm:
The appropriate seat for each child.
Whether a rear-facing seat is required.
Space for your luggage and pushchair.
The total number of passengers, including babies.
Review the vehicle options available for your journey rather than assuming they match those offered in another country.
For a pre-arranged journey with child-seat requirements, explore our Mauritius family taxi service with car seats.
Is Uber suitable for a sightseeing day?
An app-based ride can be an option for travelling between individual locations when a suitable service is available.
For a sightseeing day with several visits, consider the complete schedule. You may need transport to the first attraction, waiting during visits, further journeys and a return to your accommodation.
Before choosing, establish whether you are booking separate rides or a service that includes the driver’s time across the day.
A private day-hire quotation can specify the route, booked hours, waiting and total transport price together. You can compare those arrangements with the options available through the app.
If you want a driver for several stops or multiple days, see our Mauritius private driver and chauffeur service.
Uber or a pre-booked private transfer?
Choose according to the journey and the details you need confirmed.
An app booking may suit you when a suitable ride is available and you are comfortable with the displayed vehicle, fare and pickup arrangements.
A pre-booked transfer may suit you when you want to discuss your requirements beforehand, particularly for airport arrivals, child seats, larger groups or bulky luggage.
Neither option should be assumed to be cheaper for every journey. Compare the actual quotation and what it includes.

Frequently asked questions
Why do some websites say there is no Uber in Mauritius?
Some articles were written before the launch on 25 March 2026. Check when the information was published or updated and compare it with the operator’s current information.
Is ala-lila the same as Uber?
Taxi by ala-lila, powered by Uber, is the local service operated through Logidis using Uber’s technology. The official ala-lila booking page directs passengers to Uber.
Can I book a ride in advance?
Check whether advance booking is offered for your particular journey. If it is available, review the confirmation, pickup arrangements and cancellation conditions before relying on it.
Can I pay cash?
Check the payment methods offered for your ride. Logidis’s launch information described debit and credit card payments through the app, but that does not establish every payment option available today.
Does Uber work everywhere in Mauritius?
Check your exact pickup and destination. Availability for one journey does not establish availability at another location or later in the day.
For an outing, consider your return transport as well as the outward journey.
Are larger vehicles available?
Review the vehicle options displayed for your journey and confirm passenger and luggage capacity. Vehicle categories available elsewhere should not be assumed to apply in Mauritius.
Prefer to arrange your transport before travelling?
