Read on to discover how our minibus hire can elevate your Mauritius experience, whatever your travel plans may be.
Why Choose a Private Minibus in Mauritius?
A private minibus with driver is the ideal way to get around Mauritius for any group. Here’s why so many travelers – from large families to corporate groups – prefer this option:
Stay Together & Save Money: With a minibus, your whole group (up to 10 passengers in one vehicle) travels together, so no one gets left behind. You won’t need to split into multiple taxis or rental cars, which often ends up costing more. One flat rate covers the whole vehicle, often making it cheaper per person than hiring several separate cabs. Big group? Save money and share the fun by riding all together.
Comfort for Groups & Families: Enjoy a spacious ride with plenty of legroom and luggage space. A private minibus easily fits your suitcases, golf bags, strollers, and even surfboards. This means no cramming into small cars – everyone can stretch out in a clean, air-conditioned interior. For families with kids, it’s a game-changer: free child seats are available on request to keep little ones safe, and there’s room for all the snacks and toys.
Hassle-Free Airport Pickup: Arriving in Mauritius after a long flight? Skip the taxi queue and let us meet you at the gate. Our driver will be waiting at Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport (MRU) arrivals with a sign bearing your name. Meet-and-greet service means you head straight from baggage claim to your private minibus – no stress, no waiting around. We also track your flight in real time, so if you’re delayed or arrive early, we adjust pickup accordingly at no extra charge. Your vacation starts the moment you step off the plane!
Direct Door-to-Door Service: With a private minibus transfer, there are no unwanted stops. Unlike shared shuttles that make multiple drop-offs, our service takes you directly to your hotel, villa, or any destination you choose with no detours or delays. It’s your vehicle on your schedule.
Safe & Reliable Transportation: Your safety and peace of mind are our top priorities. All our drivers are professional, licensed locals with years of experience on Mauritian roads. They drive carefully and adhere to all safety regulations. Our minibuses are fully insured and undergo regular maintenance and safety checks. Expect a clean, modern vehicle with functioning seat belts for every passenger, and air conditioning to keep you cool in the tropical heat. We even have onboard Wi-Fi in select minibuses so you can stay connected on the go.
Flexibility & Personalization: A private minibus adapts to your plans. Need to make a quick stop or change your destination on the fly? Our service is flexible – just tell your driver and we’ll accommodate reasonable requests. Unlike rigid tour buses, you set the pace. Want to pause for photos, grab a snack, or detour to a viewpoint? No problem – with a private hire, the itinerary is up to you.
In short, choosing a private minibus in Mauritius means comfort, convenience, and control. You’re hiring more than just a vehicle – you’re getting a personal chauffeur service that is tailored to your group.
Versatile Services for Every Occasion
One of the best things about our minibus hire service in Mauritius is its versatility. We handle all kinds of transportation needs, including:
Airport Transfers – Start and End Your Trip Smoothly
Traveling with a group to or from the airport? Our Mauritius airport transfer by private minibus ensures your vacation begins and ends on a high note. We operate 24/7, so whether you have a 6 AM arrival or a midnight departure, we’ve got you covered. Here’s what to expect from our airport transfer service:
Meet & Greet: Our driver will meet you right after customs with a welcome sign. No one in your party will feel lost or unsure where to go – we’ll be there to guide you.
Help with Luggage: Minibuses are ideal for travelers with lots of luggage. Your driver will help load all bags carefully. Our vehicles have ample luggage space – for example, a 10-seater high-roof minibus can fit around 8–10 large suitcases in the boot. So even if you’re traveling heavy (golf gear, baby strollers, dive equipment – bring it on!), there’s space for everything.
Flight Delay Monitoring: Don’t worry if your flight schedule changes. We keep an eye on your flight’s status so that even if you land later than expected, there’s no extra wait or charge for you. If your flight is delayed, we adjust our timing; if it’s early, we’ll be there when you land. You’ll never have to call us to say “we’re delayed” – it’s already handled.
Island-Wide Coverage: Whether you’re heading to a beach resort in Grand Baie, a business hotel in Port Louis, a villa in Flic en Flac, or a guesthouse on the wild south coast, we’ll take you there. We serve every corner of Mauritius. Just tell us your destination and enjoy a relaxing ride after your flight.
Punctual Departures: When it’s time to go home, we make sure you catch your flight without stress. We recommend scheduling your hotel pickup roughly 3 hours before departure (depending on your location), and our driver will arrive promptly to get you to the airport with time to spare. No last-minute rush, no fear of missing your flight – we pride ourselves on on-time pickups and efficient routes.
Example Airport Transfer Rates: Our pricing is straightforward and group-friendly. For instance, a private minibus transfer from MRU Airport to popular areas like Grand Baie or Belle Mare starts at around €70 total (approximately $80 USD or 3500 MUR) for up to 10 passengers. This flat rate covers everyone and their luggage – a fantastic value compared to paying multiple taxis. Other routes of similar distance (like airport to Flic en Flac or Le Morne) are in the same range (~3500–3800 MUR). No hidden fees either – the price we quote includes all taxes, fuel, tolls, and driver wait time, even if your flight is delayed. You simply pay what you’re quoted, and that’s it.
Island Tours & Excursions – Explore Mauritius Together
Mauritius is more than its resorts – it’s an island full of waterfalls, rainforests, coral reefs, bustling markets, and UNESCO World Heritage sites. With our private minibus hire, you can explore the island’s attractions with your group comfortably and at your own pace.
Custom Itineraries: Plan your perfect day out. Whether you want to visit the Chamarel Seven Colored Earth, shop at Port Louis Market, or go snorkeling at Blue Bay, we’ll make it happen. You can either tell us which spots you want to see or ask our knowledgeable driver-guides for recommendations.
Total Flexibility: Unlike group tours, a private minibus excursion has no fixed timetable. Want to spend an extra hour at a beautiful beach or pause to grab fresh street food? Go for it! Your driver will adjust the plan as you wish. Traveling with kids who need a break? No worries – the day is yours to design.
Comfort All Day: Our minibuses have strong air conditioning and lots of storage. We even offer free baby or booster seats so the whole family can join safely.
Experienced Driver-Guides: Your driver doubles as a friendly local guide. While not official tour guides, they know the island well and love to share insights. Want to know where to eat, shop, or swim? Just ask.
Whether it’s a half-day jaunt or a multi-day itinerary, we can arrange it. Use the same minibus and driver each day for continuity and comfort.
Corporate Events & Business Travel – Professional Group Transport
If you’re visiting Mauritius for a conference, corporate retreat, or business meeting, our minibus hire service ensures your colleagues or clients travel efficiently and comfortably.
Airport & Hotel Shuttles: We can handle arrivals of team members or VIP clients from different flights. Schedule multiple pickups with ease.

Flexible Scheduling: Meetings running late? We can adjust your pickup times with just a call. Our team is always reachable.
We offer smooth transport for executive groups of 5 or delegations of 50 with multiple vehicles. Reliable, discreet, and perfectly timed – the way corporate travel should be.
Weddings & Special Events – Keeping Your Celebration on Track
Planning a destination wedding or special event in Mauritius? We provide wedding shuttle services and event transfers with private minibuses.
Wedding Party Transportation: Shuttle your guests between hotels, ceremony venues, and receptions. Everyone arrives together and on time – no stress.
