About Renting a Car at Plaisance Center
Plaisance center is located in southern Mauritius, about 3 km from the international airport and serves as a practical hub for the southeastern part of the island. Two rental companies operate here, giving you choice and competitive prices. From here you can reach the Blue Bay lagoon in 15 minutes' drive and Mahébourg in under 10 minutes.
Plaisance is a quiet community surrounded by sugar cane plantations and offers an authentic Mauritian atmosphere far from tourist crowds. Nearest supermarket and local restaurants are along the main street, ideal for shopping before a longer excursion. The road to Mahébourg along the coast offers beautiful views of the lagoon.
Pick up your car early in the morning to avoid traffic congestion around the airport in the afternoon. Drive north along the east coast toward Poste Lafayette to experience pristine beaches and the village of Trou d'Eau Douce. Check that the rental company includes roadside assistance – the road network inland can be narrow and hilly.
Is it easy to park in Plaisance center? Yes, Plaisance is a small community with plenty of street parking. Avoid parking along the main road to the airport during rush hour.
What car types are available in Plaisance? The two rental companies primarily offer compact cars and SUVs, which work well for Mauritius's varied roads. Can I return the car at the airport instead?
Check with the rental company – many allow return at the airport for an extra fee, which is convenient if you fly home directly.
