Hello Mauritius!

Welcome!

I have moved the discussion to the Mauritius forum

Have you read the other threads?

Cheers,

Julien

You should have a look to http://www.lexpressproperty.com/index.php?lang=en for accommodations.

You can also temporarily stay at Residence Peramal (in G Baie) I heard they're not expensive.

Where to live? It depends where you going to work.

Not that easy to find a good car rental these days

Today I found a place in Grand Baie for 300 rupee per day.  It has two bedrooms and a kitchen, is a ten minute walk to the Super U, and is close to the beach.  It is very modest, and I like it!  Maybe I could have found a fancier place, but.

Next I will try to find a car.  I walked into a place from the street and the guy quoted me 1900 rupee for the month.  I think this is very expensive.  He explained that maybe the cheaper rentals have the black licence plate, which means without insurance.  He said that the yellow licence plates are insured, and that is more expensive.  It still sounds very expensive.  I told him I would talk to my friend and find out what he pays, then get back to him on what I think it should cost.

So, any input?

also, I had heard the same thing about Residence Peramal.  I went there and the manager was very nice, and I think the places are very nice, but he wants 900 rupees per day.  Too bad for me, so I found a cheaper place.  Over two months it makes a difference, but for temporary I think the Residence Peramal would be a good choice.

also, I am interested in an english - creole dictionary... has anyone ever seen one around?

Good! I would be interested in getting in contact with the landlord, we never now, it could help one day...

I think you mean 19 000 rs? Yes it is very expensive. All the expats I know have a black plate, and we are insured. I currently pay 12 000 rs for a very small car (Kelisa), I am pretty sure I could find a better deal. But it's not easy these days...

yes, I did mean 19000 rupees.
