Car Hire vs YuGo (Uber like ride service)

@BlueBell7

Hello,

Hiring a car is best (less time consuming/less costly) but it depends ... how long would be staying here ?

Hi Bhava,

I will be living there for 1 year.

@BlueBell7

I think it's way more simpler if you can get your own car (either by buying one or renting).

Feel free to contact car rental companies to order quotes : Car rental in Mauritius

And have a look at existing ads for cars for sale :

Awesome thanks for the advice & info. I agree getting my own car would be best.

I'm here for two months and have rented a car. It isn't pristine. It has bumps and scrapes but seems reliable and light on petrol. You are welcome to contact the person I rented it from to see if he can help you. I will send his details privately.

Awrsome thanks, i appreciate that.

Does Yugo actually work? Hoping to find an alternative to Uber while there...

I use a couple of private taxi drivers who charge me the same for going to the same place each week. I suggest you talk to the local taxi drivers, find someone you can trust & get their number. Then you can book them as you need to. I find this cheaper & safer.

No, it doesn't... Taxi could be an option if you are not travelling long distances and late hours... Otherwise, everything is much more complicated and expensive...
