Questions about some aspects in Mauritius (costs of insurance etc?)

Jeepers, it is nearly June and I am still in negotiations with company to move to Mauritius!

Looks like we only expect to relocate in 2-3 months time... what a long drawn out process!

Expecting a letter of employment this week to finalise the negotiations.

Some small items I wanted to enquire about:

1. Motor vehicle insurance, how much does it cost a month and through which insurance company? I am a 36 year old male.
2. If your partner is not married to you, how does she apply for a work permit in Mu, or how does she apply for self employed permit in Mu.
3. Can she apply for a self employed permit once on the island?
4. Bringing family pets with, is it worth it, any recommendations on who they travelled with when relocating and how long did the process take?

Look forward answers?
