Insurance Cover in Mauritius, Car Rental and Rental of Apartment

Dear All,

I will be moving to Mauritius on 26 March and i will be super grateful if i could get some inputs on the following:-


1. Medical Insurance Cover in Mauritius
- I would require a insurance cover in mauritius and i am unsure what is the best option for me. i have no health issues and 26 years old from Singapore.
- i will need to be covered for hospitalization, outpatient, emergency and clinic visitations.
- i am unsure what is the cost there to visit doctors and all.
any recommendations of plans and insurance cover to take?

2. Rental of car in Mauritius
- i have recently got my class 3 license in Singapore (less than one year from issuance).
- Should i drive a auto or manual car in Mauritius.
-Given the short period of issuance, is it advisable for me to drive in Mauritius?
-What is a pricing for a medium range car?

3. Rental of apartment in Mauritius
-i rented a airbnb from 26 march to 18 april. during that time, i will be looking for an apartment for a year tenancy.
- Being a single lady moving to mauritius, i am looking for an apartment which is one to 2 rooms.
-30,000 MUR including electricity, water, internet facilities, cleaning (Weekly).
- is it possible to find a nice apartment for that pricing.
