Landed at PRI mid-morning, supplier handed over a Hyundai i10 within twenty minutes. We drove straight to Anse Lazio; the climb from Baie Sainte Anne is steep but the automatic gearbox handled it without fuss. Fuel station at Grand Anse was convenient on return day. Clear voucher, no hidden clauses. Honestly a smooth process from enquiry to drop-off.

We needed two child seats for our daughters. The voucher stated both would be fitted; on collection the supplier had them ready and walked us through the harness system. Left-hand drive took ten minutes to adjust but the 40 km/h limit on inland roads gave us time. We explored Cote d'Or, Anse Volbert and even the track toward Anse Georgette without issue. Perfect for families.

Collection was delayed fifteen minutes - supplier's previous customer ran late returning from La Digue ferry. Not ideal but they phoned ahead, apologised and bumped us to a newer Kia Picanto at no charge. After that the hire ran perfectly. Drop-off at the airport was quick. Four stars because punctuality matters, five stars for how they fixed it.

Arrived on Cat Cocos from Mahe, picked up the car at Baie Sainte Anne within walking distance of the jetty. The supplier explained fuel policy and speed limits clearly. We drove to Anse Lazio twice, Cote d'Or daily, and down to Grand Anse for fuel top-up. Insurance details in the voucher matched what was said at handover. Zero surprises, which is exactly what you want.

Short notice booking - we decided to add Praslin only two days before the Cat Rose sailing. Aggregator found availability, voucher arrived within hours. Suzuki Alto was basic but reliable. Roads are narrow; 65 km/h coastal limit feels fast enough. Returned the car a day early due to weather; supplier credited the difference without argument. Fair Terms throughout.

Three adults, five days, one Nissan Note. Boot space handled our luggage and snorkel kit comfortably. We used it for every beach run: Anse Lazio, Anse Georgette access track, Anse Volbert, even the quieter coves near Amitie. Fuel consumption was reasonable; one fill at Baie Sainte Anne covered most of the week. Supplier was professional at both ends of the contract.

First time driving on the left. Supplier spotted my hesitation and spent five minutes explaining roundabout protocol and hill-start technique for the manual gearbox. That coaching made the difference. By day two I felt confident on the climb to Anse Lazio viewpoint. Voucher insurance covered collision damage; excess amount was stated clearly. No deposit demanded at pick-up, which helped cash flow.

Car was clean and drove well. Minor quibble: air-con took a while to cool the cabin in afternoon heat. We also hoped for a slightly newer model based on the listing photo, but the supplier explained availability shifts daily. In practice the vehicle did everything we needed - airport, beaches, ferry terminal for our La Digue day trip. Solid four-star experience.

We combined this hire with the Cat Cocos schedule: picked up the car right after docking at Baie Sainte Anne, dropped it the evening before our return sailing to Mahe. Timing worked perfectly. The Toyota Vitz handled the steep section to Anse Lazio without struggling; automatic transmission was a good call. Voucher terms were straightforward, supplier's handover checklist thorough.

Rented for a week, drove every corner of Praslin. Fuel at Grand Anse, top-up at Baie Sainte Anne before drop-off. Roads are narrow and winding but the 40 km/h inland limit gives you reaction time. Supplier met us at PRI arrivals with paperwork ready; return took five minutes. Insurance and liability limits were printed in the voucher. Efficient, transparent, exactly as described during booking.
