Car Hire in Seychelles

In general, the Seychelles does not have a lot of traffic, but the busiest part of the country is the capital, Victoria, where the majority of the people are living. Victoria has one third of the entire country’s population, and therefore has more cars on the road. The peak rush hour is typically in the morning and in the afternoon. There is paid parking available within the city, but we recommend that if you plan on visiting places within the city, that you park at your accommodation and use public transport or walk, as everything is nearby. Outside of the city, we suggest you rent a car as it is the best way to visit all of the beautiful nooks and crannies that the Seychelles has to offer.

The main island of Mahé only takes about three hours to drive from end to end, so renting a car is the ideal way to visit the Seychelles. We recommend that you go to the west coast and visit some of the splendid beaches that the Seychelles is famous for, such as the Anse Intendance, perfect for a quiet swim or snorkelling. Anse Takamaka has a beach bar where you can grab a bite to eat and watch the giant tortoises. Another great option is to drive through the Seychellois National Park, where you will be able to enjoy the winding roads that weave through mangroves of lush jungle and forest.

If you plan on travelling to Seychelles and hiring a car, then keep in mind that Le Charme Rent a Car is the car rental agency with the most locations. You are likely to find one of their 28 country-wide locations either at your destination airport or somewhere in the city centre. If you haven’t picked a city to visit, Pointe La Rue is the most popular destination at the moment. Pointe La Rue also has 1 Le Charme Rent a Car car hire centre.

People drive on the left in Seychelles. If you are travelling to Seychelles from a country that drives on the opposite side of the road, then this may take some getting used to, especially if you intend to hire a car during your stay.

The road network in Seychelles has been scored 4.2 for its quality (1 lowest, 7 highest). This puts it at 59 in the world out of 137 other countries. Roads will vary significantly within the country’s different regions, so use scores as a rough guide or reference for comparison.

The BAC limit is 3.81 mg/l in Seychelles - this applies to both visitors and residents. Your BAC level is a measurement of the percentage of alcohol in your bloodstream. This information is used to determine how inebriated an individual is. Driving a vehicle with a BAC higher than 3.81 mg/l is against the law in Seychelles and you will be deemed as ‘driving under the influence’. If you are younger than 18, which is the legal drinking age in Seychelles, then you may face strict penalties if you are caught drink-driving. Keep in mind that it is never a good idea to drink-drive no matter how old you are.
