Mauritius drives on the left-hand side of the road. A UK photocard driving licence can be used to drive in Mauritius; carry the licence when driving. Rental companies often have stricter requirements than the law. These may include one year of driving experience, a higher minimum age and an International Driving Permit.
Accidents are common. Some roads are narrow and have no pavements. Pedestrians and cyclists use main roads, including motorways, by day and at night. Motorbikes are often slow and may ride without headlights at night. Drink-driving is a serious offence in Mauritius; the legal alcohol limit is very low and penalties include fines or prison.
Drivers are expected to carry yellow chalk or a yellow marker. Use it to mark the position and plate of the car on the road after an accident or breakdown. Move the car off the road where possible. The tropical cyclone season usually runs from November to May. During a cyclone you are not allowed to leave your accommodation, and car insurance policies often become invalid.
