What travellers say after comparing offers on our site and picking up a car on Mahe, Praslin or in Victoria.
Below is a selection of feedback left by people who used our site to compare offers from local suppliers on Mahe, Praslin and around Victoria, then completed their booking online. We publish the reviews as they come in, positive and critical, because the whole point of comparing is to keep suppliers honest. Most comments mention the same things: no deposit needed, straightforward pick-up, and clear pricing before they committed to anything.
Compared three suppliers for our week on Mahe and booked the cheapest small SUV in about ten minutes. Collection at SEZ airport was in the car park, no counter, driver was waiting with the paperwork. Driving on the left felt exactly like home so that worry was for nothing.
Nous avons compare plusieurs offres avant de reserver une petite voiture pour Praslin. Pas de caution demandee, juste notre carte de debit. La voiture etait garee juste devant l'hotel a l'heure convenue.
Good comparison tool, saved us maybe 15 euros a day versus the first quote I found elsewhere. Car hire in Seychelles is not cheap in August but at least we knew we had a fair price. Only complaint is the fuel gauge photo at handover was a bit blurry.
Booked a compact automatic for the Mahe serpentines and it handled the hills to Anse Intendance fine. Supplier called ahead of arrival to confirm the time. No credit card was needed, we paid the balance in cash on pick-up.
Rented a car for Praslin through the site after flying in from Mahe. Fuel station situation there is real, only two on the whole island, but the supplier flagged it in advance so we planned around it. Vallee de Mai and Anse Lazio were an easy drive.
My first time hiring a car abroad and the left-hand driving side made it painless as a British driver. UK licence was accepted with no international permit needed. The comparison page made it obvious which supplier had the better cancellation terms.
Buon rapporto qualita prezzo per una utilitaria durante la stagione bassa di maggio. Prezzo onesto, nessun deposito bloccato sulla carta. Le strade di montagna sono strette ma con calma non ci sono problemi.
We compared four cars for a family trip in December and the SUV we picked handled the roads to the south of Mahe with no trouble. Booking through the site was quick and the confirmation email had everything we needed for the airport pick-up.
Good clear pricing, no hidden extras added at the counter like we had in another country last year. The small car we hired was more than enough for Victoria and the beaches nearby, Beau Vallon included.
Solid experience overall. Car rental prices in Seychelles jump a lot in peak weeks so booking ahead through the comparison page definitely paid off. Delivery to our hotel in Victoria was on time to the minute.
Read a few reviews here before deciding and they matched our own experience exactly. No deposit, no credit card, just a debit card swipe and a copy of the licence. Would use this to compare again next time.
Sehr transparente Preise, kein verstecktes Kautionsproblem wie oft ueblich. Die Uebergabe am Flughafen SEZ war unkompliziert, das Auto stand direkt auf dem Parkplatz.
Great value in June, well below the December prices friends had told us about. Small car was plenty for getting around Mahe, though the road up to La Misere is genuinely steep and narrow, worth taking slow.
Easy to compare a handful of local suppliers side by side instead of guessing which website to trust. Pick-up ran about twenty minutes late but the driver called ahead to warn us, so no real issue.
Reservation simple et rapide, aucune carte de credit exigee, juste un depot en especes rendu integralement au retour du vehicule. Tres pratique pour explorer Mahe a notre rythme.
Booked car hire for a week on Mahe and it was the smoothest airport pick-up I have had anywhere. Straight to the car park, keys handed over, done in five minutes. Driving on the left is one less thing to think about as a UK driver.
Compared prices for Praslin and found a fair rate for the low season in September. The supplier explained clearly that the car stays on the island and we would need a separate booking if we crossed by ferry to Mahe, which we appreciated knowing upfront.
Decent little car for the price, automatic gearbox made the hill roads easier for my wife who does not drive manual. One star off only because the aircon took a minute to cool down, minor thing.
Tres bonne experience, prix clairs affiches avant reservation et aucune surprise sur place. Nous avons pu comparer plusieurs voitures pour notre sejour a Victoria en quelques clics.
Rented a car for a short stopover between islands. Useful to see the from-price per day upfront rather than at the end of a booking form. Would recommend for anyone nervous about hidden costs.
Prenotazione tramite il sito molto semplice, nessuna carta di credito richiesta. L'auto era pulita e pronta all'orario indicato vicino all'hotel a Victoria.
Third time hiring through this site across different trips and it has been consistent every time. Clear terms, no deposit held on the card, and the comparison makes it obvious who offers the better conditions, not just the lowest headline price.
Good service overall, easy to compare and book. Roads on Mahe at night are genuinely dark and unlit in places so we stuck to daytime driving, which the supplier had actually recommended when we picked up the car.
Straightforward booking, honest pricing for a July trip which is peak season, so we knew to expect higher rates and budgeted accordingly. Car hire desk was really just a friendly guy in the car park with a tablet, worked fine.
Muy buena experiencia comparando precios antes de reservar. Sin deposito, sin tarjeta de credito, solo la licencia de conducir y un pago en efectivo. El coche fue perfecto para movernos por Mahe.
Used the site to compare rates for a two week trip and ended up saving a decent amount versus the first quote we got by email direct. Handover at the airport was quick and the whole process felt genuinely local rather than corporate.
