Parking
Parking in Mauritius is generally easy around beaches, shopping areas, and hotels, while city centers such as Port Louis often use paid parking zones or private car parks.
In central areas, rates commonly range from about Rs 25 to Rs 80 per hour, and some locations may require cash or have time based conditions on weekdays, Sundays, or public holidays.
Gas Stations
Fuel stations are widely available across the island, with well known brands such as Engen, Shell, IndianOil, and TotalEnergies commonly used by locals and visitors.
The prices at the petrol stations are Rs 58.45 per litre for petrol and Rs 58.95 per litre for diesel, so the cost of fuel is the same at different petrol stations.
Toll Roads
Mauritius currently has no toll roads, so you can use the island’s public roads and motorways without paying any road fee.
This means the cost for toll roads is Rs 0, although traffic can still be heavier near Port Louis and other busy urban areas during peak hours.
