Welcome to the Airport Taxi Mauritius. Picture this: you’re finally stepping off that plane after what feels like an eternity in the air. Your back’s aching, you’ve watched three terrible movies, and honestly, you’re just desperate for a proper shower and a real bed. But first, you’ve got to actually get to your hotel.

I remember my first trip to Mauritius. Landed around 11 pm, absolutely shattered. Walked into arrivals and immediately got swarmed by taxi drivers, all shouting different prices. One guy wanted 60 euros to Grand Baie, another said 45, a third was waving his hand saying, “Special price for you, my friend.” Ended up paying way more than I should’ve because I was too tired to haggle properly.

That’s pretty much why we started GoTaxi.vip. Not because we thought we could revolutionize transport or anything dramatic like that – just because getting from the airport to your hotel shouldn’t involve stress, confusion, or feeling like you might be getting ripped off. Book online before you fly, know exactly what you’re paying, and have someone waiting when you land. Really, it’s not complicated.

We cover the whole island. Heading up to Grand Baie for the nightlife? Sorted. Going west to catch those famous Flic en Flac sunsets? We’ll get you there. Luxury resort down in Le Morne? No worries. Wherever you’re planning to stay in Mauritius, we’ve probably driven there about a thousand times already.

Why Book a Dedicated Airport Taxi Mauritius Service?

Right, so here’s what usually happens if you don’t pre-book. You collect your luggage, walk through customs feeling all excited about your holiday, then immediately hit reality: there’s a massive queue for taxis and you’re stuck at the back of it.

If you’re lucky and it’s a quiet time, maybe you wait 15 minutes. During peak season, though – like Christmas, New Year, or those busy summer months – I’ve genuinely seen people standing there for close to an hour. In the heat. With cranky kids. Not exactly the dream start to a tropical holiday.

Skip Long Queues and Overpriced Airport Taxis

The thing about airport taxi ranks is they know they’ve got you cornered, basically. You’ve just flown halfway across the world, you’re knackered, you need to get somewhere. They’re not going to give you their best price because… well, why would they?

My mate Tom went to Mauritius two years back, didn’t book anything in advance. Got quoted €70 for a journey that should’ve cost about €35. He tried negotiating but the driver just shrugged and pointed at all the other tourists waiting. Supply and demand, innit?

When you book with us beforehand, your driver’s already assigned. We’ve sent you his details. He’s standing there with your name on a board. You walk straight past that whole queue, hop in, done. Plus the price was agreed days ago online, so there’s zero room for anyone to suddenly inflate it.

Enjoy Meet-and-Greet Service

This is actually one of my favorite bits. A day or two before you fly, you’ll get a WhatsApp message from us. Contains a photo of your driver – usually a selfie, sometimes a proper photo if they’re feeling fancy. His name’s right there, his phone number, what car he’s driving, even the registration plate.

Feels weirdly personal, doesn’t it? Like you’re being picked up by someone you almost know rather than a random stranger. And if anything goes wrong – can’t find each other in the crowd, flight lands at a different gate, whatever – you’ve got his number saved already. Just ping him a quick message.

We also track flights in real time. Your plane’s delayed two hours? Fine, the driver shows up two hours later. He’s not there waiting the whole time watching the clock (and secretly adding on extra charges). The system updates automatically and he adjusts his schedule. Dead simple.

Licensed Local Drivers Who Know Every Route

Every driver’s properly licensed and background checked. We don’t take shortcuts there because, you know, safety matters. But what really makes the difference is they’re all locals who’ve spent their whole lives on this island.

They don’t just know how to get from A to B – they know the best way. Which route has less traffic at 5pm. Which roads get waterlogged when it rains heavily. That sneaky shortcut through the back streets of Curepipe that saves ten minutes.

Most of them speak decent English and French. Some know a bit of Creole phrases they’ll teach you if you’re interested. And if you want restaurant recommendations or tips about what to do, just ask. They’re usually more helpful than TripAdvisor, honestly.

Clean Vehicles with Professional Service

I’m pretty fussy about cleanliness in cars. Can’t stand it when you get in somewhere and there’s old coffee cups rattling around or it smells weird. Every single one of our vehicles gets a proper clean between passengers – not just chucking the rubbish out, but actually cleaning it.

Air conditioning works properly, which sounds obvious but you’d be surprised. Mauritius is hot and humid, especially in summer. Sitting in a car with dodgy AC for an hour isn’t my idea of fun.

We’ve got different sized vehicles depending what you need. Just you with a backpack? Standard sedan’s perfect. Whole family with suitcases and diving equipment? Grab one of the bigger vans. There’s options for basically any situation.

Airport Taxi Mauritius Prices 2025 (Updated Rates)

Let’s talk money because everyone wants to know what they’re actually paying, right? The annoying thing about metered taxis is you never quite know. Driver takes a slightly longer route, meter keeps ticking. Hit some traffic, meter keeps ticking. By the time you arrive you’re either pleasantly surprised or mildly annoyed.

We just tell you upfront what it costs. That’s it. No watching numbers climb on a meter hoping they stop soon. No surprise extras tacked on at the end. The price you see when booking online is exactly what leaves your wallet.

Private vs Shared Taxis: What’s the Difference?

Shared shuttles seem brilliant when you first look at them – cheaper price, same destination, what’s not to like? Then reality hits. You’re waiting around for the shuttle to fill up with enough passengers to make it worthwhile for them. Could be ten minutes, could be forty. Depends who else landed on your flight and where they’re going.

Then once you finally set off, you’re stopping at every single hotel along the way. Someone’s getting out at the first stop. Then another person at the second. Oh great, now we’re detouring inland because someone’s at a guesthouse off the main road. That “60 minute” journey stretches to two hours easily.

Meanwhile you’re sitting there watching everyone else reach their destinations while yours keeps getting further away. Your mates who splashed out for a private transfer? Already at the hotel bar ordering their first cocktail.

Private means private. Car’s yours from start to finish. No strangers, no detours, no waiting. Straight from airport to your hotel and nowhere else.

Flexible Cancellation Policy

Plans change – happens to everyone. Your boss suddenly needs you for that meeting so you postpone the trip. The hotel double-booked your room so you’ve switched to somewhere else. Your kid comes down with chickenpox the day before flying. Life’s unpredictable.

Cancel at least 24 hours before pickup time and we’ll refund the whole lot. Not vouchers for next time, actual money back. If you need to change details rather than cancel completely – different hotel, later flight time, bigger car because more people are coming – just contact us whenever. Our support team will update everything in about five minutes.

How to Book Your Airport Transfer Online with GoTaxi.vip

Booking should be easy, not some complicated ordeal. We’ve set it up so even my dad could do it, and he still struggles with his smartphone half the time. Four steps, takes maybe five minutes tops:

Step 1: Select Your Pickup and Destination

Open GoTaxi.vip on whatever device you’re using. Two big boxes right there on the homepage – one says pickup location, other says destination.

Type “SSR Airport” or even just “airport” in the first box. Our system’s smart enough to figure out you mean Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International. Then stick your hotel name in the destination box. If you can’t remember the exact spelling, doesn’t matter – type what you know and suggestions pop up.

Hit the search button and you’ll see the route mapped out, distance shown, all the available vehicles for that journey listed out.

Step 2: Choose Your Car Type

This bit’s dead straightforward. How many people are traveling? How much luggage have you got?

Just you with a carry-on? Standard taxi does the job perfectly. Family of four with proper suitcases? MPV gives you way more space. Six mates going on a lads’ holiday with way too much stuff? Definitely grab the minivan or you’ll be sitting on someone’s lap.

Every vehicle option shows actual photos, maximum passengers, luggage capacity, and the exact price. No hidden “oh by the way” costs appearing later.

Step 3: Confirm Your Booking Instantly

Fill in your flight number – proper important this, we need it to track you. Stick in what time you’re landing and your phone number or email. Then pick how you’re paying – card online right now, or cash to the driver when you arrive.

Click the confirm button. Literally within seconds you get a confirmation screen and an email pings into your inbox with all your booking details. Screenshot it, print it, email it to yourself twice – whatever makes you feel organized.

Step 4: Receive Driver and Vehicle Details

Couple days before your flight, we’ll message you on WhatsApp and email. Contains everything: driver’s full name, what he looks like (photo attached), his direct mobile number, description of the car, license plate number.

Save that phone number immediately with a clear name like “Mauritius Driver” or whatever. Then if anything goes slightly wrong at the airport – you’ve come out the wrong exit, it’s really crowded, whatever – just message him directly. Sorted in seconds.

Best Destinations Covered from SSR International Airport

Mauritius looks tiny on maps but different areas feel completely different from each other. North’s busy and lively, south’s quiet and dramatic, east and west have their own personalities. Here’s the actual lowdown on where people usually go:

Grand Baie – The Lively Beach Town

Grand Baie’s basically Mauritius’s party central. If you want action, this is where you head. Located up north, about an hour and a bit from the airport depending on traffic.

Daytime’s all about the water. Jet skis everywhere, parasailing, those big inflatable banana things being dragged behind speedboats. People swimming, sunbathing, playing beach volleyball. Shopping centers stay open late with everything from cheap souvenir shops to slightly fancier boutiques.

Restaurants cover every possible budget and cuisine. Want cheap local street food? Sorted. Fancy somewhere nice for an anniversary dinner? Got plenty of options. Then once the sun goes down, bars and beach clubs start filling up. Music gets louder, drinks start flowing, suddenly it’s 2am and you’re wondering where the time went.

If you’re young, or young at heart, or traveling with teenagers who’ll moan if there’s nothing to do – Grand Baie works. It’s buzzing. Sometimes maybe a bit too buzzing if you prefer peace and quiet, but you can’t have everything.

The drive from SSR takes you through the middle of the island first. Miles and miles of sugarcane fields on both sides. Small villages where locals are just getting on with normal life. Then you start heading north and the scenery changes as you get closer to the coast.

Port Louis – The Bustling Capital

Most tourists skip Port Louis because beaches are elsewhere. Bit of a shame really because the capital’s got proper character.

Central Market’s the big attraction. Loud, colorful, slightly chaotic in the best way. Vendors selling spices, fresh fish, tropical fruits you’ve never heard of. Everyone’s shouting prices and trying to get your attention. It’s not a polished tourist experience – it’s just real local life happening around you.

Caudan Waterfront’s more tourist-friendly if markets aren’t your thing. Shops, restaurants, nice views of the harbor. Bit more sanitized but still pleasant.

The food though – that’s where Port Louis really shines. Street food vendors doing dholl puri (chickpea flatbread curry things) that locals queue up for every morning. Little restaurants tucked down side streets serving proper Mauritian cuisine. This is where you eat the good stuff, not resort buffet versions.

Getting there from the airport’s quick, 45-50 minutes usually. Pretty much a straight run so even if there’s a bit of traffic you won’t be stuck long.

Flic en Flac – Sunset Paradise

West coast’s famous for sunsets and Flic en Flac delivers on that promise big time. This beach just goes on forever – seriously, I tried walking the whole length once and gave up.

Water’s calm and clear. Good for swimming without worrying about currents or waves. Families like it because kids can mess about safely in the shallows. Snorkeling right off the beach is decent – not world-class, but you’ll see plenty of colorful fish without needing to get on a boat.

Vibe’s way more chilled than Grand Baie. You’ve still got restaurants and bars, small shops, places to rent water sports equipment. Just without that frantic “what are we doing next?” energy. More like somewhere to properly relax.

Evenings everyone congregates on the beach for sunset. People set up with beers or rum punch, kids running around, couples taking photos. Sky goes through about seventeen different shades of orange and pink. Properly beautiful, not even exaggerating.

Airport to Flic en Flac takes 50-60 minutes. Once you’re past the central plateau you’re driving along coastal roads with ocean views most of the way.

Le Morne – Luxury and Adventure Combined

Le Morne Brabant – that big dramatic mountain you’ve seen in every Mauritius photo ever – sits down in the southwest. UNESCO World Heritage site because of its history, stunning to look at from any angle.

This area’s pricier than most others. High-end resorts, fewer hotels overall, way less crowded. You’re paying for exclusivity and those postcard-perfect views.

Attracts two crowds: people who want luxury resort experiences, and kitesurfers. Sometimes both. The lagoon conditions make it one of the world’s best kitesurfing spots. Watch them from the beach – looks absolutely mental seeing people flying above the water holding onto massive kites.

Diving and snorkeling nearby’s excellent. Underwater landscapes around here are some of Mauritius’s best. Clear water, healthy coral, tons of fish.

Takes longer to reach from the airport, 75-90 minutes depending which resort you’re staying at. But the drive’s genuinely scenic – landscapes change from inland areas to coastal roads, mountains in the background, ocean views. Makes the journey feel shorter than it is.

Belle Mare – East Coast Serenity

Want to escape crowds completely? East coast, particularly Belle Mare area, gives you that.

Beaches look fake. That’s the best way I can describe them. White sand that squeaks when you walk on it, water that’s about six different shades of blue. Photos don’t do it justice, which is annoying because you end up taking hundreds trying to capture it properly.

Fewer hotels on this side, and the ones here tend to be expensive. You’re paying for that “private paradise” feeling. Can walk for ages without seeing many other people.

Trade-off is you’re further from main attractions if you want day trips to other parts. And yeah, generally costs more. But if your ideal holiday involves reading books on empty beaches with occasional breaks for swimming, Belle Mare might be spot on.

Journey from SSR Airport takes about 60-70 minutes. You’re heading east across the island, landscape gradually shifting from that central plateau area down to coastal lowlands.

Trou aux Biches – Family-Friendly Shores

Up north again but different vibe from Grand Baie despite being fairly close. Trou aux Biches is noticeably more family-oriented.

Water’s shallow and calm – properly calm, not just “calm for the ocean.” Parents can actually relax because kids can splash about safely without constant supervision. Beach is well-kept, clean, proper facilities nearby.

Still plenty of resorts, restaurants, dive centers. Not like you’re stuck somewhere boring with nothing to do. Just toned down several notches from Grand Baie’s intensity. More like Grand Baie’s sensible older sibling who goes to bed at a reasonable hour.

See loads of families with young children here. Easy walk to restaurants for dinner, kids play on the beach all morning without parents stressing, most hotels offer babysitting if you want an adults-only evening.

Drive from airport’s similar timing to Grand Baie, around 65-75 minutes. Depends exactly where along the beach your accommodation is.

Why Choose GoTaxi.vip for Your Airport Taxi Mauritius

Right, sales pitch time. But instead of spouting corporate nonsense, let me explain what actually matters:

24/7 Customer Support

We genuinely answer when you contact us, whatever time that happens to be. Not “office hours only” hidden in the small print.

Had this one situation last year, customer messaged at 3am absolutely panicking. Their flight got diverted to Reunion Island instead of Mauritius because of bad weather. They were freaking out asking what to do.

We contacted the driver, explained the situation, sorted an alternative pickup for when they finally got a flight to Mauritius the next day. Customer was so relieved they actually cried apparently. Bit dramatic maybe, but travel stress is real.

Contact us through live chat, WhatsApp (most people use this), email, phone call – whatever you prefer. Someone responds pretty quickly.

Fixed and Transparent Prices

Price shown online is what you pay. That’s it. Full stop.

No “oh actually there’s a luggage surcharge.” No “nighttime costs more.” No “that route has tolls” (Mauritius doesn’t have toll roads anyway but making the point). No surprises.

We quote the complete amount upfront. You agree to it. That exact amount gets paid. Everyone knows exactly where they stand from the beginning.

Local Drivers, Professional Service

All our drivers have proper licenses and background checks. Non-negotiable safety stuff.

But the real difference is they’re locals who grew up here. Not just people who moved to Mauritius last year and memorized some routes. These are guys who learned to drive on these roads, know every shortcut, remember which areas flood during rain, can tell you which restaurant does the best vindaye.

They’re professional but not stuffy. Friendly without being annoying. Read the room basically – if you want to chat they’ll happily talk about Mauritius for the whole journey. If you’d rather sit quietly staring out the window recovering from jetlag, they get that vibe and leave you in peace.

Free Waiting Time for Delayed Flights

Flight delays are irritating enough without worrying about extra charges piling up while you’re stuck circling in the air.

When you book, you give us your flight number. We track it through systems that update in real time. If your flight’s running two hours late, we see that immediately. Driver’s notified automatically. He doesn’t show up at the original time then leave because you’re not there. He adjusts when he drives to the airport.

This doesn’t cost you anything extra. Waiting time for flight delays is just built into how we operate. It’s not some special favor we’re doing – it’s basic common sense.

Comfortable Air-Conditioned Vehicles

After hours cramped in airplane seats breathing recycled air, last thing you want is getting into an uncomfortable, stuffy car.

Every vehicle has properly working air conditioning. During Mauritian summer (which is most of the year really), this matters a lot. You’re not tough enough to handle an hour in a hot car, I promise you.

Cars get thoroughly cleaned between passengers. Regular mechanical checks ensure everything works reliably. We’re definitely not running some dodgy setup with cars that might break down halfway.

Easy Online Booking with Instant Confirmation

No emailing back and forth checking availability. No waiting for callbacks. No complicated forms that take forever.

Website booking takes a few minutes. Click through the steps, enter your details, confirm. Done. Get an email immediately confirming everything.

If you’d rather speak to someone, that’s completely fine too. Support team can walk you through booking over the phone. But the online option exists for people who just want it sorted quickly without talking to anyone.

Tips for First-Time Travelers to Mauritius

Done this enough times to know where people typically mess up. Small things that make bigger differences than you’d think:

Book Your Airport Taxi in Advance

Yeah taxis exist at the airport, you’ll eventually get one. But during busy periods – Christmas, New Year, school holidays, that July-August summer rush – you’re waiting ages in a queue.

Plus those airport taxi drivers have you slightly cornered. You’ve just done a long flight, you’re tired, you need transport. They’re not giving you their best price because frankly, why would they?

Book beforehand, driver’s already assigned before you even leave home. Price is locked in days ago. You walk straight past everyone still queueing. Feels pretty good honestly.

Share Your Flight Details for Smoother Pickup

When booking, actually provide your proper flight number and scheduled landing time. Don’t just vaguely write “Tuesday afternoon” or “around 3ish.”

We use that flight number to track you properly. If you land early because of tailwinds – we know. If you’re circling waiting for landing clearance – we know. Takes out all the guesswork and worry.

Carry Local Currency for Extras

You can pay us in Euros no problem. But having some Mauritian Rupees makes other stuff easier.

Want to tip your driver because he lugged all your suitcases and gave brilliant restaurant tips? Rupees work better. Buying fresh coconut water from beach vendors? They probably can’t change a 50 Euro note.

ATM’s right there in airport arrivals. Grab maybe 2000-3000 rupees to start. Exchange rate’s reasonable and it saves hassle later.

Keep Your Driver’s Contact Handy

When we WhatsApp you their number, immediately save it in your phone with a clear name. “Mauritius Airport Driver” or something obvious.

Airports get busy and confusing. If you come out and don’t immediately spot your name on a board (rare but happens when it’s really crowded), just message them. “Hey, I’m at arrivals near the coffee shop, where are you?” Problem solved in thirty seconds.

Pack Light But Smart

Mauritius is mega casual. Unless you’re planning fancy restaurant dinners every night, you really don’t need dressy clothes. Shorts, t-shirts, flip flops, maybe one sundress – that covers most situations.

Do bring proper sunscreen though. UV index in Mauritius is serious business. People underestimate it because there’s usually a nice breeze so you don’t feel like you’re burning. Then suddenly you’re bright red.

Buying sunscreen locally costs way more than bringing it from home. And if you’re snorkeling or swimming near coral, get reef-safe sunscreen. Regular stuff damages the reef and marine life. Works just as well, just doesn’t harm anything.

Understand the Local Time

Mauritius runs on GMT+4. Depending where you’re flying from, that might be massively different from your home timezone.

When booking your pickup, double-check you’re entering the time in Mauritius time, not accidentally your home time. We’ve had people book for completely wrong times because they forgot to convert.

Set your phone and watch to local time soon as you land. Makes everything simpler and you won’t accidentally show up late (or really early) for stuff.

FAQs – Airport Taxi Mauritius Services

How much is a taxi from SSR Airport to Grand Baie?

Standard taxi fitting three adults comfortably runs €35-40. That’s the complete price with nothing added on top.

Takes 60-75 minutes usually, depends what time of day and which exact part of Grand Baie. If you’re traveling during morning rush hour or late afternoon when everyone’s heading home from work, add maybe another ten minutes.

More people or tons of luggage? Bigger vehicles available with different pricing, all clearly shown when you search your specific route.

Can I pay online or in cash?

Either works perfectly. You choose when booking.

Paying by card online means it’s completely done before you leave home. One less thing on your mind when you land. Just get in the car and go.

Rather pay cash? Select that when booking and you’ll sort it with the driver at the end. We take Euros and Mauritian Rupees. Drivers carry change so don’t stress about exact amounts.

Is there an extra charge for night transfers?

Nope, identical price whether you land midday or midnight.

We don’t do surge pricing or nighttime extras. The quote online is what you pay whatever time your flight arrives.

Drivers work rotating shifts covering all 24 hours, so someone’s always available whenever you need picking up.

Are child seats available?

Yeah absolutely. Just mention it when booking – there’s a special requests section where you specify how many seats needed and kids’ ages.

We’ve got baby carriers, toddler seats, booster seats for older kids. Tell us their ages and we’ll make sure correct seats are fitted and ready.

Doesn’t cost extra by the way. Part of the service. Your kids’ safety isn’t something we charge separately for – that’d be pretty grim.

What if my flight is delayed?

Nothing changes from your end. You don’t need to ring us or update anything. We’re tracking your flight automatically through our system.

Your driver sees identical real-time updates we do. Flight shows delayed two hours? He adjusts when he drives to the airport. Simple as that.

No extra charges either. Waiting time because of flight delays is included in your original price.

How do I find my driver at the airport?

Come through passport control, grab your luggage from baggage claim, walk through customs into the main arrivals hall. Your driver’s standing there holding a sign with your name written clearly.

Since we’ve already sent his photo via email and WhatsApp, you’ll recognize him too. So you’re looking for him, he’s looking for you.

SSR isn’t massive. Arrivals area’s pretty compact so finding each other is straightforward. Hasn’t been a problem for any previous passengers.

Can I book a round-trip transfer?

Definitely. When you’re booking, there’s an option to add your return journey. Stick in your departure flight details and we’ll arrange both transfers at once.

Sometimes booking both together costs slightly less than two separate bookings. Plus it’s convenient – your complete airport transport sorted from day one of trip planning.

What happens if I need to cancel my booking?

Something comes up and you need to cancel? Just let us know at least 24 hours before scheduled pickup. We’ll refund the whole amount, no questions.

Need to change details instead of full cancellation? Maybe flight time changed or you switched hotels? Contact support anytime and they’ll update everything. Usually takes about five minutes total.
