How airport transfer pricing works in Mauritius
Mauritius does not use traditional taxi meters in the way many European or North American cities do. Instead, airport taxis work on a fixed-zone fare system, and pre-booked private transfers usually quote a fixed price per vehicle.
The price you pay depends on four main factors: distance to your destination, vehicle size, time of day, and whether you pre-book or negotiate on arrival.

Airport taxi stand prices
The official airport taxi counter at SSR uses fixed fares by zone. Expect to pay roughly Rs 1,000–Rs 3,500 depending on your destination. Hotel taxis are usually 20–50% more expensive than pre-booked transfers.
Extra costs to watch for
- Night surcharge: Usually €10–€15 extra for pickups between 23:00 and 05:00.
- Child seats: Often free with pre-booked services; rarely available with metered taxis.
- Large luggage: Golf bags, surfboards, or excess cases may need a larger vehicle.
- Waiting time: Pre-booked services usually include 1 hour after landing.
Why pre-booking saves money
Pre-booking locks in a fixed price. You avoid haggling, reduce the risk of scams, and gain flight tracking and meet-and-greet service. For families and groups, a pre-booked minivan is almost always cheaper than multiple airport taxis.
