KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Balaclava

  • Driving a car rental in Balaclava provides you with the freedom to explore the village and its surroundings at your own pace. You can create your itinerary, make spontaneous stops, and venture off the beaten path to discover hidden gems. Having a Balaclava car hire allows you to avoid relying on public transport or taxi services. You can conveniently travel to various attractions, such as Port Louis, the capital city of Mauritius, beaches and restaurants, without having to depend on public transport routes and hours.
  • The closest airport to Balaclava, Mauritius, is Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport (MRU), also commonly known as Mauritius International Airport. The airport is located approximately 55 km southeast of Balaclava, and is the main international gateway to Mauritius. Here, you have the choice of several car hire companies including Hertz and Avis, which are located in the car park opposite the main terminal building.
  • When driving your car rental in Balaclava, be aware that some roads in the village and beyond in Mauritius, especially in rural or less-developed areas, may be in poor condition, with potholes, uneven surfaces, or limited signage. Be cautious of pedestrians, cyclists, and animals on or near the roads, especially in residential areas and rural regions. You should also pay attention to roadside vendors or stalls close to the road, which can lead to distractions and reduced visibility.
  • When driving your car rental in Balaclava, consider that the local driving habits and practises may differ from what you are accustomed to. Some drivers might be aggressive or take risks, so it's essential to stay vigilant and drive defensively. Moreover, depending on the season, heavy rains and occasional cyclones can affect driving conditions and visibility. Within certain areas of Balaclava and Mauritius, street lighting may be limited, making driving at night more challenging.
  • Book your rental car in Balaclava at least 5 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price

If you plan to explore off-the-beaten-path locations, a sturdy vehicle like a compact SUV or a 4x4 may be more suitable.

    Because Balaclava is a small village, there aren’t many car parks or covered parking areas. There is some free parking available by Balaclava Public Beach, located directly by the beach, making it an ideal place to park for a day at the local beach, especially if you are travelling with children and need the extra bags close by in the car. It is recommended to check with your hotel or accommodation whether they offer on site parking. Some places may offer it free included in your booking, while other places may charge a small fee to use their parking facilities.
