Location information for Port Louis

Introduction

Port Louis is the capital of Mauritius. In the eighteenth century the island was under French government, until the British took over in the nineteenth century. Mauritius became independent in 1968. Many historical buildings have been preserved, like the fort Adelaide (also: La Citadelle) which characterizes the port. Before the French, the Dutch used the island as supply station for ships set out for the Netherlands East Indies. They named it after stadtholder Prince Maurice.

Population

The city has approximately 150,000 inhabitants. The largest part the population consists of descendants of laborers who were brought in from India by the colonial rulers in the nineteenth century.

Location

Port Louis is located on the northwest coast of Mauritius, an island in the Indian Ocean east of Madagascar. On the east and south sides, the city lies on the slopes of a massif, the Port Louis Moka Range. Besides the main island, the Republic includes the islands of Rodrigues (east of Mauritius), Cargados Carajos (north of Mauritius) and the Agalega Islands.

Economy

Port Louis is a prosperous city with the port being the backbone of its economy. It's the largest container port in the Indian Ocean. Besides commercial ships, luxurious yachts and cruise ships also moor at the port of Port Louis. Industry mainly consists of clothing, but there are also some chemical factories. Tourism is important: Mauritius is a popular holiday destination.

Airports

Mauritius Airport is situated on the island's southeast coast and is called Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport in full. It was named after the country's first prime minister. It's also known as Curepipe Airport. The airport lies 48 kilometers southeast of the capital and is reachable by rental car via freeway M2.

Public Transport

Port Louis has good public transport. Besides city buses there are excellent connections with other places on Mauritius. Bear in mind that there are two bus stations for regional buses: Victoria Station for buses to and from the east and the south of the island; Gare du Nord on Immigration Square for buses to and from the north.

Traffic and Parking

Port Louis is an active city and the junction for all public transport on Mauritius. Traffic is busy and finding a free parking place in the street may be difficult. There's a parking garage (Dias Pier) near the renewed port (Le Caudan Waterfront) where you can safely park your car. There are also two parking lots here: Marina Quay Parking and Barkly Wharf Parking.

Hotels

There's a huge choice of accommodations, both in Port Louis and elsewhere on Mauritius. Popular, but luxurious hotels can be found on Le Caudan Waterfront, a large shopping and entertainment area. Here you'll find for example Le Suffren Hotel and Marina (four stars) and Le Labourdonnais (five stars). Cheaper places can be found a bit further away from the port. Holiday resorts can be found in tourist places like Grand Bay, Flic en Flac, Chamarel and Mahebourg.

What most people want to know

The following questions and answers are a selection of the most popular questions. If you do not find the answer to your question, have a look at the Frequently Asked Questions page or contact us.

Is EasyTerra Car Rental the cheapest?

Yes, we offer a guarantee of the lowest price - because we compare various retailers, we can always offer you the best price in town.

What do I need to do when picking up a car?

To pick up your car, you will need your voucher, passport, driver's license and a credit card. It is very important that your driver's license and credit card are in the same name as the main driver. Keep in mind that the local rental company will reserve a certain amount on your credit card as a deposit. This requires the PIN code for your credit card. If your driver's license is foreign (for example, in Chinese), you must bring a translation with you. Only your original passport and driver's license will be accepted - a copy is not sufficient.

Are there any additional costs?

Our rates are all-inclusive. Our reservation department will inform you in advance should additional costs apply. You can always cancel your booking free of charge if you do not agree (this must be done at least 48 hours prior to the start of the car hire period).

What kind of insurance is applicable to my car rental?

In general, Liability Insurance, Fire Insurance, All-Risks Insurance and Theft Insurance are included in the cost of your rental car.

What is a worry-free label?

Only rental companies with a high level of customer satisfaction are eligible to be included in our Worry-Free selection. This rate includes excess cover and unlimited kilometres. Your vehicle will be provided and must be returned with a full tank of fuel. With a vehicle from our Worry-Free selection, you can travel with peace of mind and no hidden costs.

How can I change or cancel my reservation?

You can cancel your reservation through "My Account". We recommend contacting us by phone if your changes to your booking or cancellation takes place at short notice (48 hours or less).
