Car
Given the number of traffic snarls, it’s not worth trying to drive around Port Louis. Day-trippers are advised to leave their car in one of the car parks in the waterfront complex. These are open from 7am to 11pm and cost Rs 25 for the first four hours plus Rs 25 for each additional hour.
Cars can be parked on the street for a maximum of two hours at a time in any one place and the appropriate number of parking coupons, available at any filling station, must be displayed on the dashboard.
Local transport
Taxi
Expect to pay around Rs 50 to Rs 100 for a short taxi ride across town, and slightly more at night. As usual, always agree to a price beforehand. It’s best to avoid using taxis during morning and evening rush hours, when you’ll probably end up just sitting in a traffic jam.
