Useful Information
- Except for the main city centers, parking spaces are offered free of cost. When traveling in main city centers, the parking tickets can be easily purchased at any petrol station; one usually fills out a sheet when one parks – keep that in mind.
- Though you can park almost anywhere in Mauritius when not in cities provided it is not hampering the traffic, we suggest never to park under a coconut tree as they can cause a lot of damage.
- Petrol stations are located at regular intervals within and outside the cities but since many don’t work past midnight, make sure you have a refill before venturing out on late-night trips.
