Mauritius Airport Transfer Guide 2026

Landing at Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport (SSR / MRU) is the start of your Mauritius trip. This guide explains how to book a private airport transfer, what you pay, what vehicle you need, and exactly what happens from touchdown to hotel.

What is a private airport transfer in Mauritius?

A private transfer is a pre-booked vehicle that takes you directly from SSR / MRU airport to your hotel, resort, villa or Airbnb. You have the vehicle to yourself, the price is fixed before you fly, and the driver meets you inside the arrivals hall with a name board.

Where is SSR / MRU airport?

Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport is the only international airport in Mauritius. It sits near Plaine Magnien in the south-east of the island, about 8 km from Mahebourg and Blue Bay. Most resort areas are 45–80 minutes away. Because the airport is far from the main tourist zones, pre-booking a private airport transfer is the fastest and least stressful way to reach your accommodation.

How to book

Booking takes less than two minutes. Open WhatsApp, send us your flight number, arrival date and time, destination hotel or villa, and the number of passengers. We reply with a fixed price, vehicle recommendation and driver contact. There are no forms, no apps and no advance payment. You pay the driver in cash after the transfer.
