Everything you need to know before getting behind the wheel in Mahe
In Seychelles, traffic drives on the left side of the road, a legacy of the British colonial era. Traffic laws are enforced throughout the island, especially in tourist areas - speed limits, seatbelts, and alcohol restrictions apply at all times. Your rental car includes all required documentation and insurance.
Free street parking is available in most residential and beach areas across Mahé. Victoria city centre has a designated paid car park near the market and clock tower - fees are modest. Beau Vallon beach has a large free car park just steps from the sand.
Parking near popular beaches like Anse Royale and Grand Anse is generally free but limited on weekends. Always observe local signage - restricted zones are marked with yellow lines. Overnight parking at your hotel is usually included or available for a small fee.
Mahé has a good network of fuel stations operated mainly by Total and Seychelles Petroleum. Main petrol stations are located in Victoria, Beau Vallon, and along the east coast road. Most stations are open 7am-8pm on weekdays, with reduced hours on weekends.
Fuel prices in Seychelles are government-regulated and typically around SCR 15-17 per litre (approximately €1.00-1.10). Petrol types available include unleaded (petrol) and diesel. Fill up before heading into the mountainous interior where roadside stations are sparse.
There are no toll roads in Seychelles - all roads on Mahé are completely free to use, including the main coastal roads, the cross-island road (La Misère), and all routes to popular beaches. This makes car rental in Mahe exceptionally convenient and cost-effective.
Seychelles has a well-maintained road network across Mahé, though many roads are steep and winding in the interior. The main coastal road circles most of the island and provides easy access to all key beaches and attractions. No special permits or vignettes are required.

A wild, unspoilt beach on the southern tip of Mahé - wide golden sand, dramatic surf, and lush granite boulders framed by palm trees. Rated one of the most beautiful beaches in the Indian Ocean and only accessible by car.
A stunning marine protected area on the northwest coast offering exceptional snorkelling and diving among coral reefs teeming with colourful fish. The drive from SEZ along the coastal road is spectacular in itself.
