Seychelles airport car hire collection takes place on Mahé, where the airport offers the widest choice of vehicles. The rental company provides the arrangements for your booking. Its contact details arrive by email after the reservation is completed.
Where does airport collection take place?
Seychelles airport car hire uses Seychelles International Airport as the collection area. The company responsible for the car supplies the meeting instructions, including the place and appointment for that reservation.
Airport collection is one option on Mahé. The Mahé and Victoria searches also include delivery offers from some companies, and Cat Cocos ferry pickup exists on Mahé. These suit rentals starting later in a stay or after a ferry arrival. The Mahé car hire page explains the alternatives.
Praslin has a small separate pool of cars for collection on that island. La Digue has none through this search. Each rental vehicle must remain on its home island.
What happens if the flight changes?
A revised collection appointment requires coordination with the rental company. The booking rules treat failure to arrive at the booked place and time without prior coordination as a late cancellation, with the advance retained.
The contact number entered at booking must include its country code and remain reachable the day before pickup and throughout the hire. This gives the company a way to reach the renter about the collection or the car during the rental.
The confirmation email contains the rental company’s contact details. The company handles questions about the vehicle and the service, including changes to the agreed handover.
Which driving documents are required?
Collection requires an original national driving licence with details repeated in Latin script. It must remain valid through the last day of the hire. Copies and electronic licences are excluded under the country terms.
Where a national licence is valid only in its issuing country, the terms strongly recommend an International Driving Permit, presented on request alongside the national licence.
Minimum age and driving experience are shown for each car and can vary between similar models. The rental agent can refuse service when the driver falls outside those requirements. The pre-travel driver checks bring the document, age and experience conditions together.
What is payable at the handover?
The advance paid online is 15 to 20 percent of the total hire price. The rest of the rental amount is paid to the agent when the car is collected. Any security deposit is a separate requirement shown for the chosen car.
A required credit card must be physical, embossed and in the main driver’s name. Debit-card acceptance is stated during booking and in the voucher. An accepted debit card must be physical, personalised, embossed and issued in the main driver’s name.
The payment and deposit requirements describe the distinction between the advance, balance and security deposit. The selected offer supplies the amounts and accepted payment methods for the booking.
What are the fuel and return conditions?
The fuel level at collection sets the level required at return. A lower level is charged at the rental company’s rates, while a higher level receives no compensation. A car returned so dirty that inspection is hindered incurs a washing charge.
The minimum chargeable period is 24 hours, with a further part-day charged as a full day. Extending the hire requires advance notice to the agent. The return arrangements belong to the booking agreed with that company.
Which conditions apply after leaving the airport?
Traffic drives on the left, and hire cars are restricted to paved public roads on their home island. Mahé’s mountain routes include narrow winding sections and hairpin bends. Heavy rain can quickly affect visibility and road conditions.
Standard insurance excludes wheel, undercarriage, windscreen and interior damage. An insured event requires immediate notification to the agent and a police report, except as otherwise agreed with the agent. The insurance exclusions and incident procedure explain the cover and reporting conditions.
Before you choose
Is there a single meeting point for every booking?
The rental company provides the meeting arrangements for each reservation. Its contact details are supplied in the confirmation email.
What if my flight changes?
A changed appointment needs coordination with the rental company. Failure to arrive without prior coordination is treated as a late cancellation under the booking rules.
Can I show my licence on my phone?
The original valid national licence is required, with details in Latin script. Copies and electronic licences are excluded.
Is the advance the only money to prepare?
The balance of the rental price is payable at collection. A security deposit and a particular physical card may also be required by the selected offer.
