We hired a car for two days whilst in Mauritius as we wanted to see some of the island without having to do a full day tour. It was a smooth process requesting and reserving the car with Arvin at RIU Turquoise, he was able to give us a WiFi box so we could use maps whilst driving around. When picking up the car, it was outside our hotel, he thoroughly checked the car with us there, noting any existing damage. Arvin was very knowledgeable about the island, giving us tips where to park in Port Louis and he was able to answer any questions we had. We paid the deposit and fees and off we went. We kept the key overnight and the next morning met Arvin, we went outside together to check the car was ok and that it was filled with petrol and then our full deposit was returned to us.
