Collect your car at Seychelles International Airport (SEZ) and start exploring within minutes of landing.

With a rental car and additional insurance, you travel with confidence. Our platform compares prices from local rental companies, ensuring you get a cheap price with full coverage. No deposit required, no credit card needed. Pay by debit card or for cash at pickup. Free cancellation up to 24 hours before pickup for a guaranteed model at a great price.

local_parking

Parking in Seychelles

Parking in Victoria (the capital) and at popular beaches can be limited, particularly on weekends and public holidays. Most car parks in Victoria town centre are free, with time restrictions during business hours. At beaches such as Beau Vallon and Anse Intendance, informal roadside parking is the norm.

There are no parking meters in Seychelles. Roadside signs indicate any restrictions. Be careful not to block private driveways or narrow beach access tracks - cars parked on coastal roads can be ticketed during peak tourist season.

local_gas_station

Gas Stations in Seychelles

Fuel stations on Mahé are operated primarily by Seypec (the national petroleum company). The main stations are located in Victoria, Beau Vallon, Anse aux Pins (near SEZ Airport) and along the east coast road. Fuel prices are government-regulated and relatively stable.

Current fuel prices: unleaded petrol (91 octane) approx. SCR 20–22/litre (approx. €1.35–1.50), diesel approx. SCR 18–20/litre. Most stations are open 7 days a week from 07:00 to 21:00. Only a few 24-hour stations exist - fill up before heading to remote areas.

toll

Toll Roads in Seychelles

There are no toll roads in Seychelles. All roads on Mahé, Praslin and La Digue are free to use for all vehicles. The main route on Mahé is the coastal road circling the island, supplemented by the mountain crossroads connecting the east and west coasts.

The Sans Soucis mountain road (linking Victoria to the west coast via Morne Seychellois National Park) is a popular scenic drive but is very narrow and steep in sections. Drive slowly and yield to oncoming traffic on the hairpin bends. No charge applies for this or any other road.
