We have just moved here and still finding our feet with everything and looking to rent a car for around Rs8000pm I know that price is very low but we can guarantee we would rent it for a year minimum and will take anything in any condition 馃榿 we have just moved here from South Africa (my fianc茅 and I) and we are still figuring it all with the big move and our new jobs.
If anyone has something in that price range or knows of anyone willing to rent their car, we would be so greatful.

Many thanks

Renting a car in mauritius is between 700 to 5000 roupies per day.

So the best option is to buy a car

Which is a better choice

@Kyle de klerk

Hello,

welcome. I can try to help you.

But the price per month is very very low. I would propose Rs10000/month.

we can discuss more if you want.

Please reply.

Car Rental prices definitely have risen I received the following quotes for long term rental:

Renault Duster (2017)聽 聽Rs 24 000 per month

Hyundai Grand i10 / Toyota Passo / Nissan March (Micra) / Kia Picanto (all automatic)聽 聽 聽Rs 20 000 - 21 0000 per month

this works out to Rs 700 per day

standard insurance is included but you have to pay a deductible of Rs 25 000 in the event of an accident

Gold cover insurance with a Zero deductible adds Rs 5000 per month to your cost

Calculations showing it is less (a lot) expensive to buy a car than to lease or rent it:

High mileage example:

a 2012 Nissan March with 150 000 km on the odometer

engine & drivetrain: 1190 cc Petrol automatic

body type: 5-door hatchback

price Rs 275 000 (negotiable)

monthly repayment: Rs 2018 (estimated)

to RENT this car is Rs 21 000 per month (estimated)

to LEASE this same car requires a 15% deposit = Rs 41 250 and a repayment of Rs 5 646 per month over 4 years.

Lower mileage example:

this 2018 Nissan March with 18 000 km on the odometer

engine & drivetrain: 1190 cc Petrol automatic

body type: 5-door hatchback

price Rs 495 000

monthly repayment: from Rs 3633

to RENT this car is Rs 21 000 per month (nearly 6 times as much as the repayment if you purchase) and then the rental car will most likely have much higher kilometres on the odo / show much more wear and tear.

to LEASE this same car requires a 15% deposit = Rs 74 250 and a repayment of Rs 10 105 per month over 4 years.

3 more examples of the Buy < Lease < Rent equation based on @Vanessa2909 's Hyundai i10 rental above:

High mileage example:

this Oct 2014 Hyundai i10 with 150 000 km on the odometer

engine & drivetrain: 1086 cc Petrol manual

body type: 5-door hatchback

price Rs 155 000

+ Rs 9800 registration fees + Rs 300 other fees

monthly repayment: Rs 1137 (estimated)

to RENT this car is Rs 14 600 per month (estimated)

to LEASE this same car requires a 15% deposit = Rs 23 250 and a repayment of Rs 3 174 per month over 4 years.

Medium mileage example:

this 2015 Hyundai Grand i10 with 123 045 km on the odometer

engine & drivetrain: 1.2 Litre Petrol manual

body type: 5-door hatchback

price Rs 300 000 (negotiable)

monthly repayment: from Rs 2201

to RENT this car is Rs 14 600 per month (estimated)

to LEASE this same car requires a 15% deposit = Rs 45 000 and a repayment of Rs 6 180 per month over 4 years.

Low mileage example:

this 2022 Hyundai i10 with just 6800 km on the odometer

engine & drivetrain: 998 cc Petrol automatic

body type: 5-door hatchback

price Rs 635 000

+ Rs 13 000 registration fees + Rs 300 other fees

monthly repayment: Rs 6880 (estimated)聽 聽 聽 聽

to RENT this car is Rs 14 600 per month (estimated)

to LEASE this same car requires a 15% deposit = Rs 95 250 and a repayment of Rs 13 062 per month over 4 years.

in this low-mileage example, the monthly Leasing fee comes close to the Rental fee (but if you rent, you will most probably receive a higher-mileage car showing more wear and tear).

** I have used R14 600 per month as the Rental in all 3 examples, which is not really accurate, but when you rent you are not able to choose which specific car you get and how high its mileage is. (R14600 is the amount given higher up in this thread to rent a similar Hyundai i10).
