What affects the price of an airport transfer in Mauritius?

Distance: the airport is in the south-east, so the far north (Grand Baie, Cap Malheureux) and far south-west (Le Morne) cost more than nearby Mahebourg or Blue Bay.
Vehicle size: a sedan suits up to three passengers with luggage. Larger groups or lots of bags need a minivan or minibus.
Time of day: a small supplement can apply for pickups between midnight and 5:00 AM, which we confirm in your quote before you book.
Return trips: booking arrival and departure together gives the best price.

Private transfer or shared shuttle: which is cheaper?

A shared shuttle sells seats, so the headline price looks lower for a solo traveller. A private transfer is priced per vehicle, so for two or more people the cost per person is usually similar, and you go straight to your accommodation with no extra drop-offs. If you are travelling alone on a tight budget, compare both. For couples, families and groups, a private car is normally the better value.
