Rates and Conditions for Car Hire in Seychelles

Pirates Car Hire's daily rental rates are inclusive of unlimited kilometres and third party insurance.

 

Pirates Car Hire recommend taking Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) which covers the hirer in case of an accident. The CDW option will limit the hirer's liability to Euro 1500 only. If no CDW is taken, then the Hirer is liable for the full damage to the vehicle. 

 

What do I need to hire a car in the Seychelles:

1.    You need to be over 23 years of age and have at least 3 years driving experience.


2.    A valid driving licence.


3.    Pirates’ car hire accepts Visa, Master Card, Cash or Travellers Cheques for payment.

 

Top tips to be aware of when hiring a car in Seychelles:


1.    We do warn all drivers in the Seychelles not to park under coconut tree as the coconuts do fall from the trees!


2.    We also ask for understanding and patience when driving as you never know if the Seychelles Giant tortoise has the road ahead in mind to cross over, and they will do this in their own island time. No hooting or else they take to their shells and you are made to wait for longer. And if you think you can move the tortoise off the road, while good luck, you best have a heavy weight belt in power lifting.


3.    Sunshine in Seychelles can cause suntans - Wear sun tan cream even when driving and try to take turns with your co driver or else you will have one arm more tanned than the other.


4.    GPS are not recommended for your holiday in the Seychelles- when you get to the Seychelles Islands you will understand why? Rather bring your camera. However instead of a GPS we offer you top places to visit on Mahe.
