Essential Driver FAQs
Which side of the road do you drive on in Seychelles?
In Seychelles, traffic drives on the left-hand side of the road, and the steering wheel is situated on the right side of the vehicle. Priority is always given to traffic approaching from the right on roundabouts.
Can I take a rental car on the ferry between Mahé, Praslin, and La Digue?
No. Rental vehicles cannot be transported aboard the passenger ferries (Cat Cocos or Cat Rose) or cargo barges between islands. Your rental insurance will be automatically voided if you attempt to board a marine ferry. You must rent separate vehicles on Mahé and Praslin.
What is the biggest driving hazard in Seychelles?
The most dangerous hazards are the deep, uncovered concrete storm drains ('canniveaux') constructed directly flush with the edge of the roadway with no safety barriers. Dropping a wheel into one will cause severe undercarriage and axle damage that is completely excluded from standard insurance coverage.
Are there any toll roads in Seychelles?
There are no toll roads anywhere in the Seychelles. All public highways, mountain passes, and coastal routes across Mahé and Praslin are completely free of tolls.
Is an International Driving Permit (IDP) required to rent a car in Seychelles?
An IDP is not legally required for tourists holding a valid domestic driving license written in English or French using the Latin alphabet. If your national driver's license uses a non-Latin script (such as Cyrillic, Chinese, or Arabic), you must carry an IDP alongside your original national permit.
How does street parking work in Victoria, Mahé?
Street parking in the commercial center of Victoria requires pre-purchased paper parking coupons, which are sold at local post offices, stationery shops, and retail kiosks. You scratch off the date and arrival time and display it on your dashboard. Parking along yellow curbs is strictly prohibited and subject to immediate clamping or fines.
