Taxis & Rideshare in Port Louis (2026) - Grab, Uber & More

Port Louis relies almost entirely on its network of metered taxis for point-to-point rides. There is no Grab or other international rideshare platform operating in the city. Taxis are easy to spot, look for the yellow "TAXI" roof sign and the small taxi plate on the front bumper, and they queue at clearly marked stands outside Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam (SSR) International Airport, the Caudan Waterfront, Victoria Bus Terminal, and the Central Market. To hail one on the street, simply raise your hand. If the driver is free, he will stop. Most drivers speak basic English or French, and the vehicle will have a working meter, although you can agree on a fixed fare before starting if you prefer certainty. Choose a taxi when you value door-to-door comfort, have luggage, or are traveling late at night when buses have stopped running. Taxis are typically two-to-three times the price of a bus ride for the same distance, so budget travelers often combine a bus for the long leg with a short taxi hop at the end. For airport transfers, pre-booking through your hotel or the taxi stand inside the arrivals hall guarantees a car and saves queuing. Otherwise, walk to the official taxi rank outside the terminal.
