First is the cheapest company at Mauritius Airport for an Intermediate car over the last 12 months, averaging $53 a day, but you need a credit card and it does not yet have enough reviews for a score. First's desk is at the airport, with a typical $315 deposit and a 15-minute wait, so allow that time when planning your pickup. If you prefer a company with a review score, compare Mauriconnect Car Rental, which scores 81/100 from 47 reviews. Its desk wait averages 25 minutes and its typical deposit is $1,129, so check both the quote and your available credit before choosing it.

The cheapest company can cost you a longer queue or a bigger deposit, so check the review score and desk wait beside each car in the results before you book.
