Private transfers from Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport
Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International, known as SSR or simply Mauritius Airport, is where international flights to the main island land. It sits at Plaine Magnien in the south-east, close to Mahébourg and Blue Bay, so most resorts are between about 15 minutes and an hour and a half away by road.
We run fixed-price transfers to Belle Mare on the east coast and Grand Baie in the north, and quote any address on the island: Trou d’Eau Douce, Poste de Flacq, Flic en Flac, Le Morne, Bel Ombre or Port Louis. The M1 motorway starts just outside the terminal, and your driver knows when the coast road is the better choice. With one price for the whole vehicle, families and groups pay for the car, not per seat.
Arriving at Mauritius Airport: where to meet your driver
SSR International has one passenger terminal. After immigration and health checks, take the escalator down to baggage reclaim, then clear customs into the Tour Operators and Hotels Hall, where the resort and tour operator desks are. Your driver meets you with a name sign as you leave that hall, where friends and family greet arriving passengers. Golf bags and other oversize items arrive on the out-of-gauge belt beside belt 1.
