Kia Picanto hire in Seychelles
A small automatic with a slightly better ride and a quieter cabin, and one of the few cheap cars we can also put on Praslin.
Your dates, and the real total.
Nothing is charged here and no deposit is held. The four per cent a card adds is shown before you send anything.
What the Kia Picanto is actually for.
The Picanto is the Celerio's more comfortable cousin. Same footprint, same parking advantage, a little more insulation from the road, and five euros a day between them.
The real reason to choose it is the island rule rather than the ride. The Celerio stays on Mahé. The Picanto we can put on Praslin, so if your week is split across the two islands this is the cheapest car that works in both places.

Asked about the Kia Picanto, every week.
Can we pick the Kia Picanto up on Praslin?
Yes. Praslin rentals run to a three-day minimum, because the car has to be positioned on the island for you, and the booking form applies that floor by itself as soon as you choose a Praslin point.
Is the Kia Picanto automatic or manual?
Automatic. Every car in this fleet is automatic except the Mini Moke, and listings that say otherwise are copying a data entry error.
What does one day cost, rather than three?
€65 · ₹7,200 for a single calendar day. From two days the daily rate applies, which is €50 · ₹5,500 a day. The calculator above does this for you.
Do you take a deposit?
No. We do not hold a deposit and we do not take a card number in advance. You pay when the car is handed to you, on the island.
Will my Indian licence do?
Yes. A valid Indian driving licence is accepted in Seychelles. An International Driving Permit is not required. If you happen to hold one already, carry it, but do not delay a trip to get one.
Which side of the road?
The left, with the wheel on the right, exactly as at home. This is the single biggest advantage an Indian traveller has here over a European one. Speed limits are forty kilometres an hour through villages and sixty-five outside them, and they are measured.
Is there a kilometre limit?
No. Unlimited kilometres and insurance are both in the daily rate, and a second driver costs nothing. Put both names on the enquiry.
