Suzuki Swift hire in Seychelles
The default island car. Five seats, an automatic gearbox, enough power for the mountain road and small enough for the coast one.
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 Suzuki Swift is actually for.
If you asked a Seychellois to picture a hire car, this is what they would picture. The Swift is everywhere on Mahé for the same reason it is everywhere in India. It is light, it is cheap to run, and nothing about it needs learning.
It matters more than it sounds on the Sans Souci road, which climbs the spine of Mahé in a series of blind hairpins. A small car with an automatic gearbox and adequate brakes is exactly the right tool there. A large one is not.

Asked about the Suzuki Swift, every week.
Can we pick the Suzuki Swift 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 Suzuki Swift 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.
