Toyota Urban Cruiser hire in Seychelles

The same money as the Fronx with a hybrid drivetrain, which on stop-start island roads means it drinks less than most of the small cars.

How it drives

What the Toyota Urban Cruiser is actually for.

Seychelles driving is exactly the pattern a hybrid was designed for. Nothing here is a motorway. It is a slow coast road with a village every few minutes, and the electric side of the drivetrain does most of that work.

Fuel is not cheap on the islands and there are not many stations outside Victoria and the airport road. A car that goes further between them is a quieter holiday.

The numbers

The whole spec sheet.

It suits families of four who would rather not think about the fuel gauge.

Questions about this car

Asked about the Toyota Urban Cruiser, every week.

Can we pick the Toyota Urban Cruiser 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 Toyota Urban Cruiser 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?

€75 · ₹8,200 for a single calendar day. From two days the daily rate applies, which is €65 · ₹7,200 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.
