Hello Everyone,

I am moving over to Mauritius to live in November.
I come from South Africa and my company is moving me over there on a work visa. I work for a digital learning company and my partner is a senior construction manager and in design and build.

I am hoping to get some help around where to find short term rentals to get on our feet. Best international movers to use for a few boxes. Where do I find reasonable car hire.

I would really appreciate the help.

Thanks so much!

Kind regards

Michelle

Hello Michelle, welcome on board!  :)

For a start, you might want to use the intregrated tool to request quotes from Expat.Com partners : https://www.expat.com/en/movers/africa/mauritius/

For short term accommodation, you can use these platforms :

- Housing in Mauritius

- https://www.lexpressproperty.com/en/rent-mauritius/

- https://weshare.mu/

You will find lots of information on the forum itself by scroling through the threads and members will definitely share their personal experience with you.

All the very best for your move,
Anou

Try www.ayaviva.com, best deals on rentals I've seen. What's nice lots of them don't charge the agents fee. Cause in MUR rental people want Rent   Dep   Agents fee. So prepair yourself for high rental fee first month.
