Car rental in Victoria

Victoria, a vibrant city sat snugly on the eastern coast of Mahé island, offers a unique blend of Seychellois culture and British colonial history. As the smallest African capital, it's easy to navigate and filled with fascinating attractions.

Driving in Victoria

Getting on the road in the Seychelles is much like driving in the UK - cars drive on the left-hand side. The speed limit is generally 40-50km/h in town areas and 65-80km/h on the open road. Bear in mind that roads can be narrow and winding, so take it easy and enjoy the scenery.

Where to Park

Parking in Victoria is relatively straightforward. Paid car parks are plentiful in the city centre. For hassle-free parking, consider dropping your car off at the central Market Street car park or at the seaport.

Must-Visit Attractions

We recommend making the most of your hired car by visiting the nearby attractions. Don't miss out on The Seychelles National Botanical Gardens, the vibrant Sir Selwyn-Clarke Market, and the iconic Clock Tower, a replica of the Little Ben from London.

Exploring the Beaches

Use your rental car to discover some of the Seychelles’ best beaches, just a stone's throw away from Victoria. Beau Vallon, Anse Royale and Port Launay are all easily accessible and each offers a unique beach experience.

Eating out in Victoria

Victoria offers a rich assortment of restaurants serving traditional Creole cuisine alongside international offerings. Remember to drive to the local fish market for the freshest catch of the day!

Convenience in Currency

The Seychelles uses the Seychelles Rupee, but don't worry, most establishments in Victoria accept credit cards and there are numerous ATMs around the city in case you need cash.

Climate Consideration

The Seychelles has a tropical climate, so it's warm throughout the year. However, if you prefer less humid conditions, consider visiting Victoria between May and October.

Festivals and Events

Plan your visit to coincide with the vibrant cultural festivals like the Creole Festival or the Carnival of Victoria. These events give tourists a unique insight into the rich culture and traditions of the Seychelles.

Embark on an unforgettable journey through Victoria in the convenience and comfort of your own hired car. Take in the natural beauty, immerse yourself in the culture and experience the true essence of the Seychelles. Get ready for an island adventure like no other!
