Renting a Car In Seychelles - Your Guide To The Car Rentals in Seychelles

Seychelles is a small archipelago comprising numerous stunning islands. These islands are connected to each other by buses, boats or domestic flights. The public transport in Seychelles is limited to the main islands like Praslin and Mahe. Also, most buses drop you at the main road from where the beaches are a long walk away. So, it is very easy and convenient to hire a self-drive in Seychelles and drive around the scattered beaches. An international driving permit is not required for driving in Seychelles. A valid driver's license is enough to hire and drive a car. The minimum driving age in Seychelles is 21 years.
