Why Nicko Car Hire

Pickup that actually shows up.

A local desk you can reach. Name board at SEZ, keys in the car park, a number that answers. Prices, cars, hours — no theatre.

01
Meet the flight, not the queue

Name board at SEZ arrivals. Desk 07:00–22:00. If your flight is from 05:00, we can still deliver. Last pickup 22:00.

02
The rate on the card is the rate you pay

Unlimited kilometres, no deposit, free second driver. Child seat or booster €10 a day. Excess reduction €10 a day if you want it.

03
Sized for Mahé, not a German autobahn

Compact cars and small SUVs for Sans Souci hairpins, Victoria roundabouts and the south-coast beaches the bus does not reach.

Driving Mahé

Left side. Low limits.
Granite, not motorways.

The island is small. The roads are not. Read this once before you collect the keys.

Drive on the leftRight-hand-drive cars. Overtake on the right. Give way at unmarked junctions the British way.
40 / 65 / 80 km/hTowns 40. Open roads 65. The east-coast highway towards the airport is signed 80 in places. There are no motorways.
Licence & age21+, licence held about two years, passport at pickup. An IDP helps if your licence is not in English or French.
Fuel & nightFill in Victoria or on the east coast before a south-coast day. Rural roads are poorly lit — take hairpins slowly after dark.
Cars stay on MahéFerries to Praslin and La Digue do not take hire cars. Return this car, then hire again on the next island if you need one.
Never under coconutsLocal rule, not folklore. Photograph the car at pickup. Seatbelts for everyone. Hands-free only. BAC limit 0.08%.

FAQ

The questions people ask at SEZ.

What is included in the daily rate?

Unlimited kilometres, automatic, air-conditioning, third-party insurance, a free second driver and no deposit. Airport or hotel delivery is arranged when you book. Child seat or booster is €10 a day. Stay 6–10 days and the daily rate drops €5; 11 days and over, €8.

Do I need a deposit or a credit card?

No deposit. Pay on delivery.

What does the insurance cover?

Third-party only. If the accident is not your fault, you pay nothing. If it is your fault and the car is a write-off, you pay an excess of €2,000 and insurance pays the rest. Scratches and other damage are not covered — you pay the garage quotation or spare parts. You can cut the excess to €1,500 for €10 extra per day.

What are your hours?

Where do I meet you at the airport?

After baggage and customs, look for the Nicko name board in the arrivals hall. The car is in the terminal car park. If the aircraft is late, message WhatsApp from the gate.

How do I book?

Pick dates, choose a class, send the request on WhatsApp +248 251 6165 or email rent@nickocarhire.sc. No account. Child seat, booster or excess reduction can be added in the same message.

We rented a car here for 9 days. They met us at the airport, and we returned the car to the airport. Picking up and returning the car was quick, easy, and straightforward. Cash payment, no deposit required. The car was in excellent condition, everything worked perfectly. We had a wonderful drive around the island. Definitely recommend!

We hired our rental car through our hotel. It was delivered and picked up from that hotel on time. All very straightforward and very efficient. I would recommend!

Communication was very easy and correct. All the staff were very friendly. The car was in fantastic condition and we would rent a car from this company again anytime.

Me and my wife rented a car twice for 2 days while on Mahe. Everything went smoothly and the communication with Sandra was just great and really quick — from handover to dropoff. Car was clean and worked great all the time. Definitely can only recommend for rental during a visit to Mahe.
