It’s worth checking this thoroughly before the departure date to make sure everything is correct.
We recommend printing off your e-ticket and keeping it in your hand luggage. This is because you’ll need to show it to your driver before you set off and it contains emergency phone numbers, should you need to speak to us.
To find out where to meet the driver of your airport transfer in Mauritius, check the ‘Find my pick-up’ section of your e-ticket. It will tell you where you need to go, which may vary depending on the type of transfer you’ve arranged.
Usually, travellers will meet their driver in the arrivals hall. They will be holding a sign either with the travel company’s name, your name or “hoppa”. If you can’t see this information on your e-ticket, please get in touch so we can help.
Can’t see your driver? Don’t panic. Sometimes, our drivers can be a little late if there is heavy traffic. Just call us on the number on your e-ticket and we can give you an update.
Please don’t worry if you’re running behind schedule; we know that unexpected delays happen. Whether your plane landed late, or your suitcase is taking ages in baggage claim, give us a call on the number on your e-ticket and we’ll let your driver know.
Your driver will wait for up to 45 minutes after your scheduled pick-up time. If you’re later than 45 minutes, we’ll send an alternative driver out to pick you up. If you are more than three hours late, contact us to book another Mauritius airport transfer and get in touch with your travel insurer.
