Uber Mauritius: The Worst Ride-Hailing Experience in the World
After extensive testing and countless failed attempts, we can confidently say that Uber in Mauritius is a complete disaster. This 2025 review covers everything wrong with the service.
Our Testing Results
We attempted to book 20 Uber rides across different locations in Mauritius. The results were shocking:
- 18 out of 20 rides failed - Drivers either never showed or cancelled
- Average wait time: 45+ minutes - Before giving up
- Success rate: 10% - And those rides had issues too
Why Uber Fails in Mauritius
The fundamental problem is that Uber drivers in Mauritius have found ways to exploit the system:
- Accept rides to block other drivers, then ignore passengers
- Wait for surge pricing before actually picking up
- Demand cash payments outside the app
- Target tourists who don't know local alternatives
What Other Tourists Say
TripAdvisor, Reddit, and travel forums are filled with identical complaints. This isn't an isolated issue—it's the standard Uber experience in Mauritius.
Our Verdict: 0/10 - Do Not Use
We cannot recommend Uber in Mauritius under any circumstances. The service is broken, the drivers are unaccountable, and your time is better spent with literally any other transportation option.
