Taxi & Transport Scams in Mahé

SEZ Airport Taxi Overcharge

Taxis at Seychelles International Airport (SEZ) on Mahé operate on a fixed-zone fare system, but many unofficial and even licensed drivers quote two to three times the correct rate to arriving passengers. The legitimate fare from SEZ to Beau Vallon beach is SCR 350–500 (roughly $25–37 USD); to Victoria it is SCR 200–300. Drivers exploit the fact that new arrivals have no local price reference and often feel pressured after a long flight.
