Praslin rewards travellers who can move at their own pace. Public transport on the island is limited and infrequent, and the beaches, restaurants and viewpoints worth seeing - from Anse Lazio to Côte d'Or - are spread across the island rather than clustered in one town. If you rent a car in Praslin, you can chase the best light at Anse Georgette in the morning, linger over lunch in Grand Anse, and still be back for a sunset walk without waiting on a taxi or a shared shuttle.

Car hire in Praslin also removes the guesswork around bus timetables, which can run infrequently outside peak tourist hours. For families, couples or small groups, a rental car is usually the more comfortable and often more affordable option once taxi fares are added up over a week.
