Selected pickup city: Praslin
Praslin is the Seychelles' second-largest island, reached by a roughly 15-minute inter-island flight or a slower ferry from Mahé, and once there a car covers the island's limited but hilly road network far more comfortably than walking between beaches. Vallée de Mai, home to the coco de mer palm, sits inland and is one of the few UNESCO natural sites you can drive right up to. La Digue is a further short boat hop from Praslin's harbour at Baie Sainte Anne.
Vallée de Mai's palm forest, with the distinctive double-lobed coco de mer nut found almost nowhere else on Earth, is the island's signature stop, best visited in the cooler morning hours. Anse Lazio and Anse Georgette, both reached by short but winding roads, are consistently rated among the best beaches in the archipelago. The drive between Praslin's two coasts crosses a low central ridge with limited but real elevation change.
Praslin's road network is compact — a loop around the coast plus a couple of roads crossing the interior — so most drives take well under an hour. Anse Georgette technically requires crossing hotel grounds on foot at the end of the road, so check current access rules before planning a visit there. Ferries to La Digue leave from Baie Sainte Anne on the island's northeast side.
Roads are generally in good condition but narrow in places, with sections through Vallée de Mai's access road unpaved. Fuel stations are limited to a couple of spots, so don't let the tank run low before a day trip across the island.

Praslin is reached from Mahé by ferry or a short flight, and rental cars on the island tend to belong to a smaller, separate fleet from the ones based on Mahé. Compare pickup near the jetty against hotel-area delivery, and don't expect many fuel stations once you're away from the main road.
Availability depends on destination, supplier, selected car and rental dates. Compare these fields on the exact offer before booking.
Some offers may be available without a security deposit. Confirm that the selected car explicitly shows no deposit; do not infer it from insurance or payment method.
Compare the exact amount, currency, how it is held and when it is released. A low deposit is not the same as no deposit.
Check whether the supplier accepts your card type, requires it in the main driver's name and uses it for a deposit or prepayment.
Cash is possible only when the selected supplier and offer say so. Paying cash does not automatically remove a card or deposit requirement.
Review what is included, exclusions and the claims process. Extended protection may affect risk, but it is separate from the security deposit.
Confirm that the deductible or excess is shown as zero and read the exclusions. Zero excess does not necessarily mean zero deposit.

Seychelles drives on the left, like the UK, so most rental cars are right-hand drive. If you're used to the right side, take it slowly on the first day, especially on Praslin's narrower coastal roads.
Some suppliers offer pickup close to the ferry terminal as well as the airport. Confirm the exact point when booking, since it can depend on the ferry schedule from Mahé and the season.
Requirements vary by nationality and by rental company, so check directly with the supplier before travelling rather than assuming your home license is automatically accepted.
