Suzuki Hustler 2WD: Small Automatic Car Rental
from 0 review
Overview
The smallest automatic car you can rent in Seychelles is the Suzuki Hustler 2WD, at €50 per day from SeyBooking.com. It is 1,475 mm wide, turns inside a 4.6 m radius and sits 180 mm off the ground, which is what makes the single-lane hill roads on Mahé manageable. It seats four, is automatic, and has a two-day minimum rental, so two days cost €100; one day is charged as two days, €100. Mahé only. Insurance, unlimited mileage and airport or hotel delivery are included in the price, and no credit card is held. A €100 cash deposit is paid at handover and handed back at return.
Why the Hustler 2WD
The Suzuki Hustler is a Japanese kei crossover, and the useful thing about it is not the styling. It is the width. At 1,475 mm across it is the narrowest car we rent, and on Mahé that matters more than power. The climb over Sans Souci, the road up to Montagne Posée, the lane down towards Anse Major, the villa driveways cut into the hillside above Beau Vallon: these are single strips of concrete with a stone drain on one side and a drop on the other, and a bus coming the other way. A car that is 1.47 m wide, turns inside a 4.6 m radius and sits 180 mm off the ground turns those roads from an ordeal into a drive.
Underneath is a 658cc three-cylinder with Suzuki’s mild-hybrid assist and a CVT automatic. It is rated 24.3 km/L, about 4.1 litres per 100 km, on Japan’s WLTC cycle, so a week of exploring costs very little in fuel. It is not fast and it is not pretending to be. What it is, is tall: 1,680 mm of boxy body means real headroom for four and a boot that swallows more than the shape suggests.
This is the two-wheel-drive version at €50 a day. If your villa sits up an unsealed hill track, or you are here in the rainy months and plan on the mountain roads, the four-wheel-drive Hustler is €55 a day and adds grip control and hill descent control. If you need five seats or a bigger boot, look at the Suzuki Swift or the Brezza SUV.
The Hustler is available on Mahé only, and it has a two-day minimum rental. It also carries a €100 cash deposit, paid at handover and handed back at return. Everything else is the same as the rest of the fleet: no credit card held, insurance and unlimited mileage included, and free delivery to the airport or your hotel.
Picking the Hustler 2WD up at the airport
Car rental at Seychelles International Airport works differently here than it does in Europe. There is no rental desk to queue at in arrivals and no airport surcharge on the rate. We bring the Hustler 2WD to Seychelles International Airport (SEZ) on Mahé, hand over the keys and the paperwork, and you drive out. Delivery and collection are free, at any hour, and if your flight is delayed the car waits, because we watch the arrival rather than the booking time.
The rate is the rate: €50 per day in 2026, insurance and unlimited mileage included, an additional driver at no charge, and free cancellation. The two-day minimum applies here, so two days cost €100; one day is charged as two days, €100. There is no credit card held against the booking, which is the part most visitors ask about first, because most international rental companies block several hundred euro on a card before they release a car. We do not. You pay cash or card when the car reaches you. The Hustler 2WD does carry a €100 deposit, paid in cash at handover and handed back in cash when you return the car.

What guests say
The rental experience our guests get on the ground, from car condition to airport and jetty pickup and support.
Renting a car through the website was very simple and practical. On Mahé, the car was handed over to us in spotless condition, and we had no issues at all during the return process. A very reliable company.
The whole process was smooth from start to finish. The car was clean, reliable, and perfect for exploring the island. The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and responsive whenever we needed anything. Pick-up and drop-off were easy, and the prices were very reasonable compared to others we checked.
The support over WhatsApp is exceptional. Cars are clean and in very good condition. We had the car dropped off right at the airport terminal, so no taxi or bus for the transfer. Pay cash or card on arrival. Easy, fast, perfect.
Questions guests ask
The Suzuki Hustler 2WD, at €50 per day. At 1,475 mm across it is the narrowest car in the SeyBooking.com fleet, it turns inside a 4.6 m radius and it seats four. That combination is what makes the single-lane hill roads on Mahé, and the villa driveways off them, straightforward rather than tense. It has a two-day minimum rental and is available on Mahé only.
Yes, and there is no charge for it. We deliver to Seychelles International Airport (SEZ) on Mahé free of charge and meet you after you clear arrivals, so there is no rental counter to queue at and no airport surcharge added to the €50 per day.
€50 per day in 2026. That rate applies from two charged days. Two days cost €100. One day is charged as two days, €100, with the one-day checkbox. The price includes insurance, unlimited mileage, an additional driver, free cancellation and free delivery. There is no credit card held and no booking fee, so the figure you are quoted is the figure you pay. A €100 cash deposit is paid at handover and handed back when you return the car.
No credit card, and nothing is held on a card. The Hustler 2WD does carry a €100 deposit, paid in cash when the car is handed over and handed back in cash when you return it. You pay the rental in cash or by card on delivery, and insurance and unlimited mileage are already in the daily rate.
Automatic. The Hustler uses a CVT automatic gearbox, so there is no clutch work on Mahé’s hill roads.
The 2WD drives the front wheels and costs €50 a day. The 4WD drives all four, adds grip control and hill descent control, and costs €55 a day. Take the 2WD for the coast road, Victoria and normal hotel driveways. Take the 4WD if your villa is up an unsealed hill track or you are travelling in the rainy months.
The Hustler has a two-day minimum on Mahé, billed at €100. One day is charged as two days, €100.
No. The Hustler is available on Mahé only. For Praslin we have a separate fleet, and cars are not rented on La Digue at all.
With the rear seats slid forward, one large hard-shell suitcase, two medium suitcases and a full backpack fit in the boot together. That is a photograph of one of our own cars at the airport, not a brochure figure.
It seats four and it is genuinely tall inside, so headroom is not the problem. Luggage is. Four adults with hand luggage is comfortable. Four adults with four large suitcases is not, and you should take the Swift or the Brezza instead.
