Suzuki Hustler 4WD: Small 4WD Car Rental
from 0 review
Overview
The small 4WD to rent in Seychelles is the Suzuki Hustler 4WD, at €55 per day from SeyBooking.com. It is a four-wheel-drive kei crossover only 1,475 mm wide, with grip control and hill descent control, 180 mm of ground clearance and a 4.6 m turning radius. That combination is what gets you up a steep unsealed villa driveway in the rainy months without renting something the width of the road. Four seats, automatic, two-day minimum, so two days cost €110; one day is charged as two days, €110. Mahé only. Free delivery to Seychelles International Airport, insurance and unlimited mileage included, no credit card held, and a €100 cash deposit at handover that is handed back at return.
Why the Hustler 4WD
This is the four-wheel-drive Suzuki Hustler, and it exists for one specific Seychelles problem: the steep, wet, often unsealed driveway. Half the good villas on Mahé sit above the coast road, reached by a ribbon of concrete or packed earth at an angle that looks unreasonable and is. Add an afternoon of rain in January and a two-wheel-drive car will spin a wheel and stop. The 4WD Hustler sends drive to all four, and adds grip control, which brakes the spinning wheel and pushes torque to the one still holding, and hill descent control, which walks the car down a steep slope at about 7 km/h with your foot off the brake.
Everything else is the Hustler you already want on these islands. It is 1,475 mm wide, the narrowest car we rent, which is what makes Sans Souci, Montagne Posée and the lane to Anse Major relaxing instead of tense. It turns inside a 4.6 m radius, so a single-track hill road does not become a five-point turn. It sits 180 mm off the ground. And at 1,680 mm tall it has headroom for four and a boot deeper than the shape suggests.
The engine is a 658cc three-cylinder with Suzuki’s mild-hybrid assist and a CVT automatic. It is frugal rather than quick, which is the right trade on an island where the fastest you will legally go is 80 km/h on the East Coast Road. If you are staying on the flat, at a hotel with a paved car park, the two-wheel-drive Hustler does the same job for €50 a day and you can keep the €5. If you want a proper ladder-frame 4×4 for the rough tracks, that is the Suzuki Jimny.
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 4WD 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 4WD 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: €55 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 €110; one day is charged as two days, €110. 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 4WD does carry a €100 deposit, paid in cash at handover and handed back in cash when you return the car.
Good to know
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
Yes. The Suzuki Hustler 4WD is a genuine four-wheel drive in a car only 1,475 mm wide, at €55 per day. It has grip control, which brakes a spinning wheel and sends drive to the one still holding, and hill descent control, which walks it down a steep slope at about 7 km/h with your foot off the brake. It is the smallest 4WD in the SeyBooking.com fleet and it is available on Mahé, with a two-day minimum.
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 €55 per day.
€55 per day in 2026. That rate applies from two charged days. Two days cost €110. One day is charged as two days, €110, 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 4WD 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.
Yes. It uses a CVT automatic gearbox, so there is no clutch work on Mahé’s hill roads.
Only sometimes, and it is worth being honest about it. The main roads on Mahé are sealed and a two-wheel-drive car is fine on them. Four-wheel drive earns its €5 a day when your villa is reached by a steep unsealed driveway, or when you are here between November and March and the mountain roads are wet.
Same car, same size, same engine. The 4WD drives all four wheels and adds grip control, which brakes a spinning wheel and sends torque to the one with traction, and hill descent control, which holds about 7 km/h down a steep slope without the brake pedal. It costs €55 a day against €50 for the 2WD.
The Hustler has a two-day minimum on Mahé, billed at €110. One day is charged as two days, €110.
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.
