Kia Picanto: Economy Automatic Car Rental
from 15 reviews
Overview
Why the Picanto
The Kia Picanto is the rental most first-time visitors choose. It is a fully automatic, five-door hatchback that seats four in comfort, small enough to thread Mahé’s narrow coastal roads and park outside every beach, yet roomy enough for a couple’s luggage or a small family’s essentials. The Picanto is cleaned and mechanically checked before it reaches you, with air-conditioning, a Bluetooth touchscreen and modern safety features.
It suits anyone who wants an easy, no-fuss way to get around rather than a project to drive. Fuel use is low at 5 to 6 litres per 100km, parking is simple from Beau Vallon to Port Launay, and the automatic gearbox means no clutch work on Mahé’s steeper hill roads. If you need something larger for a group or more luggage, the same fleet includes the Suzuki Brezza and Toyota Urban Cruiser.

What guests say
The rental experience our guests get on the ground, from car condition to airport and jetty pickup and support.
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 team was very helpful and always available for any questions or concerns. Clean car, excellent condition, and quick paperwork. Highly recommended.
Renting a car through the website was very simple and practical. On both Mahé and Praslin islands, the cars were handed over to us in spotless condition, and we had no issues at all during the return process. A very reliable company.
