Suzuki S-Presso: Automatic Car Rental on Praslin
from 0 review
Overview
The Suzuki S-Presso is the easy little automatic to rent on Praslin, at €50 per day from SeyBooking.com. A tall five-door with a high seat, 180 mm of ground clearance and a 240-litre boot, it is built for Praslin’s narrow coast road and steep driveways. Free delivery to Praslin airport, the Baie Sainte Anne jetty or your hotel, insurance and unlimited mileage included, no deposit and no credit card held. Praslin rentals have a three-day minimum: three days is €150.
Why the S-Presso
The S-Presso is the car for two people who want Praslin without fuss. It sits tall and upright, like a small SUV that forgot to grow, so you climb in rather than drop down, and you see over the bends on the road from Grand Anse to Anse Volbert. 180 mm of ground clearance means the steep, broken driveways up to the guesthouses on the hills are not a worry.
Under the bonnet is a 1.0-litre three-cylinder with an automated gearbox: two pedals, no clutch, and very light on fuel. Praslin is about 12 km end to end, so a tank lasts most of a week. The boot takes 240 litres, enough for two cabin cases and the beach bags, and the rear seat folds when the suitcases are bigger.
It sits at the bottom of our Praslin line-up with the Hyundai Grand i10 and the Kia Picanto at €45, and below the Suzuki Fronx at €50 and the Suzuki Wagon R at €55. Pick the S-Presso if you like sitting high and want the most visibility for the money.
This car is automatic, air-conditioned and checked before it reaches you. There is no deposit, no credit card held, insurance and unlimited mileage are in the rate, and delivery is free on Praslin.
Picking the S-Presso up on Praslin
Most visitors reach Praslin by the Cat Cocos ferry from Mahé or a 15-minute Air Seychelles hop. Either way the S-Presso is waiting: we deliver it free to the Baie Sainte Anne jetty, Praslin airport (PRI) or your hotel or villa, hand over the keys and the paperwork, and you drive out. There is no rental desk to queue at, and if the ferry or flight runs late the car waits.
The rate is the rate: €50 per day in 2026, insurance and unlimited mileage included, an additional driver at no charge, and free cancellation. Praslin rentals have a three-day minimum, so the shortest rental is €150. There is no deposit and no credit card held, and you pay cash or card when the car reaches you. The car stays on Praslin: no car crosses between the islands, so if you are also staying on Mahé, that is a second rental there. See every Praslin car and price on our Praslin car rental page.

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.
