How the estimate is worked out
Taxis in Mauritius don't use meters: the fare is agreed with the driver before the trip. The estimator gives a realistic range, not a fixed price.
Road distances come from OpenStreetMap routing (OSRM) between town centres. The typical fare is Rs 150 plus Rs 30 per km, at least Rs 250. The range runs from 80% to 125% of that, rounded to Rs 50. Driving times allow for traffic.
Trips between the airport and a place on the official list use the official airport fare. For other places the airport fare is estimated from the official list (about Rs 695 plus Rs 40.5 per km).
The rates were checked against these published quotes:
