Marcel Hoareau
Founder & Manager
Cote d'Or, Praslin
Rental and transfer desks on Mahe, 2012-2019
Marcel grew up between Baie Sainte Anne and Cote d'Or and spent seven years working arrival desks on Mahe before coming home to start 4Drive. His idea was simple: visitors to Praslin should get their keys in minutes, not queue at a counter. He still confirms most bookings himself.
Nadia Payet
Airport & Jetty Lead
Praslin Island Airport & Baie Sainte Anne
With 4Drive since 2021
Nadia is usually the first face you see: she meets the Mahe flights at Praslin Island Airport and the Cat Cocos ferry at the jetty, walks you to the car and gets the paperwork done in about ten minutes. She tracks every arrival, so a delayed flight or a missed ferry never means a cancelled pickup.
Kevin Adeline
Vehicle Care
Grand Anse, Praslin
Mechanic by trade, with 4Drive since 2022
Kevin checks every car between rentals against a fixed list: brakes, tyres, lights, air conditioning, cleanliness. Salt air and hill starts are hard on cars, and he is the reason ours feel newer than their plates suggest. If a car does not pass his check, it does not go out.
