TL;DR
Taxis in Seychelles can be expensive: a roughly 10–15 minute ride from Avani to Mango reportedly cost US$50. No verified app or taxi contact for last-minute bookings on Mahé or Praslin was provided, so arranging transport in advance is advisable.

A traveler asked about getting a taxi within the next hour on Mahé, but no verified app, dispatch service, or taxi number was shared. Do not rely on an instant pickup unless you have arranged it ahead of time.

The same uncertainty applies on Praslin: the discussion did not provide a verified way to summon a taxi at short notice. For trips between your hotel, beaches, and the ferry jetty, ask your hotel to arrange a car in advance.
