KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Lusaka

  • Car rentals in Lusaka offer flexibility and convenience by allowing easy exploration of the city. Unlike public transport, Lusaka rental cars offer privacy and the ability to navigate on your schedule. With a car, you can efficiently visit attractions like the Lusaka National Museum, Levy Mwanawasa Stadium, Kalimba Reptile Park and the vibrant markets. Car rentals in Lusaka provide accessibility to distant destinations like the Kabwata Cultural Village and Freedom Statue, optimizing your travel experience.
  • When looking for car rentals in Lusaka airport, it's important to book in advance for availability. Lusaka has one major airport, Kenneth Kaunda International Airport (LUN) with two rental car offices, one in the Arrivals Concourse and one in the Departures Concourse. There is no airport shuttle to the rental car offices so you will need to walk. The two rental companies are Avis and Europcar. The rental car offices operate from 7 am to 10 pm daily. All you need to rent a car is your driver's license, passport and credit card.
  • When driving in Lusaka car rentals, you should be cautious of pedestrians, including jaywalkers, who may erratically step onto the road. Local road protocol can be less structured, so be prepared for sudden pedestrian movements and be patient. Many drivers in Lusaka don't use their turn signals so it's important to use yours to let other drivers know what you're doing. Stay alert, especially near markets or busy areas, and drive defensively. Adhering to lower speeds in urban zones and maintaining heightened awareness will help you navigate safely through the city's traffic dynamics.
  • Navigating Lusaka during rush hours, primarily 7-9 am and 5-7 pm on weekdays can be challenging due to heavy traffic congestion and construction zones. Major roads like Great East Road, Kafue Road and Lumumba-Ndola Dual Carriageway are often affected. The city experiences heightened traffic during the rainy season (November to April) when roads become slippery and visibility decreases.
  • Book your rental car in Lusaka at least 5 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Mini rental cars in Lusaka are around 38% cheaper than other car types, on average
