Top tips for renting a car in Zambia

  • Getting Zambia car rentals enhances the flexibility of your travel schedule as you won’t have to adhere to public transport timetables or wait for taxis. A rental car in Zambia is also good for those on a budget as it can be more cost-effective, especially if your rental period is for several days or longer.
  • If you are traveling with young kids, you should now that while child safety rules are yet to be standardized, it’s considered acceptable for children younger than 12 to be in child seats. You should contact your car rental company prior to booking to ensure that it can provide you with a booster seat.
  • While there are some paved roads in Zambia, the majority of roads are comprised of gravel and dirt so are not in the best condition. The road quality tends to decrease as you get farther away from populated cities, too. When you get Zambia car rentals, we recommend getting an SUV, as these are often four-wheel drive (4 x 4). This means you’ll be able to drive in the countryside on a range of terrains.
  • When you get a rental car in Zambia, you might want cross the border into one of eight neighboring countries, such as Mozambique or Malawi. If this is the case, then you should inform your car rental company before you do so because; if it’s permitted, you’ll have to pay a surcharge. This means a cross-border policy will be added to your booking so your car is insured in the countries you plan to visit. It’s also important that you familiarize yourself with the road rules of any country you plan to visit, as they will vary from Zambia’s road laws. You might also need different documentation once you cross the border.
