Car Rental in Zambia

Make sure you know which type of fuel your rental car uses to avoid costly mistakes at the pump.

Before driving away from Zambia , thoroughly inspect the car for any damage. Document any existing damage with photos or video to avoid disputes later on.

When renting a car, understand the fuel policy. A 'Full-to-Full' policy means you return the car with a full tank, while 'Same-to-Same' means you return it with the same level of fuel. Full-to-Full is often more cost-effective.

Some rentals may have mileage caps. Check the details to avoid extra fees if you exceed limits.

Many car rental deals in Zambia require a credit card for the deposit. If you only have a debit card, use our website's filter to find options that accommodate it or consider getting a credit card. Make sure the main driver’s card is used to prevent any extra charges.

Before renting a car, check if your personal car insurance covers rental losses. Many personal auto insurance policies and credit cards offer coverage for rentals, which could save you from extra insurance fees.

Before booking, review the rental agreement for any hidden fees such as airport surcharges, additional driver fees, or late return penalties. Understanding these can help you budget more effectively.

In Zambia, car rental options are billed on a daily basis. Renting for over 24 hours will incur a charge for an additional day, so be sure to plan your rental duration to avoid extra costs.
