Car Hire in Mozambique

Decide whether to rent a GPS or use your smartphone for navigation; consider data costs if using mobile.

Always keep your rental agreement, identification, and insurance information easily accessible during your rental period. This can help resolve any issues quickly.

If you have a specific vehicle in mind, opt for rentals that guarantee your chosen car type. This ensures that you receive the vehicle you expect, rather than being offered an alternative.

Consider local weather conditions and seasonal variations that might affect driving, such as snow or rain.

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.

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

Ensure that you have a valid driving licence with at least one year of driving experience. If you are a foreign driver travelling to Mozambique, an international driving permit may be required. Remember, hire rates can be higher for drivers under 25 or over 70

If sharing driving responsibilities, check the policies regarding additional drivers. Some companies charge fees for each extra driver, while others may include it for free under certain conditions.
