Car Hire in Botswana

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.

Select a pickup location that is convenient for you. Some rental companies offer locations within the airport for quick access, while others may require shuttle transportation.

Confirm whether the rental includes roadside assistance for breakdowns or emergencies during your trip.

Some rental agreements come with mileage limits, while others offer unlimited mileage. Make sure to review the mileage policy to avoid unexpected fees.

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

Some rental companies offer a free tank of fuel with your rental. Be sure to understand the terms, including how much fuel you need to return the car with and any potential fees for not meeting these conditions.

Before finalizing your booking, check if the rental company offers free cancellation. This can provide peace of mind if your travel plans change unexpectedly.

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