Car Hire in Botswana

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

If you plan to share driving, check if the rental company allows a second driver and whether there are additional fees. Some companies offer free second driver options under certain conditions.

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

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

Select a car that fits your needs in terms of size and type, especially if you're traveling with luggage or a group.

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.

Before returning the vehicle, clarify the return procedures with the rental company. Knowing where to drop off the car and any required inspections can streamline the process.

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
