Car Rental in Tanzania

Most rental companies will require a credit card for the deposit, which is typically frozen in your account. Make sure to inquire about the specific deposit amount and the policy for releasing the freeze.

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

Research any local driving restrictions, such as tolls, road types, and restricted zones, to avoid fines.

Many car rental deals in Tanzania 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.

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.

Familiarize yourself with local traffic patterns, peak hours, and driving etiquette to navigate more safely.

Before finalising your car rental in Tanzania, make sure to confirm the drop-off location with your provider. This will help you save time and prevent any misunderstandings at the end of your car rental period.

When booking, check if the rental company offers extras such as GPS or child seats. These can enhance your driving experience but may incur additional costs, so it's wise to factor them into your budget.
