Car Hire in Tanzania

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

Before booking, check for any promotional offers or discounts that may be available. Many rental companies provide seasonal deals or discounts for early bookings.

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

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, hire rates can be higher for drivers under 25 or over 70

Before booking a car hire in Tanzania, carefully examine the terms from suppliers like GREEN MOTION, Cargini, and ABBYCAR. Focus on details such as payment card requirements, deposits, cross-border travel rules, and driving licence specifications to avoid unexpected issues.

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

When renting a car, especially after travelling by train, allocate extra time for pickup to account for possible delays. Most car hire companies offer a 30-60 minute grace period. Sharing your train number can be helpful, but if you're running late, be sure to contact the car hire provider to let them know.

If you're looking for more comfort or features, inquire about upgrade options at the rental desk. Sometimes, upgrades are offered at a discounted rate at pickup.
