Top tips for renting a car in Mozambique

  • If you’re looking for the perfect way to explore Mozambique, consider renting a vehicle from Mozambique car rentals. You’ll comfortably travel to different parts of the southern African nation that can’t be accessed by public transport. Start your trip in the capital, Maputo, by exploring popular landmarks and attractions in the city, or head north to Tofo, a laid-back beach destination popular among surfers, divers, and beach lovers.
  • If you’re visiting Mozambique, you’ll fly into Maputo International Airport. Avis and Hertz have rental desks on site. Other local and international car rental companies have locations in downtown Maputo and other parts of the country. You’ll find rental vehicles in cities like Beira, Pemba, Nampula, and Quelimane. Remember to carry all the required rental documents before heading to the car rental desks and choose a provider with a convenient drop-off and pickup location.
  • Driving in Mozambique can be easy and challenging at the same time because road conditions are generally reasonable. Major towns and cities like Maputo have well-paved roads compared to those in rural areas. Most secondary roads are also good but not up to these standards. Popular tourist areas like Maputo to Vilankulo may be affected by harsh weather conditions like rain. Driving at night is not recommended on roads outside Maputo and other main towns since there are no streetlights here.
  • The type of car to rent in Mozambique depends on the terrain you’ll drive through. Most roads are accessible by any car. A four-wheel drive is generally the best vehicle option if you’re visiting different parts of Mozambique. It is suitable for driving in and out of the major cities since you can explore more routes across Mozambique. Car rentals in Mozambique come in a selection of vehicles matching your needs.
  • Book your rental car in Mozambique at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
