FAQ about Zanzibar Car rental
Why should I rent a car in Zanzibar instead of using transfer?
Renting a car offers freedom, flexibility, and cost efficiency — especially for travelers planning multiple excursions. Transfer can be expensive for long distances, while a rental gives you unlimited mobility for one daily rate. If you still prefer transfer over car rental, you can book transfer here.
Do I need a Zanzibar driving permit?
Yes. The Zanzibar government requires a temporary local driving permit for all foreign drivers. We can arrange it quickly on your behalf; you’ll just need your original license and passport copy.
Can I rent a car with a driver (chauffeur)?
Absolutely. We offer professional, English-speaking chauffeurs who are experienced, polite, and knowledgeable about local attractions, routes, and culture.
Is self-drive safe in Zanzibar?
Yes, Zanzibar roads are generally safe, but always drive carefully and avoid night travel outside main areas. We provide safety guidelines, GPS, and 24/7 support to assist you at any time.
What are the payment methods?
We accept cash (USD, TZS, EUR), major cards, and mobile money (M-Pesa, Tigo Pesa, Airtel Money). A small refundable deposit may be required.
Do you offer long-term rentals?
Yes. We provide discounted weekly and monthly rates for extended stays. Perfect for digital nomads or business travelers.
Do you provide group or private tours?
Yes, we organize both. Whether you prefer joining a small group or enjoying a fully private experience, we’ll make it happen — from solo travelers to honeymooners or families.
Is Zanzibar safe for travelers?
Yes, Zanzibar is one of the safest and friendliest destinations in East Africa. Our guides and drivers prioritize your comfort and security at all times. We also recommend standard travel precautions, like safeguarding personal belongings.
