Car Rentals in Lusaka

You may be visiting Zambia and wondering if you can take your Lusaka car rentals out of the country. However, the car rental locations in Lusaka offered through momondo don’t specifically allow any borders to be crossed. For example, if you book car rentals in Lusaka with InterRent, they explicitly indicate in their terms and conditions that crossing the borders with their vehicles is prohibited. However, Europcar and its budget brand Keddy don’t specify whether or not entering a neighboring country is allowed. In this case, we recommend contacting the branch directly to confirm if crossing borders is allowed with their vehicles and what documentation you may need.

For those visiting Lusaka and the rest of Zambia who wish to pay for their economy car rental by other means than a credit card, it may be possible to make the payment at the end of your renting period with cash. Avis, for example, may allow this at some of its branches. Nonetheless, we suggest you confirm beforehand that this is an option as well as what documentation you may be required to present. On the other hand, the remaining car rentals in Lusaka require you to have a credit card in the same name as the person on the car rental reservation. The types of credit cards accepted are mainly Visa and MasterCard. Make sure you have all your documentation and payment methods ready for when you pick up your vehicle. The agency may also block a security deposit amount on your credit card until the end of your renting period.

Check beforehand with your car rental agency just in case they specifically require you to present an International Driver’s Permit along with your foreign driver’s license. If so, you must obtain the International Driver’s License in your country of origin, you can’t get it once you’re already in Zambia. On top of this, the IDP must always be accompanied by your original driver’s license as it is just a translation.
