Tips for Hiring a Car and Driving in Africa

 

  • Check Local Driving Laws: Familiarize yourself with the driving laws and regulations of the country you are visiting. Rules can vary significantly between countries.

  • Vehicle Inspection: Always inspect the car for any existing damage before driving off. Take photos and report any issues to the rental company to avoid disputes later.

  • Understand Insurance Coverage: Ensure you understand what is included in your rental insurance and consider purchasing additional coverage if necessary for extra peace of mind.

  • Carry Essential Documents: Always have your driver's license, rental agreement, insurance documents, passport, and an International Driving Permit (if required) with you.

  • Road Conditions: Be prepared for varying road conditions, from well-maintained highways to rough rural roads. A 4x4 vehicle may be necessary for certain terrains.

  • Fuel Stations: Plan your fuel stops, especially in remote areas where gas stations may be sparse. Always keep your tank topped up when possible.

  • Navigation: Use a reliable GPS or navigation app, and have a physical map as a backup in case of connectivity issues.

  • Safety First: Always wear your seatbelt, follow speed limits, and be cautious of local driving habits. Avoid driving at night in unfamiliar areas.

  • Local Wildlife: In rural and safari areas, watch out for wildlife on the roads. Drive slowly and be prepared to stop suddenly.

  • Emergency Contacts: Keep a list of emergency contact numbers, including the car rental company’s support line, local emergency services, and roadside assistance.

  • Respect Local Customs: Be mindful of local customs and cultural practices, especially when driving through rural villages and communities.

  • Parking: Use secure parking facilities whenever possible, and avoid leaving valuables visible in the car to prevent theft.

  • Avoiding Scams: Be cautious of unofficial car rental agencies and scams. Always book through reputable companies like Rhino Car Hire.

  • Plan Your Route: Plan your journey in advance, including rest stops and overnight accommodations if traveling long distances.

  • Understand Toll Systems: Be aware of any toll roads and how to pay for them. Keep some local currency handy for this purpose.
