 Zambia Car Rental Mini Guide

If you  need any form of independent transport a rental car is the only viable option as public transport is not as established as in other African nations. Private taxi and transfers are available, however for true independent travel a rental car offers many benefits. 4x4 rentals, trucks and pick-ups (single or double cab) are always popular as road conditions outside of the major towns and cities deteriorate quickly. We work closely with Avis Car Rental in Zambia to offer the highest standards from an internationally accredited car rental agent at prices you'll not find cheaper anywhere.

Getting There
The only direct flights to Zambia from the UK go to Kenneth Kaunda Airport in Lusaka. BA operate a weekly flight to the capital from London Heathrow whilst you can also fly from Amsterdam with KLM. Once in Lusaka, local airlines can connect you with regional airports, the most popular being Livingstone Airport – the entry point for the Victoria Falls. At any of the airports it’s best to hire a car to get around rather than rely on public transport or taxis.
