A national driver's license is acceptable, but you will need a Zanzibar driving permit, which costs approximately $10. We arrange for this permit prior to your arrival.

We provide free delivery to the airport, ferry port, or any location within Zanzibar Town. Additional charges may apply for delivery outside these areas.

The total amount you pay when renting a car through our website includes the car rental fee and the $10 driver’s permit fee, which is mandatory for all foreign drivers in Zanzibar. This ensures compliance with local regulations. Additionally, all our rental cars are fully insured, and we handle all road license requirements for your convenience. Please note that the total amount does not include the Zanzibar Mandatory Travel Insurance, which must be arranged separately by travelers through the Zanzibar Insurance Corporation.

Zanzibar Mandatory Travel Insurance is a requirement for all foreign visitors entering Zanzibar starting October 1, 2024. It provides coverage for emergencies like medical evacuation, repatriation, and other contingencies during your stay (up to 92 days). This is a separate policy and has no connection with car rental or car insurance.
