KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Harare

  • Car rentals in Harare, Zimbabwe, are the easiest and most convenient way to explore everything this capital city has to offer. The only type of public transport available in Harare besides taxis are public buses, which can be unreliable and often experience delays. Car rentals in Harare offer a quick and comfortable alternative to public transport, allowing you to explore attractions like the Mukuvisi Woodlands and the Shona Sculpture Gallery on your own time.
  • Those arriving in Harare by plane will land at Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport (HRE). You can pick up your Harare car rentals from here after going through customs to enter Zimbabwe. There are plenty of agencies located directly inside the airport in the arrivals area near baggage claim. You will find agencies like AVIS, Hertz, and more ready to serve you.
  • Driving car rentals in Harare can be a bit of an adjustment for Western drivers. First of all, in Zimbabwe you need to drive on the left-hand side of the road. In addition, roads often have potholes and the local drivers can be aggressive and often disregard traffic laws. You will need to drive defensively and keep a close eye on other drivers and on the road for potential hazards. Driving on rural roads is typically easier, as you won’t encounter much traffic or many pedestrians.
  • Driving in Harare can be somewhat difficult as not all roads are paved and they are not in great condition. Also, there are no designated bus stops for public buses. This means buses may randomly stop on any patch of road, so you will need to be alert and ready to adjust your own driving to avoid hitting them at all times. Finally, traffic lights rarely work correctly, so crowded intersections may be challenging.

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Harare, Zimbabwe?

    Since driving car rentals in Harare can be difficult, you will want to rent a larger vehicle with four-wheel drive, such as an SUV. This is because it will provide better protection from on-road hazards such as potholes, and it can handle rough terrain. It also is less likely that other drivers will try to push you around and overtake you if you are in a larger vehicle. This will also be suitable if you are traveling with a large group or you have a lot of luggage with you.

  • What is the speed limit in Harare?

    The speed limit in Harare can vary depending on the type of road you’re on. For example, speed limits on highways can get up to 120 km/h (75 mph) and on narrow rural roads it can be up to 80 km/h (50 mph). In urban areas, the speed limit can be anywhere from 40 to 80 km/h (25 to 50 mph) depending on the specific location. Always be aware of posted speed limit signs to avoid trouble with traffic authorities and ensure the safety of yourself and other drivers.

  • Where are the best places to park rental cars in Harare?

    Parking in Harare is plentiful in the city center. There are plenty of public lots to choose from, including the NSSA Lot, the City Parking lot on Central Avenue, and the lot on Third Street. Parking charges in the city typically hover around 400 ZWL (approximately 1.20 USD) per hour. Street parking may sometimes be available but is not always a good idea as your car may get damaged by passing drivers on the road. Your accommodation may also provide free parking to guests that you can take advantage of, so it is wise to check in advance.

8.0 Very good

Anonymous, Apr 2024

Overall experience was very positive. Collection was straightforward, I was given a car upgrade (Thank you) and car drove very well. Drop off also straightforward, however customer support attendee could not give me a receipt to show my cash rental payment. Left for my flight not 100% sure if my credit card deposit would be refunded in full. Still pending 4 days on but that’s not to say it won’t be released as up to 7 days. Also no official confirmation email stating rental has ended - just the paperwork from the airport.

The car hire was a simple process, easy to pick up, good car which was very fuel efficient. Drop off was also easy and issues. However, When I returned the car, instead of releasing the hold deposit, Budget witheld almost 400USD because they assumed I had not paid for the car hire (which I had pre-paid before pick up). When they have realised their mistake, they tried tiger the bank to issue the refund but apparently the bank wouldn’t let them. As a result, in order to get my money back I now have to pursue chargeback options through my credit card company because someone just failed to check details. This has made the whole experience dissatisfying and a pain in the butt! For that reason, I am wary to use them again. Perhaps Eurocar would be be a better option.
