KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Maun

  • A cheap car hire in Maun will provide you with flexibility and freedom to explore the region at your own pace. Some of the top attractions in Maun, such as the Nhabe Museum, the Kuru Art Project and the Crocodile Farm and Wildlife Sanctuary, are more accessible if visitors have a car. Moreover, public transport options in Maun are limited, and taxis can be expensive, especially for long distances. Therefore, having a Maun car hire can save time and money, especially for those planning to visit remote areas or national parks.
  • There are several major car hire companies that operate at Maun International Airport (MUB), including Europcar, Avis, Budget, Hertz and Thrifty. Their offices are located inside the terminal building, near the exit doors. Visitors can easily spot the car hire counters as they walk out of the Baggage Claim area. It's recommended to make a reservation for Maun car hire at the airport in advance, especially during peak season, to ensure availability and competitive rates.
  • Driving in a cheap car hire in Maun, Botswana, requires adherence to certain rules and road signs. Traffic flows on the left side of the road, and all drivers must have a valid driving licence to operate a vehicle, including those using Maun car hire. Additionally, there are many animals that cross the road, especially at night, so it is essential to drive cautiously and be aware of the surroundings. When driving in areas with wildlife, one must watch out for grazing animals that may be on or very close to the road.
  • There is no significant rush hour traffic in Maun, but traffic congestion occurs during peak travel seasons or when there are events in the city. Additionally, during the rainy season, which is mainly from November to February, the roads can become muddy and slippery, making driving an affordable hire car in Maun a bit more challenging. Some roads leading to remote areas and rural villages can also be rough and difficult to traverse, particularly during the rainy season.
