KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Bulawayo

  • When booking your trip to Bulawayo, in Zimbabwe, keep in mind that it is wise to choose Bulawayo car hire as your transport option of choice, as the public transport is not easily accessible and can be unsafe. There are about five local car hire companies operating in and around Bulawayo, and by booking through KAYAK, you can search for better deals and book your preferred vehicle of choice.
  • Joshua Mqabuko Nkomo International Airport (BUQ), in Bulawayo, is one of three international airports in Zimbabwe. There are no train or bus services from the airport, as public transport is underdeveloped and generally regarded as unsafe, so your wisest choice is to pre-book a car hire in Bulawayo before you travel. There is a choice of around five car hire companies operating at the airport, including Hertz, Avis, Europcar, Budget and Keddy.
  • Make sure you bring your international driver's permit and have it on you while driving. There are many police roadblocks, but as long as you have all the necessities (which the Bulawayo car hire companies provide), you will be fine. The average speed limit is 60 km/h, and they drive on the left-hand side of the road. A general rule for travelling in Africa is to stick to the road rules and be very cautious of bicycles and motorbike travellers on the road.
  • Bulawayo is the second largest city in Zimbabwe; it’s very busy and most of the roads are not in the best condition. It is recommended to not drive after dark due to wildlife on roadways and road hazards like potholes that will be harder to spot at night. In saying that, the main roads are adequately lit, so it depends on where you are driving. If you are doing a long trip, an early start is urged. It is important to be vigilant and keep your valuables out of view and locked in the boot when leaving the vehicle.

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Bulawayo?

    What vehicle you choose to book for car hire in Bulawayo depends on your travel plans. Due to the bad roads, it would be suggested to have some type of SUV that allows you to see the road hazards a bit better; the larger tyres may be a bit more forgiving if you hit a pothole too. If your plans include a trip to one of the nearby game parks, an SUV or 4x4 is suggested. If you are planning on staying in the city and not travelling far, then you could get a medium-sized car. Make sure you receive a fire extinguisher, high-visibility vests and emergency triangles when using car hire in Bulawayo, as you will definitely be asked for them at any police roadblock, which is common.

  • What’s the speed limit in Bulawayo?

    The general speed limit in town is 60 km/h, and on the national road that links Harare and Bulawayo (the A5 highway), the speed limit ranges from 80 km/h to 120 km/h. It is very common to go through police roadblocks, as these are used to deter speeding and check vehicles are working properly. Always be polite and have your international driver's permit with you. The police may search the car to check you have the necessary fire extinguisher, emergency triangle and reflector vest, and as long as you have all the specific requirements, you should breeze through all the checks with no concerns.

  • Where are the best places to park in Bulawayo?

    Parking in the city and walking around the centre is a great way to explore some of the sights of the colonial era, with views of Art Deco and Bauhaus architecture. Parking at prime parking zones by major supermarkets, restaurants and food zones does have parking fees, so keep that in mind when planning your outing. The streets are wide and are relatively safe to walk around during the day.
