The cost of renting a car in Tanzania ranges between 60$ and 200$ and this variation depends on several factors such as the quality of the car, the model of the car, the route plan and the number of days that you are planning to spend on your Tanzania safari. Let us look at those and more in this article.
The type of car you will be using on the adventure
The different type of cars varies in prices ranging from 60$ per day for the small cars such as RAV4 without a driver to 200$ per day for cars such as Land cruisers still without a driver. In case one is interested is renting a car with a driver, the prices will range from 120$ for the small cars to 250$ for the large cars.
Place of departure and nature of rental
If one requires the car to be dropped off at a different location quite far away from the cities, you will incur some charges for this vehicle drop and in case you would also want a one-way car rental, a cost is incurred for picking up the car from where it will be after the rental period is over.
Rental period
While renting a car in Tanzania, the rental period also determines the price of a car per day. Longer rental periods usually come with discounted prices making their cost per day cheaper while there are no discounts on short rental periods hence their cost per day is more expensive. This is since shorter rentals are con
Time of year of travel
Car rental prices in Tanzania are usually cheaper during the low seasons. This season runs from the month of April to May and November to mid-December. The cheapest month to rent a car in Tanzania however is the month of May.
Since the car rental prices are less in the low seasons, the reverse is true for the high season. The months of June through to October are high seasons therefore car rental prices are higher however these prices peak in the month of January.
Travel itinerary
If one is renting a car to visit one of the protected areas in Tanzania with rugged, unpaved and rutted roads such as Ngorongoro crater or Serengeti due to the wear and tear caused by these roads, the prices charged for car hire is a bit higher than if one is planning to drive through the cities and the nearby small towns.
Booking time
If you book a car at the last minute, it will cost you a lot more compared to if it’s booked in advance. This is due to the fact that, last minute booking more so in the peak season is related with the scarcity in the car availability.
Rental Company
Renting a car from an experienced, larger and more established company will guarantee you a friendlier price on the car rental per day. This is because, such people have set the standard price and are familiar with the roads and the route plan. Therefore, they are not gambling about the prices.
