How to Rent a Car in Zanzibar
Renting a car in Zanzibar is one of the best ways to explore the island freely and comfortably. Whether you’re visiting for a few days or planning a long stay, Zan Pleasure Car Rental & Tours makes the process simple, fast, and stress-free. Here’s a quick guide on how to rent a car in Zanzibar.
🚗 1. Choose the Right Car for Your Trip
Think about your travel plans. If you’re staying mostly in Stone Town, a compact car works perfectly. For exploring beaches and remote areas, a 4×4 or SUV is a better choice. Zan Pleasure offers a wide range of vehicles — all air-conditioned, fully insured, and well-maintained.
📝 2. Have the Required Documents Ready
To rent a car in Zanzibar, you’ll need:
- A valid driver’s license from your home country
- A Zanzibar driving permit (we can help you get one easily)
- A passport or ID for identification
Our team can assist you in obtaining the temporary local driving permit — a quick process that usually takes less than 30 minutes.
📅 3. Book in Advance
Reserve your car before you arrive to guarantee availability and better rates. You can contact us online, via WhatsApp, or directly at our office. Early bookings also allow you to request specific models or add-ons like child seats or GPS.
💳 4. Confirm Rental Terms
We offer flexible rental options — daily, weekly, or monthly — with transparent pricing and no hidden charges. All vehicles come with full insurance coverage and 24/7 roadside assistance.
📍 5. Pick Up or Request Delivery
You can collect your car from Abeid Amani Karume International Airport, our Stone Town office, or have it delivered to your hotel or villa anywhere on the island — at no extra cost (within selected areas).
🕒 6. Enjoy Hassle-Free Driving
Once you’re on the road, you’re free to explore Zanzibar at your own pace — from the spice farms and Jozani Forest to the breathtaking beaches of Nungwi and Paje.
🛞 7. Return Made Easy
When your trip is over, simply drop the car off at the agreed location or schedule a pickup. We’ll handle the rest quickly and efficiently.
✨ Zan Pleasure Car Rental & Tours makes car rental in Zanzibar effortless — giving you the freedom to discover the island your way, safely and affordably.
