Accepted Answer

There are a couple of driving laws you should remember while driving your car hire in Madagascar. You will be driving on the right-hand side of the road. When you are sitting in the front seat of the car, it's compulsory to wear a seat belt, but when you are in the rear seat, it's not compulsory to wear a seat belt. We recommend that you always buckle up for your own safety, even when it's not compulsory. The blood alcohol limit for driving in Madagascar is 80 mg per 100 ml. If you need to take phone calls while driving in your car hire, you should rent a car with hands-free software installed. To drive in Madagascar, you need to be at least 18 years old, however, you must be over 23 to rent a car. Madagascar has no specific rules for child safety, but it is advised that you take all the usual precautions when you have young children in your car. There are no toll roads to look out for in Madagascar.

Question 14

What are the legal and documentation requirements for renting a car in Madagascar?

Accepted Answer

Anyone driving rental cars in Madagascar will need to bring an up-to-date driving licence. It is recommended that you also have an international drivers permit; however, it is not compulsory. This permit may also help you rent a car within the country if you have not already booked one before you arrive. When you hire rental cars in Madagascar, we highly recommend that you get third-party insurance in case there is an issue with your rental car while you are on holiday. Remember that only those 23 and older can use car hire in Madagascar. If you are younger than 25, you will need to pay for young drivers insurance, which is an additional insurance policy covering drivers with less experience.

Question 15

Which areas of Madagascar have the most traffic?

Accepted Answer

Madagascar is not a country known for its heavy traffic; however, traffic is something you need to look out for in the capital city Antananarivo. While traffic during rush hour time is expected, Antananarivo has other things you need to watch out for. The streets in the capital are often slim and winding, which can cause accidents. Many people travel using bicycles and animal carts; so look out for these too. The city is filled with one-way streets, and unfortunately, a lot of the signage is poor. We recommend that you get a local guide to help you around the city or get a GPS installed by one of the car rental companies. Driving is relatively slow throughout the rest of the country, which makes accidents with other cars a rare occasion. It is good to note that if you are planning on travelling through the country, many of the roads are not sealed and are made from gravel. Car hire companies in Madagascar would recommend that you rent a car that is good off-road if you plan on driving outside of the central city.

Question 16

What are the best scenic roads in Madagascar?

Accepted Answer

Car hire in Madagascar is a great idea if you plan to drive down the many scenic roads within the country. Madagascar has one main highway called the RN7. This highway goes through the capital city, all the way to the bottom of the country. On this trip, you will go through rainforests, winding roads, and highland villages. This road gives you a view of the whole country right from your rental car. Many scenic roads are right next to the ocean. For example, if you take the RN11a, you get a beautiful ocean view while still being on a well-maintained road. Car hire in Madagascar is a great option all year round, as all the seasons in Madagascar have spectacular views and a relatively warm climate.

Question 17

When did momondo last update prices for cars in Madagascar?

Accepted Answer

Question 18

How many operators does momondo search for cars in Madagascar?

Accepted Answer

As of April 2025, there are 13 operators available to choose from for cars in Madagascar.

Question 19

How old do you have to be to hire a car in Madagascar?

Accepted Answer

Among different countries, including Madagascar, the minimum age for drivers varies. In numerous EU countries, drivers must be 18 years old. To hire a car overseas, you'll generally need to be at least 21, and if you're under 25, a young driver surcharge may be imposed. It's recommended that you review the policy of the rental company you're considering before booking.

Question 20

What documentation or ID do you need to rent a car in Madagascar?

Accepted Answer

To rent a car in Madagascar, all drivers must present a valid full driving license. If the license is written in a language other than the language of the country of rental, an International Driving Permit may be required to avoid the risk of potential fines. If you're renting a car abroad, you may also need to provide evidence of your return travel and accommodation information during your stay. We always recommend that you verify with the specific rental company you're booking with.
