Question 12

Does Zimbabwe have any unique traffic laws?

Accepted Answer

People drive on the left in Zimbabwe and there are speed limits on all roads, usually half time lower in urban areas than in the countryside. The police have the right to stop drivers to inspect their papers and vehicle, and potentially to impose on-the-spot fines, including on drivers of rental cars. This means you should double-check that your rental car has all the mandatory equipment before driving off on a Zimbabwean adventure. The traffic laws stipulate that cars should have two reflective breakdown triangles, a fire extinguisher, white reflectors on the front of the vehicle and red reflectors at the rear, plus a hi-vis vest for each person travelling. There are also laws covering official motorcades. All drivers need to pull over to the side of the road and remain stationary while motorcades pass in either direction.

Question 13

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

Accepted Answer

Look closely at your car hire company’s website to be sure you know what documentation they require. As a minimum, Zimbabwean rental car providers will ask to see a valid passport, a full driving licence and an accompanying international driving licence, an approved credit card and a printout of your booking confirmation. They may also require a printout of the insurance policy you've selected. Car rental companies have their own lower and upper age limits for renters. Typically drivers have to be aged between 22 and 80 to rent a car, although one of the car hire companies specifies an age range of 25 to 90 years old. Don’t forget to click through to the full T&Cs as there may be extra costs involved, for example, an additional young driver/senior driver fee.

Question 14

Which areas of Zimbabwe have the most traffic?

Accepted Answer

Roads in towns and cities feel busy in Zimbabwe because of the concentration of pedestrians, animals, hawkers, bicycles and scooters, shared minibuses, cars and lorries all jostling for space to move and sounding their horns. The busiest trunk road is probably the A3 highway between the capital, Harare, and Bulawayo, Zimbabwe’s second city. A lot of visitors to Zimbabwe want to see the fabled Victoria Falls on the border with Zambia, so the A8 leading northwards up to the Falls is also a busy road. On the opposite side of the country, at the southern border with South Africa, are the Beitbridge border crossings, almost always busy and generating large amounts of traffic, including heavy lorries. The traffic can back up and cause queues on roads such as the A4 and A6, which converge on the crossing point.

Question 15

When did momondo last update prices for cars in Zimbabwe?

Accepted Answer

Prices for cars in Zimbabwe are updated daily.

Question 16

How many operators does momondo search for cars in Zimbabwe?

Accepted Answer

Question 17

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

Accepted Answer

Among different countries, including Zimbabwe, 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 18

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

Accepted Answer

All drivers must have a valid full driving license when renting a car in Zimbabwe. If the license is written in a different language from the country of rental, an International Driving Permit may be required to avoid the risk of potential fines. If you're renting a car overseas, you may also need to provide proof of return travel and accommodation information during your stay. It is always advisable to check with the individual rental company you're booking with.
