Road conditions in Africa vary greatly between countries. Some have an extensive network of well-maintained roads, while others struggle with limited infrastructure and challenging terrain. A common factor is that most African countries have paved roads in major towns and cities, while remote locations have large sections of unpaved roads or roads filled with potholes. Roads outside major cities are not properly lit, so driving car rentals in Africa at night might be challenging. When driving your African car rental, watch out for hazards like pedestrians, animals, motorbikes, and auto rickshaws when driving in various parts of Africa.
Traffic is a major issue in most African countries when driving car rentals in Africa, especially in towns and cities. You can encounter traffic any time of the day, but it's often most congested during rush hours in urban areas. Most roads have police officers controlling traffic at major intersections and busy areas to help manage the flow of vehicles. South Africa has the most cities with the heaviest traffic, including Johannesburg, Pretoria, and Cape Town. Other cities with the heaviest traffic include Cairo in Egypt, Nairobi in Kenya, Lagos in Nigeria, and Gaborone in Botswana.
An SUV or four-wheel drive (4WD) is the perfect car rental in Africa because of the increased likelihood of coming across unpaved roads or rugged terrain. If you plan to drive within major cities or towns on the continent, you can opt for any car according to your needs. An economy car is ideal for solo travel, while a minivan rental is perfect for group or family travel.
Multiple car rentals in Africa, including Avis, Europcar, and Keddy, allow cross-border travel into certain African countries within a region. Cross-border travel policies can vary significantly from one rental company to another, so research and understand the policies or regulations of the car rental provider you plan to use. Familiarize yourself with the local driving laws and documentation requirements in the countries you plan to visit.

Should I get a car rental in Africa?

You’re also guaranteed a comfortable trip, especially if you have more luggage. Getting a car rental in Africa lets you explore destinations not well served by public transport. You can drive to popular attractions on the continent, such as Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe and Zambia, the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt, and the Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya.
What is it like driving car rentals in Africa?
Driving in Africa can be quite adventurous and challenging at the same time. Most countries drive on the right-hand side of the road. Few countries, mostly former British colonies, drive on the left side of the road. Driving style and culture vary from country to country, but you should always remain alert, especially when driving Africa car rentals in major towns and cities. Police stops and roadblocks are common in Africa, as authorities use them for various purposes, including document verification, routine safety checks, and regulating traffic flow. Toll roads are also present on most African roads, so confirm if the routes you’ll be using have such roads and research the rates. Speed limits in Africa vary significantly between countries and are posted in kilometers per hour.
How old should I be to get a car rental in Africa?
Most African countries have a minimum driving age of 18. Some Africa car rentals require renters to be at least 21. Some providers have a minimum rental age limit of 25, and renters who have attained the legal driving age but are under 25 may incur a young driver’s fee. You must provide a valid driver’s license from your country to rent a car in Africa. Other requirements include additional identification documents like a passport or photo ID and a credit card from a major provider for payment. An international driving permit (IDP) is necessary, especially when driving in North African and West African countries that don’t have English as their official language.
The rates displayed include all taxes and fees for car rentals for the class listed and were found by KAYAK users in the last 24 hours.
Rentals are subject to change and may not be available on all car rentals listed or dates of travel. Some car rental providers charge additional
