10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Kafue

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search based on vehicle type and desired features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer fun, or an economy car for budget-friendly travel, utilize the filters on Expedia to identify the best option for your trip.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary significantly depending on demand, so it's advisable to reserve your vehicle well in advance of your trip. By booking early, you're more likely to secure lower rates and better availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller cars are typically less expensive to rent and easier to maneuver in crowded areas. Mid-size options strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and certain vehicle types—such as SUVs or luxury models—might not be available. This could also apply to renters over 70. Always verify the age restrictions before making a reservation.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require a full-to-full fuel policy, which means you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is usually the most favorable option. Other policies may allow for full-to-empty or prepaid fueling options, which are also acceptable. Just remember to return the car empty in this case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but it may be worthwhile for the added convenience.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies accept only credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unnecessary expenses and provides peace of mind in case something unexpected occurs during your trip. It's simple to add rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan on taking long road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.

What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Kafue?
Start your road trip on the right foot by purchasing Expedia's collision damage protection. While there are many types of car rental insurance, this is one you'll need to have.

Opt in to collision protection while booking your Kafue ride with Expedia and save money and time.
Can I drive in Kafue with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in Zambia, then you may need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be allowed to rent a car. Also consider that if an IDP is required, it has no validity on its own. You'll need to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card used to book the rental matches the name on your license and passport. Some additional requirements to rent a car internationally are:
  • Age restrictions: You need to be at least 25 in most countries to rent a car. If you're younger than that, it may still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to the types of cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before sliding behind the wheel. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with a rental car.
