Car Rental Stone Town

Stone Town is full of fun adventures, but don't restrict yourself to just the one place. Grab a set of wheels and hit the open road to explore the wider region. Here are some great options we've come up with:

• Head off to Dar es Salaam for a fun-filled sightseeing experience. About 45 miles from Stone Town, it's home to tons of great attractions such as Coco Beach.
• Around 75 miles away, Tanga is also a favorite with travelers. Allow time to experience Urithi Tanga Museum while you're here. It's one of the reasons people love visiting this buzzing city.
• Venture into nature and inhale the fresh air at Mkomazi National Park. You'll find it about 160 miles from Stone Town.

If you don't possess a driver's license issued in Tanzania, then it's likely you'll need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be able to rent a car. Also consider that if you do need an IDP, it won't be valid on its own. You'll have to show your driver's license from your home country your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your license and passport. A few other things to note to rent a car internationally are:

• Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or over in most places to rent a car. If you're younger than that, it might 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 vehicles you can rent.
• Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before sliding behind the wheel. With rental cars, you usually can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on off-road areas with a rental car.
