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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle types and specific features. Whether you require an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economy car for budget-friendly travel, utilize the filters on Expedia to identify the best option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so reserving your car well ahead of your trip is advisable. By booking in advance, you’re likely to secure better rates and enjoy a wider selection, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars are typically less expensive to rent and easier to maneuver in crowded areas. Mid-size options offer a nice balance of affordability, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or luxury models—might not be available. This age restriction can also apply to renters over 70. Always verify age requirements prior to booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements stipulate a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional fees. This is generally the most favorable option. Others might offer full-to-empty or prepaid fuel arrangements, which are acceptable as well; just ensure you return the car empty in that case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: You may incur a surcharge for picking up your rental car at the airport, but the convenience could make it worthwhile.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provides additional peace of mind in case of unforeseen incidents during your trip. It's easy to add insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you’re planning extensive road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is essential for renting a car.

If you don't possess a driver's license issued in Tanzania, then you may need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be allowed to rent a car.

Lastly, make sure the credit card used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your driver's license and passport. A few other things to note to rent a car internationally are:
  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in most places 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 vehicles you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before you drive away. You typically can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with a rental vehicle.
