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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and specific features. Whether you’re looking for an SUV for extra space, a convertible for summer fun, or an economy car to save money, utilize the filters on Expedia to discover the best option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it's advisable to secure your car well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you’re more likely to obtain lower rates and better availability, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller cars are typically less expensive to rent and easier to navigate in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain types of vehicles—such as SUVs or premium models—may not be available. This can also apply to renters over 70. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require a full-to-full fuel policy, which means you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is generally the most favorable option. Other policies may include full-to-empty or prepaid fueling, which can also be acceptable. Just remember to return the car empty in that case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: There’s often an additional fee for picking up your rental car at airports, but this may be justified for the added convenience it provides.
  7. Know your payment options: Most car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and offers peace of mind in case something unforeseen occurs during your trip. Adding car rental insurance is simple when you book through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning extensive road trips, look for 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.

You'll need to look into the age policy of the Kitwe rental providers you're interested in. If you're under the age of 25, be mindful that some will charge additional costs. It's best to know about this before arriving at the desk so you can have the funds ready. Every rental car company has its own rules for younger drivers, so it's smart to do your research.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Kitwe?
A thorough insurance policy is a smart choice for your upcoming Kitwe adventure. That's why we recommend adding collision protection while booking your car rental with Expedia. This insures your vehicle against theft, accident damage and vandalism. Some destinations may also require a minimum level of liability insurance. It's possible that this is included in your rental cost or your own auto insurance, so check what you're covered for and whether you need it.
Can I drive in Kitwe with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in Zambia, then it's likely you'll need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence in order to rent a car. You should also note that if you do need an IDP, it has no validity on its own. You'll need to show your current license your passport and other forms of ID as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card used to book the rental matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some other requirements for international car rentals are:
  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be at least 25 in most countries 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: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before you drive away. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or go off-roading with a rental car.
