10 tips to save on your Tete car hire

Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by specifying vehicle type and features. Whether you’re looking for an SUV for extra room, a convertible for summer drives, or an economy car for budget-friendly travel, utilize filters on Expedia to discover the perfect match for your journey.
Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it’s wise to secure your car well ahead of your trip. By booking in advance, you’re likely to access lower rates and enjoy better availability, particularly during peak travel seasons.
Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically more affordable to rent and easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-size cars offer a great balance of cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and some vehicle categories—such as SUVs or luxury models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify age requirements before finalizing your booking.
Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional fees. This is usually the most favorable option. Other agreements may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fueling choices, which are acceptable as well, provided you return the car empty in those cases.
Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, though the convenience might justify the cost.
Know your payment options: Many car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
Understand your insurance coverage: Rental car insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provides peace of mind in case something unforeseen occurs during your trip. It’s easy to add car rental insurance when you book through Expedia.
Consider unlimited mileage: If you’re planning long road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra charges.
Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver’s license is necessary to rent a car.

Where can I find a Tete car rental if I am younger than 25?

You'll need to look up the age policy of the Tete rental providers you're interested in. If you're under the age of 25, some companies will charge additional fees. It's better to know this before arriving at the desk so you can plan your budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own terms and conditions for young drivers, so it's smart to do your research.

What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Tete?

It's a good idea to have collision damage protection to cover your Tete car rental against theft, vandalism and accident damage. And with Expedia, you can purchase this insurance for your vehicle during the booking process. Covering primary physical damage of up to $35,000, it also offers 24/7 emergency support and no deductible if you need to make a claim. Plans changed? If you cancel your policy before your scheduled pick-up time, you'll receive a full refund.

Can I drive in Tete with my current driver's license?

If you don't possess a driver's license issued in Mozambique, then you may need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be able to rent a car. You should also be aware that if you do need an IDP, it has no validity on its own. You'll need 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 used to book the rental matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some added requirements to rent a car internationally are:

Age restrictions: You'll need to be at least 25 in many 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 available to rent.
Driving limitations: Make sure you read the rules and regulations before driving away. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or off road with a rental car.
