er their budget first .Car
rental prices in Victoria
falls range from $250-
$1000.There are a varie-
ty of options for it to
suite your budget.Most
people argue that rent-

sites like Rentalcars.co.z
a and many other be-
low .These give
you options which una-
vailable in Zimba-

after that $1.50 per kilo-
meter .In most cases
some South African
rental companies
can also give you an
option to pick the car at
Harare international
airport or Victoria falls

cuss on at a later stage.

and cons.To effectively bring a car into Zimbabwe one needs to
bring the following documentation and comply to the following

are a Zimbabweans citizen resident outside Zimba-
bwe you need to provide proof inform of a valid per-
mit ,endorsed passport and immigration and stamp
allocating the days to remain in Zimbabwe .Make
sure that the vehicle is out of Zimbabwe as allocated
on the temporary import permit. Failing to comply will
attract a minimum of US400 or vehicle is impounded
or both .To some people this process is tiresome and
confusing hence they opt for other options

This is one of
the options
mostly done by
people who
may want to al-
so tour places
in South Afri-
ca ,Botswana
and Zam-
bia.This howev-
er ,may depend
on
the company 's
policies and
regulations.In

vantages

panies facili-

of greater help .It has it's
own disadvantages ,in most
cases if not well calculated it
can present a lot of challenges

expenses and many oth-
er .Moreover ,when choosing a
rental car company be cau-
tious of the terms they offer

els offered include
hyndai au-
tos.Europcar has of-
fices in Victoria falls
airport terminal it
opens from Monday
to Sunday.You can
rent a car upon arri-
val at the airport but
this often presents
some inconveniences
like getting expensive
cars,finding no avail-
able car and many
other challenges.We advice visitors to pre
book cars online this gives them plenty of op-
tions to look at.It gives you time to look for
good deals and deals that suite you.
Booking your car online serves you from
headaches because Victoria falls is a small
town and booking offices are relatively small
hence physical booking upon arrival will not
be guaranteed ,hence pre booking is better
it serves 25% money and time.
Although the country
is considered to have
the most expensive
rental cars in the
world .Renting a car
in Zimbabwe can
serve time and some-
times it can be
cheaper and conven-
ient .The popular

Requirements for online car rental in Victoria

forms.Companies will need your driver's license ,valid
credit card and additional proof of identity [such as

minal.They offer a range of cars including Chevrolet
aveo,Hyundai 120 etc.There are also other compa-

OTHER OPTIONS OTHER THAN RENTING A CAR
IN VICTORIA FALLS
.People who normally visit Victoria falls for other reasons choose not to
rent a car.Some use buses and according to a review on lonely plan-
et the buses are excellent .There is also an option to use a train that
services the Harare-Bulawayo-Victoria falls route.
Other people argue that Victoria falls is a small town ,which is easily
accessible on foot .However,this depends with what you opt to
do.Other people use the popular airport transfer methods which cost
approx $14-40.Others use hotel shuttle services because normally if
you book in advance they will arrange airport transfer for you .Other
people use taxi that cost $5 per person .We have arranged quick online
links for all these services

COMMON CHALLENGES & SCAMS FACED BY PEOPLE WHEN RENTING CARS
Documentation challenges .
Usually people face this challenge when bringing a car from South Africa to
Zimbabwe .Mostly this will be due to failure to comply with documentation
requirements .To make sure you avoid this challenge check with your com-
pany on the documentation issues and understand their terms .If you
are bringing your own car make sure your paper work is up to date .
To much road blocks
Most people come un-prepared for this ,although the situation has im-
proved Zimbabwe has a lot of police road blocks and some times they can
be a menace because within the ranks of the police are some untrustwor-
thy officers they may require tips and bribes.To avoid this make sure you
have the correct documentation .If you are found guilty make sure you ask
for a receipt-form called the Z69[S] Admition of Guilt.If you don't want to
pay or cannot pay on the spot ask for a form called the 265 for payment of
at any police station within 7 days .If you have any queries with the police
ask for their name ,force number and contact the National Complaints 24/7
number [04]703631
Credit card and passport withholding
There unscrupulous people who roam around the borders and the Victoria
Falls town as booking agents and helpers.In most cases they need exorbi-
tant amounts of money failure to which they withhold your valuable docu-
ments.To avoid this never allow anyone to withhold these documents.Even
car rental companies should not withhold these but should only verify and
give them back.If you need assistance avoid getting it from everyone but
go to official desks.
C.V.G (Commercial Vehicle Guarantee) Scam About $120 for Hire Vehicles
There are reports that some un-trustworthy individuals at the border
and others in the police force force you to pay this money even if you are
using your own car or cars that are exempted from paying this money .If
you fill that you are being duped or if you find your self in this mess kindly
and polity ask for the name of the official and point out that you want to
forward them to the responsible authorities to confirm if what they are
saying is correct.If you are liable to pay it ,it should not be above US$120.
Hidden costs
This challenge usually comes from Rental car companies .Also they may
give you car with insurance that leaves you vulnerable in case of an emer-
gency .To avoid this make sure you understand the company 's terms be-
fore booking.
