When you visit Africa, you want to see every bit of landscape and culture at your fingertips. Yes, there is plenty to do and see in this part of the world, but public transportation can only get you so far. To see some of the most hidden gems, your own set of wheels will come in handy.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Africa?
The youngest age you can rent a car in Africa is 18. An extra fee for young drivers usually applies, so check before you book and budget for any extra costs. There may also be restrictions on the sorts of vehicles that can be rented by young drivers. For example, some companies will only rent out small to medium-sized cars to young motorists. Rules may vary between companies, so be sure to read the fine print carefully.
What do you need to rent a car in Africa?
You'll generally require a current driver's licence and credit card in your name when picking up your car. Proof of coverage may also be needed if you'd like to opt out of the company's insurance plan. These requirements may differ between providers, so it's wise to check while booking.

Whether you plan to hang around Africa or journey beyond, you can book a long-term rental with Expedia. Enter your trip details and pick-up/drop-off locations and we'll find you incredible long-term car rental deals.
Where can I find an Africa car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a young driver hoping to rent a vehicle in Africa, we recommend checking the policies of the rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25, some may not. There may be additional costs if you're aged between 21 and 24. To escape any unpleasant surprises on pickup, make sure you know exactly what to expect.
