10 tips to save on your car hire in and around Mzuzu

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search based on vehicle type and features. Whether you require an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer outings, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilise the filters on Expedia to identify the perfect match for your journey.
  • Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary with demand, so it’s advisable to secure your car well in advance of your trip. By booking early, you are more likely to benefit from lower rates and greater availability, especially during peak seasons.
  • Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically more affordable to rent and easier to park in congested areas. Mid-size rentals offer a balanced combination of cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  • Age guidelines: Drivers under the age of 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain types of vehicles—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be available. This restriction can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  • Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements stipulate a full-to-full fuel policy, which means you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is generally the most favourable option. Other policies may include full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which are acceptable as well; just ensure you return the car empty in such cases.
  • Save on city and airport pickups: You may often incur a surcharge for collecting your rental car at airports, but the convenience might justify the extra cost.
  • Know your payment options: Many car hire companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  • Understand your insurance coverage: Car hire insurance can help you avoid unnecessary expenses and provide peace of mind should something unexpected arise during your trip. Adding car hire insurance is straightforward when booking through Expedia.
  • Consider unlimited mileage: If you’re planning on taking long road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra charges.
  • Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is essential for renting a car.
