  • Leave high costs in the rearview by reserving your wheels in December. With average daily rates of Rs12,531, it's the cheapest month to rent a car in MPM.

  • Get the timing right and book about three weeks ahead to score yourself a cheap MPM rental car.

  • Europcar is one of the trusted names in car rentals at Maputo International Airport.

  • Always check if a collision damage waiver (CDW) is part of your Maputo International Airport car hire policy, whether you book with Europcar or a different supplier. Some companies offer it as a paid extra instead of including it.

  • Booking one-way could snag you a cheaper rate on your car rental. Providers sometimes offer lower rates when vehicles need to be moved around. Just choose 'Return car to a different location' when searching for a car for rent in MPM.

  • Search for a vehicle with a 'Fair fuel policy.' You'll pick up and drop off your car hire in Maputo International Airport with a full tank, so you're only paying for what you use. You won't get hit with overpriced refueling charges either.

  • The real fun starts once you've grabbed the keys to your MPM car rental. You've got the freedom to go wherever you like, but if you're off to central Maputo, it'll take you around 15 minutes to travel the 6 kilometres or so south.

  • Don't need a set of wheels right away? Consider grabbing a car hire in Maputo instead of at the airport. That way, you won't pay for days you don't use.
