Good to know

  • Age requirements can vary by supplier and even car type, so be clear on the rules before you book. Some providers in Botswana may rent to younger drivers for an additional fee. If you're outside the typical age bracket, just uncheck 'Driver aged between 25–70' and then enter how old you are to unlock the right options.

  • If you're travelling with kids, check if you need to add a child car seat to your Maun car hire reservation. Whether a legal requirement or not, they're always the safest way for youngsters to travel.

  • You'll have to provide some documents when you get to the rental desk. As a rule, bring a valid driver's licence, a credit card with room for the security deposit (most companies don't accept debit cards), and another form of photo ID. Your booking will tell you exactly what you need.

  • If you're new to driving in Botswana, don't forget that traffic here keeps to the left side of the road.

  • The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in Botswana is 0.08%. Because alcohol affects each person differently, the surest choice is to avoid drinks so you remain legal to drive.
