Car Hire for Visitors Travelling to Zambia
Visitors travelling to Zambia can arrange transport before arrival by checking available cars, rental prices, airport transfer options and driver services with Shark Car Hire.
Planning transport before arriving in Zambia can make the first part of a trip easier. Shark Car Hire serves Lusaka, Kitwe and Ndola and provides self-drive, airport transfer, chauffeur, short-term and longer rental options subject to availability.
Visitors who intend to self drive should contact the office before travel to confirm which identification and driver documents will be accepted for their circumstances. This is especially important where the customer does not use Zambian NRC or proof-of-residence documents.
Plan your rental
Arrange airport transport before arrival
If you need airport pickup, provide the arrival date, expected time, airport, passenger number, luggage information and destination. This helps the team plan the correct vehicle and quotation.
Customers can also arrange a vehicle with a driver where applicable, which may be useful for first-time visitors or business travellers who prefer not to drive.
Self-drive car hire for visitors
Self-drive hire is available to eligible customers after the required verification. Shark Car Hire’s standard driver requirement is a minimum age of 21 and a valid driver licence held for at least two years.
Because visitor identification documents can differ from the standard Zambian process, contact the office in advance to confirm what identification and supporting documents should be provided.
Choose the right travel zone
Tell Shark Car Hire where you plan to use the vehicle. Travel within the pickup town, within the pickup province and outside the province use different standard rates.
If your itinerary changes during the rental, contact the office before changing the agreed travel arrangement so the applicable rental terms can be confirmed.
