KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Lusaka

  • Car hire in Lusaka is one of the best ways to experience the city and surrounding area. Explore the beauty of the Zambian landscape by driving yourself through real local villages and towns, experiencing how local Zambians live and immersing yourself in this breathtaking country. Self-driving is a way to become transfixed with what Lusaka and Zambia as a whole have to offer. Plus, it's a whole lot easier than trying to figure out the public transport system or barter with local taxi drivers. Many of the far-out places are only accessible through self-driving or expensive tours.
  • Lusaka's Kenneth Kaunda International Airport (LUN) is an ideal spot to pick up your Lusaka car hire because it'll likely be both your arrival and departure point if you're travelling by flight. It's also an easy way to travel roughly 20 km to the city centre. It's recommended that you book your car hire ahead of schedule, to avoid availability issues and save time. Your car hire company will arrange to pick you up at the airport, meeting you in the Arrivals hall.
  • Driving a car hire in Lusaka is quite similar to most other major cities in the world. The traffic in Lusaka is a little heavier than in some countries, but the roads are wide and easy to navigate. If you're driving outside the main city, you'll need to stock up on supplies because petrol stations are few and far between. Travelling at night outside of the city isn't recommended because there tends to be animals on the roads.
  • A difficulty with driving in Lusaka and other parts of Zambia is the poor visibility at night due to the lack of lights. Lusaka is probably the most well-lit city and there's still very little in the way of street lights. When cars break down or there are accidents, drivers put branches on the road behind their cars, but they're still difficult to see at night. If possible, avoid night driving as much as you can.
  • Medium rental cars in Lusaka are around 38% cheaper than other car types, on average

    A Small car rental in Lusaka costs ₪244 per day, on average.

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Lusaka?

    If you're hiring a car in Lusaka for tourist purposes, you'll want to spend time exploring other parts of the country, so a 4x4 is a better option for navigating the rural roads and carrying the supplies you need. If you're planning on just driving to Lusaka and the airport, the choice of car hire in Lusaka is up to you. Larger cars are better suited to more people. Small, compact car hire is generally more fuel efficient and a better choice for budget travellers. Avoid hiring a convertible in Lusaka.

  • What’s the speed limit in Lusaka?

    The speed limits when driving in and around Lusaka are the same as in the rest of the country. It's important to stick to these limits, as police often target foreign drivers. The speed limit inside the city and built-up areas is 50 km/h, and the limit on the rural roads is 100 km/h. Bear in mind that locals often drive much faster and average closer to 80 km/h in the city and around 120 km/h or more on the rural roads.

  • Where are the best places to park in Lusaka?

    The majority of the parking in Lusaka city centre is either on-street paid parking monitored by parking guards or car parks that provide "Pay & Display" parking. You'll get your ticket when you enter the parking and must pay for it before returning to your car. There is paid parking at any of the shopping centres or retail shops you go to. There are no on-street meters but a fee is generally required. It'll be wise to find a hotel that offers free parking, as parking on the street at night isn't recommended.
