Vehicle rental rates

All rates in USD. Monthly estimates are calculated from the published daily rate × 28 days — actual long-term rates may be lower with negotiated discounts. Rates include insurance and free mileage where noted. Cross-border permits, COMESA Yellow Card insurance, and national park entry fees are not included.
