Line up your ride with Hertz, one of the city's most trusted providers.

Good to know
Age requirements for homes vary by supplier (and even car type), so know the rules before you book. Some providers in Botswana may rent to younger drivers for an additional fee. If you fall outside the typical age bracket, simply uncheck 'Driver aged between 25–70' and then enter how old you are to explore your options.
Add a car seat to your Maun car rental reservation if you're travelling with small kids. Requirements change from one location to another, but using a child seat suited to their size, weight and age is always the safest way to go.
You'll be asked for some documents when you get to the home desk. As a rule, bring a valid driver's license, a credit card with enough funds to cover the excess (most companies don't accept debit cards), and additional photo ID. Your booking will tell you exactly what you need.
Familiarise yourself with your home. Fix your seat and mirrors, test the brakes and blinkers, and get a feel for its handling before you set off. And remember to stick to the left side of the road in Botswana.
Local speed limits can vary, but it's usually around 55kph in built-up areas and 110kph or so on highways. Always obey the posted signs.
The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in Botswana is 0.08%. Because alcohol affects everyone differently, the best way to be sure you're safe to drive is not to drink anything at all.
Around 7am is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination. Try to avoid peak travel times generally for a more relaxed drive.
