• What documents and information do I need to provide to rent a car in Botswana?

  Depending on the rental supplier and the country or region you're visiting, the car rental supplier may require certain documents (such as a valid driver’s license, passport, credit card, and other documents with your name and address) along with a printed booking voucher. We recommend checking with your rental supplier and the local embassy or consulate (or their websites) of your destination country/region before booking. Please remember that all travelers are responsible for preparing the correct documents before departure. Important notice: All additional driver and equipment fees must be paid at the time of pickup. Please ensure your credit card can cover these fees. If you cannot provide a valid credit card, if your credit limit is insufficient, or if the card is not in the main driver’s name, the staff may refuse to let you pick up the car, and no refund will be provided. If this is the case, you may not receive a refund.

Car rental suppliers typically offer various insurance options, including personal accident insurance, personal effects coverage, and collision damage waivers. Be sure to check if the car rental supplier offers insurance and what types are available, consider the risks, and choose the appropriate coverage for a worry-free car rental experience.
