IslandGuide — Zanzibar
🇹🇿 Tanzania

Car rental in Zanzibar

Sansibar ist eine grosse Insel (1.666 km2) und die Straende erstrecken sich ueber die gesamte Kueste -- Nungwi und Kendwa im Norden, Matemwe und Paje an der Ostkueste, Jambiani und Bwejuu im Sueden. Lokale Dala-Dala-Minibusse existieren, sind aber auf Nebenrouten langsam und unregelmaessig. Ein Mietwagen gibt Ihnen die Freiheit, Stone Town, Gewuerzfarmen, den Jozani-Wald und jeden Strand ohne Taxiverhandlungen zu erreichen. Linksverkehr (wie in Grossbritannien).

Häufige Fragen

Do I need a hire car to explore Zanzibar?
Yes -- Zanzibar is large and the best beaches are spread across the island. Dala-dala minibuses connect main towns but are slow and infrequent on secondary routes. A hire car or private driver lets you reach Nungwi in the north, Paje on the east coast, and the Jozani Forest without relying on slow minibuses or expensive taxis for every journey.
Do I need an international driving licence in Zanzibar?
Yes. An international driving permit (IDP) is required alongside your national licence to drive in Tanzania (which includes Zanzibar). Traffic drives on the left. Road conditions vary -- main roads are good, but some coastal roads to remote beaches are unpaved.
Is it safe to drive in Zanzibar?
Yes, with care. Main roads to Nungwi and the east coast are well-maintained tarmac. Secondary roads can be potholed or unpaved. Driving at night is not recommended. Police checkpoints are common -- carry your licence, IDP, and car papers at all times.
Can I pick up a hire car at Zanzibar Airport (ZNZ)?
Yes -- several car rental companies operate at Abeid Amani Karume International Airport (ZNZ), 6 km south of Stone Town. Booking online before arrival is strongly recommended, as vehicle availability on the island is limited, especially in the peak December-February season.
