We are a locally owned car rental company based in Kiembe Samaki, near Stone Town. Since 2012, we have been helping travelers explore Zanzibar at their own pace with well-maintained vehicles, transparent pricing, and genuine hospitality.
Zanzibar Rentals was founded with a simple idea: every traveler visiting Zanzibar deserves a reliable car, a fair price, and honest advice about driving on the island. We are based in Kiembe Samaki, just 5 minutes from the international airport and a short drive from Stone Town
Our fleet of 12 well-maintained vehicles, mostly Toyota, plus a Suzuki and a Nissan. Prado 4×4 at $150/day. Every rental includes comprehensive insurance, unlimited mileage and automatic transmission.
What makes us different from other car rental companies in Zanzibar is the personal touch.

We live in Zanzibar. We know the roads, the shortcuts, the checkpoints, and the best beaches to drive to.
Our prices are on the website. Extras like fuel, delivery outside Stone Town and the permit fee are listed clearly.
Our agent meets you at ZNZ arrivals with a name board and your car ready. We track your flight, so delays are no problem.
