Home → About Us
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 walk from Stone Town.
Our fleet of 11 well-maintained Toyota vehicles covers every need — from the budget-friendly RAV4 at $25/day to the premium Prado 4×4 at $150/day. Every rental includes full comprehensive insurance, unlimited mileage, and driving permit assistance.
What makes us different from other car rental companies in Zanzibar is the personal touch. We communicate directly on WhatsApp, respond within 15 minutes, and provide practical driving tips for the island. Our 22+ verified TripAdvisor reviews speak for themselves — travelers consistently rate us 4.8 out of 5.
Every vehicle comes with full comprehensive insurance. No hidden excess fees or surprises at pickup.
We communicate directly on WhatsApp. No call centers, no automated emails. Real people, real answers.
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. No ‘contact for pricing’ games. What you see is what you pay.
We arrange your Zanzibar driving permit before you arrive. Send us your license photo and we handle the rest.
Every car is regularly serviced and cleaned. We check vehicles between every rental to keep standards high.
