Top tips for hiring a car at Dar Es Salaam airport

  • Getting a car rental at Dar Es Salaam Airport (DAR) offers several advantages over relying on public transportation such as buses and trains. With a rental car, you'll be able to flexibly explore the city's attractions, including the National Museum and House of Culture, Kunduchi Wet "N" Wild Water Park, and the Slipway. You'll also be able to customize your itinerary, allowing you to avoid fixed schedules and routes. With a rental car, you can also avoid the hassle of navigating crowded buses or trains and carrying heavy luggage. Furthermore, a rental car allows you to save time by eliminating the need to wait for public transportation or transfer between different modes of transport.
  • Car rentals at Dar Es Salaam Airport provide a number of amenities to cater to the needs of travelers. Upon arrival at the car rental center, you'll find spacious waiting areas and a dedicated customer service desk where friendly and knowledgeable staff are available to assist with bookings, provide information about rental policies, and answer any inquiries. Within walking distance of the car rental center, you can find a variety of dining options, ranging from casual cafes to restaurants serving local and international cuisine. In addition, there are shops where you can browse and purchase rush-hour essentials and travel accessories. You can also access financial services, ATMs, and currency exchange counters at the shopping center.
  • When returning your rental car, head east on Samora Avenue until you reach the junction with the Nelson Mandela Expressway, which will lead you straight to the airport. Once at DAR, find signage specifically directing you to the car rental return area. When you get to the designated car return zone, locate the appropriate parking spot and park your rental car. Once you've packed the rental car, head to your car rental provider's office and return the car keys while completing any necessary paperwork in the process.
  • Getting a car rental at Dar Es Salaam Airport during peak travel times can be an incredibly challenging task. Dar Es Salaam attracts a significant number of tourists and business travelers throughout the year. Peak travel times in Dar Es Salaam usually occur during major holidays, festivals, and vacation seasons, such as Christmas, New Year's, and Easter. During these times, the demand for rental cars increases, leading to limited availability and increased competition among customers, resulting in long waiting times, inflated prices, and a reduced selection of cars to choose from. It is advisable to make a prior booking to secure a rental car and avoid unnecessary stress and inconvenience upon arrival.
  • Book your car hire at Dar Es Salaam airport at least 1 week before your trip in order to get a below-average price
