Car Rental in Malawi



Renting a car makes life easier for students in a foreign land. It reduces the time spent queuing for buses and other public transport. It provides convenience whether it’s for a holiday or an emergency.

When considering car rental, here are a few things students need to look at before making the decision

Cost- one should think about all the costs associated with renting a vehicle. Consider whether the costs cover fuel as well or you have to fill up on your own. The type of car should be taken into account as well. The classier the car or the bigger the car, the more the cost.

Pick and Drop- pick and drop services can be provided whereby the car picks you up and delivers you to your destination and this can be quite costly depending on the distance and the extra cost of a driver.

The type of car -The type of car to be rented should also be considered. The destination or the type of road will determine the type of car to be hired whether luxury or utility, for example, for an off-road trip one has to get a jeep or any 4x4 vehicle.

Insurance cover-car rentals should have cover in case of breakdowns or when the client needs road-side assistance and in case of an accident.

Distance to be travelled-Some car rental companies usually put a cap on the distance one can travel, for example, in some places, you can only travel within the city and cannot go beyond that

Time-period- this refers to the period in which one will be using the car for. It is usually cheaper to hire a vehicle for a longer period than shorter periods.
