Number of people traveling –

Determine what type of vehicle you’ll need to hire based on number of people. If you traveling independently or as a couple, you may want a small 4 door passenger car to save money on rates for fuel and driver but if you are traveling as a group like family or tourists and carrying huge cargo, then you may want to reserve a larger vehicle like Minibus or Safari minivan which can accommodate many passengers and have enough cargo space in the rear and top of roof.

Valid driving permit/license is required

All car agencies check the validity of you driving permits and remain with photo copy of license and passport photo or any other valid identification. Your driving record should also be clean to avoid any suspicions when it comes to confirming services.

Car rental agency status-

Before you even think of renting a car, it’s good to first research about the company that will be offering you the car services. Questions to come to your mind include ...Are they fully licensed to operate? , Are they trusted and reliable? , Do they offer low rates?. 

Ask about Renting rates (Included and extra charges)

Always ask about prices before you decide to rent a car to avoid any shocks and uncertainties.  Some common charges include government taxes, airport surcharges, fuel charges and Early or Late return fee.  You will be charged an extra fee in case you return the car past the date you are required to return it to the office. The price of car for rent on self drive is quite cheap as compared to the Chauffeur or guide driven option so you will need to ask quotations for both options.

Other fees or charges that may apply include equipment fees for example a travel map, GPS device, and camping bag among others.
