Gaborone Car Rental Guide

Essential driving tips and car rental FAQ for self-drive travelers in Botswana

Can I drive in Botswana with my US license?

Yes, US tourists can drive with a valid US license for up to 90 days. However, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is strongly recommended—many rental companies require it and local police may ask for it. Get your IDP before departure through AAA for about $20.

Is it true Botswana drives on the left side? Will I survive?

Botswana uses left-hand traffic (British-style), meaning the driver's seat is on the right and you must yield to traffic from the right at intersections. This is a major adjustment for US drivers. Rent a 4WD with manual transmission if venturing outside Gaborone—automatic vehicles are limited and cost 30-50% more.

How much is the young driver surcharge for under-25 renters?

Most rental companies in Gaborone charge a young driver surcharge of $15-$25 per day for drivers aged 21-24. Some local agencies may accept drivers as young as 18, but expect higher fees (up to $35/day) and restricted vehicle selection. Budget accordingly.

What's the fuel situation? Can I find gas outside Gaborone?

Petrol and diesel are readily available in Gaborone and along major highways. Full-to-full tank policy is standard—pick up with a full tank and return the same to avoid refueling fees. Stock up before heading to rural areas like Chobe or the Makgadikgadi Pans; gas stations can be 150-200 km apart.

Any wildlife dangers on Botswana roads?

Yes— Botswana has one of Africa's highest road accident rates partly due to wildlife. Elephants, kudu, and warthogs frequently cross roads, especially at dusk. Rural roads are unlit and often have speed bumps hidden by grass. Drive slowly (under 80 km/h) outside urban areas and avoid night driving entirely.

Do I need special insurance for Botswana roads?

Basic liability insurance is mandatory and typically included. However, standard US auto insurance usually won't cover Botswana. CDW (Collision Damage Waiver) costs $20-$40/day additional but is highly recommended—road conditions are rough and rescue services are distant. Verify your credit card's rental coverage before declining.
