Hi everyone,

I was searching to rent a 4x4 in Maputo for my Kruger and Inhambane trip. The prices listed in Europacar and Avis are extremely expensive, at above $200 a day. A 10 day trip would cost more than $2000 sans the gasoline.
Does anyone know another reliable source to rent 4x4s in Maputo (to return to Maputo)?

Also, I would like to do some driving around Tofo - hence I had thought a 4x4 would be more reliable over one of those little Kias. Does anyone have experience driving around that area in both types of cars?

Thank you again for your help!

You don't need a 4x4 a normal small saloon is fine - the roads in Kruger are either paved or very good gravel.

Thank you for the information!!!
Great website and nice to know about local cheaper options. A bit worried about insurance that they have etc. Have they been OK?

Also do you think one of those small hutch back type KIA cars may suffice? (Maputo - Tofo)
