About Zanzibar
Zanzibar is a stunning archipelago off the coast of Tanzania, renowned for its pristine white sandy beaches, turquoise waters, and rich cultural heritage.

Driving in Zanzibar
Major car rental companies such as Avis, Europcar, and local agencies operate in Zanzibar. Typical daily rental costs range from $40 to $70 depending on vehicle type, with weekly rates offering discounts. Drivers must hold a valid international or Tanzanian driver’s license and be at least 21 years old. Road conditions vary; main roads are paved but some rural routes can be rough. Parking is available in Stone Town and resort areas but can be limited. Renting a car is recommended for travelers who want flexibility to explore the island independently, especially for visiting remote beaches and attractions outside Stone Town. However, for short stays focused on beaches and Stone Town, taxis and organized tours may suffice.
