Britz Cars, a separate offering in Botswana

Britz Cars appears on CoolDrive as an offering separate from that of Britz, the equipped 4x4 brand that also rents in Botswana. The two appear one after the other in the results, each with its own vehicles, prices and terms. Britz Cars is also available in South Africa.

In Botswana, three departure cities are listed: Maun, on the Matshwane industrial site, gateway to the Okavango Delta and the Moremi reserve; Kasane, in Kazungula, on the edge of Chobe National Park and near the borders with Zambia, Zimbabwe and Namibia; and Gaborone, the capital, in the south.

No models are listed for the country and CoolDrive did not observe any Britz Cars offers in October 2026. The vehicle type, whether or not bush camping equipment is included, the kilometres included and the excess are therefore set out in the details of each offer. On the service side, Britz Cars highlights assistance available day and night.

Our verdict: well-placed depots for a self-drive trip in the north of the country. Weak points: no published data on the fleet or the terms, which means reading each offer carefully, and high demand during the dry season.

Our view

Britz Cars: who is it for, and who should look elsewhere?

Britz Cars is ideal if…

  • You are landing in Maun and heading for the Okavango Delta or Moremi
  • You are starting with Chobe or want to combine your safari with Victoria Falls
  • You are entering Botswana from the south and want to collect the vehicle in Gaborone
  • You want to compare Britz Cars and Britz in the same search

Britz Cars is not ideal if…

  • You insist on knowing the exact model before searching your dates
  • You definitely need a roof tent: check the equipment or look at Britz and Bushlore Africa
  • You have never driven on sand and are setting off alone into the Central Kalahari
  • Your itinerary includes long night-time stages
Practical tips

Our tips for booking with Britz Cars

  1. Book the park campsites before the vehicle

    In Moremi, Chobe or the Central Kalahari, campsite pitches are few and run by private operators. At the park entrance, you may be asked for proof of booking. Secure your nights as soon as your itinerary is set, then look for a vehicle for the same dates.

  2. Plan ahead for veterinary fences

    Veterinary fences divide the country to contain foot-and-mouth disease. At checkpoints, raw meat or dairy products may be confiscated and tyres disinfected. Do your shopping after the checkpoint, in Maun or Kasane for example.

  3. Fill up at every opportunity

    Outside the towns, petrol stations are rare and sometimes run dry. Fill the tank whenever possible, carry plenty of water and ask the depot about the vehicle’s real range on sand, where fuel consumption rises quickly.

  4. Inspect the vehicle before leaving the depot

    Photograph the bodywork and the windscreen, check the spare wheel, the jack and the compressor, then check the inventory if camping equipment is provided. Note down the assistance number and ask how to contact the rental company from an area with no signal.

  5. Prepare the crossing into Zambia or Zimbabwe

    From Kasane, the Kazungula bridge leads into Zambia and the Victoria Falls road into Zimbabwe. Leaving the country requires the rental company’s written approval and documents for the vehicle. Mention these plans when booking to avoid a nasty surprise at the border post.

What travellers ask

Your questions about Britz Cars

What is the difference between Britz Cars and Britz in Botswana?

They are two offerings that CoolDrive presents separately. In Botswana, Britz offers Toyota Hilux vehicles with roof tents, a Jimny and a Fortuner, observed in October 2026. For Britz Cars, no models are listed in the country: the vehicle offered and any camping equipment are revealed in the offer. Compare the two for your dates.

How much does Britz Cars hire cost in Botswana?

CoolDrive did not observe any Britz Cars offers in Botswana in October 2026, so we cannot quote any figures. The amount depends on the vehicle, the departure city, the duration and the season, the dry season being the most in demand. Search with your dates: each price shown already includes mandatory fees.

Where are the Britz Cars depots in Botswana?

In Maun, the address is Tribal Lot 17227, on the Matshwane industrial site. In Kasane, the depot is at Lot 63, in Kazungula, east of the town. In Gaborone, the precise location is provided with your booking. Pick-up and return times are shown in your confirmation.

Is mileage unlimited with Britz Cars?

With no offers observed in Botswana, we cannot confirm it. Read the mileage line of each offer and, if a cap applies, the price per extra kilometre. Distances are great: from Gaborone to Maun, it is nearly 1,000 kilometres by road, even before the tracks of the delta or Chobe.

Do I need off-road experience in Botswana?

Between towns, tarmac predominates and careful driving is enough. In the reserves, thick sand, ruts and water after the rains require you to know how to deflate the tyres and engage the diff lock or low range. If you are a beginner, choose the busiest parks and do not set off alone into remote areas.

First rental of this type of vehicle in a professional context where the rental must take place from France to Canada. Many questions and Cooldrive (Marlène) has been a valuable support in guiding my choices. Efficiency and responsiveness beforehand, and on-site a vehicle and service that met our expectations. No complaints. Great!

Frequently asked questions

FAQ — Britz Cars vehicle hire in Botswana

Why book Britz Cars with CoolDrive?

The CoolDrive search shows Britz Cars alongside Britz, Bushlore Africa, Asco or Africa on Wheels for the same city and dates, with prices that include mandatory fees. You can see at a glance which vehicle suits your safari. Our experts then help you check the equipment, the permitted borders and the feasibility of your itinerary.

What excess and security deposit apply with Britz Cars?

No amounts have been observed for Britz Cars in Botswana. The excess, the security deposit and the packages to reduce it are listed in the details of each offer. You will normally need a credit card with a sufficient limit at pick-up, and you should ask exactly what the insurance covers on tracks, the windscreen and the tyres.

When should I go to Botswana for a self-drive safari?

From May to October, the dry weather concentrates animals near waterholes and the tracks remain passable; nights in June and July are cold. September and October are very hot. From November to March, the rains turn the country green and attract birds, but make some tracks muddy or closed.

Can I pick up the vehicle in Maun and return it in Kasane?

Britz Cars has depots in both cities, but a trip without returning to the starting point is not guaranteed. Enter Kasane as the arrival city in the CoolDrive search: only compatible offers remain displayed, with any fees. Otherwise, a loop from Maun to Moremi and Nxai Pan, then back to Maun, avoids this surcharge.

What documents do I need to drive in Botswana?

Take your national driving licence and, if it is not in English, an international driving permit, often required by rental companies and useful at checkpoints. Add your passport, the main driver’s credit card and your booking confirmation. To travel to a neighbouring country, the vehicle papers provided by the rental company are essential.

Can I drive at night in Botswana?

It is not advisable. Donkeys, cows, goats and sometimes elephants cross the roads without warning, including on the main tarmac roads, and there is no street lighting outside the towns. In national parks, driving is prohibited after sunset. Plan your stages so as to reach the campsite before nightfall.
