Britz Cars in Livingstone, for a Zambia experienced from lodges

Britz Cars, the offer that CoolDrive presents separately from the Britz bush camping 4x4s, has a single pick-up city in Zambia: Livingstone, the country's tourism capital. No model is listed there and no prices have been recorded: the vehicle category, its number of seats and any equipment supplied are described in the offer, while the place where you are handed the keys, whether a depot, delivery or an appointment, is set at booking.

With a vehicle, it is easy to explore around Livingstone: the falls and their path facing the curtain of water, the small Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park on the edge of town, and the lodges set upstream on the Zambezi. More ambitious travellers take the T1 road, which is tarred and runs north-east to Lusaka, nearly 500 kilometres away, the gateway to the Lower Zambezi and South Luangwa.

Our view: an option worth exploring if you are sleeping in lodges or guesthouses and simply want to get around freely near the falls. Its limits: no model or conditions known before the search, and a single departure point, which complicates a circuit that does not return to Livingstone.

Our view

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

Britz Cars is ideal if…

  • Your nights are booked in lodges along the Zambezi
  • You want to drive to Lusaka after seeing the falls

Britz Cars is not ideal if…

  • A rooftop tent and camp kitchen are essential for you: the Britz offer is better suited
  • You want to know the exact model before even entering dates
Practical tips

Our tips for booking with Britz Cars

  1. Choose your month according to the falls' flow

    The Zambezi peaks around March and April: the curtain of water is spectacular but the spray sometimes hides the view and soaks visitors. At the end of the dry season, around October and November, the Zambian side can shrink to a few trickles. In between, from June to August, the sight remains impressive and access is more comfortable.

  2. Keep some kwacha for the tolls

    Zambia's main roads, including the T1 to Lusaka, are dotted with toll booths. Always keep some local currency in the glovebox, which is also useful for park entry fees and small purchases along the way, and fill up in towns rather than at isolated filling stations.

  3. Handle roadside checks without stress

    The Zambian police often stop vehicles on the main roads. Slow down as you approach, stick strictly to speed limits and keep your licence and rental contract to hand. At departure, check that the warning triangles, which are regularly asked for, are on board.

What travellers ask

Your questions about Britz Cars

Which Britz Cars vehicle do you get in Livingstone?

No model is listed for Zambia. In South Africa, Britz Cars brings together pick-ups and SUVs without sleeping space, but there is no guarantee of the same range in Livingstone: only the offer shown for your dates states the category, number of seats, gearbox and any equipment.

Britz Cars or Britz: which should you choose in Zambia?

Both leave from Livingstone. Britz hires out 4x4s prepared for sleeping in a rooftop tent, suited to a camping safari. Britz Cars is a separate offer, the one to choose if you are staying in lodges and only need a means of transport. Run a single search: they appear one below the other.

What budget for a Britz Cars hire in Zambia?

With no offers recorded in Zambia, we do not quote any amount. The price varies with the vehicle, the duration and the season. On CoolDrive, the price shown for your dates includes mandatory fees from the outset, with the excess and mileage alongside.

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 Zambia

Can you drive at night in Zambia?

It is best avoided. Outside towns, roads are unlit, potholes appear without warning, and pedestrians, bicycles, livestock or broken-down lorries sometimes occupy the road. Set off early in the morning to reach your stop well before sunset, which is around 6 pm all year round.

Can you cross into Zimbabwe via the Victoria Falls Bridge?

The bridge linking Livingstone to the town of Victoria Falls is very close, and the temptation is great. With a hire vehicle, leaving the country requires the rental company's written agreement, documents for the vehicle and usually a surcharge. Mention this crossing when you book; you can also cross on foot for a simple visit.

What deposit should you expect with Britz Cars?

The amount does not appear in our records for Zambia: it is specified in the offer, along with the excess and the options that reduce it. Generally, expect a pre-authorisation on your card on the day of departure, which must be covered by your credit card limit and is released after the vehicle is returned.
