Britz Cars in Zimbabwe: Harare and Victoria Falls

The rental company

Britz Cars in Zimbabwe, the way to travel from lodge to lodge

Britz Cars is the part of the Britz offer that includes neither berths nor camping equipment. In Zimbabwe, its vehicles are collected in Harare or Victoria Falls; as no address is published, the meeting place is confirmed after booking.

Travelling without a tent makes good sense in Zimbabwe: private lodges, chalets run by the national parks and guesthouses line the main sites, from Great Zimbabwe to the Matobo Hills. The main towns are linked by tarred roads, often in poor condition, and tracks take over in the parks. Our October 2026 records contain no Britz Cars offer for this country and no model is described there: the vehicle category, its transmission, the mileage and the excess are to be checked case by case.

Our view: a simple solution for those who prefer a proper bed to a tent, with two departure towns covering the west and north-east of the country. Many grey areas remain, from the fleet to the conditions: read each offer before committing, especially if your route uses tracks.

Practical tips

Our tips for booking with Britz Cars

Reach your stop before nightfall

After sunset, Zimbabwean roads become risky: no lighting, pedestrians and herds on the road, broken-down lorries sometimes with no warning signs. Plan reasonable stages and set off early in the morning, especially as potholes are much easier to spot in broad daylight.
Take dollars in small notes

The US dollar circulates widely in Zimbabwe, alongside the local currency. Low-value notes make it easier to pay road tolls, small purchases and fuel at stations where the card terminal does not always work.

What travellers ask

Your questions about Britz Cars

What sets Britz Cars apart from Britz in Zimbabwe?

The two brands share Harare and Victoria Falls, but not the same purpose. Britz focuses on 4x4s ready for camping, while Britz Cars is aimed at those who sleep under a roof every night. Their offers appear separately in the results, each with its own conditions.

What does a Britz Cars vehicle cost in Zimbabwe?

No amount can be given: not a single Britz Cars offer appeared for Zimbabwe in our October 2026 records. Enter Harare or Victoria Falls and your dates in the CoolDrive search to see the current offers, with mandatory fees already included.

Harare or Victoria Falls to start with Britz Cars?

Harare is the logical starting point for Great Zimbabwe, near Masvingo, and for the uplands of Nyanga and Chimanimani in the east. Victoria Falls suits a stay focused on the falls and Hwange National Park. For a crossing from one town to the other, the offer must allow the vehicle to be returned in the second.

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 Zimbabwe

Do you need a 4x4 to visit Hwange or Matobo?

The access roads to the main camps can generally be driven in an ordinary vehicle in dry weather. In Hwange, several tracks are sandy and high ground clearance, or even all-wheel drive, becomes valuable, especially during or after the rains. Check the vehicle category in the offer before confirming.

Can you see the falls from the Zambian side with the hired vehicle?

To cross the Victoria Falls Bridge by car, you need the rental company's agreement and the vehicle's exit documents. A common solution is to park the car on the Zimbabwean side and cross the bridge on foot once immigration formalities are done, which avoids the paperwork for the vehicle. Depending on your nationality, a visa covering both countries may be available.
