Hiring or owning a car in Harare and Zimbabwe
When it comes to the question of renting or owning a car many are of the opinion that it is best to just own.
However there are hundreds of people who need to use and travel by car or some vehicle from time to time without actually owning the car. Think for example if a person has to travel or visit Zimbabwe for a short period of time, or if they do not have the right driving license to operate a vehicle in Zimbabwe’s roads.
These people might hire or may have to use a car over a very short period of time.
Harare Car Hire website says a number of its clients are visitors and travellers who spend most of the time outside the country. They say these people do not see the need to own a car and do not want to use or rent family members vehicles so they choose to hire or rent a car.
This does not necessarily mean Harare car sales are falling or going over the roof, it just shows us that people have different preferences and choices when it comes to car renting and travelling in and around Zimbabwe.
Most Zimbabwe car hire firms are based in Harare, Bulawayo and Victoria Falls.
These are the busiest places in terms of international travel and visits. They are also the only places where one will see an airport linking the country to international destinations.
