Arusha Airport (ARK) and Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) are separate collection locations. Match the airport code on your flight booking before reserving a rental.
Arusha can be a base before or after a northern Tanzania itinerary. Decide whether you need a rental for local travel or a separately arranged safari vehicle; those bookings can have different equipment and access requirements.

Leave room in your itinerary for stops and avoid promising a fixed arrival time after a long drive.
Choosing a vehicle
Which car suits your Arusha trip?
Confirm vehicle suitability, permitted roads and supplier approval for your itinerary. Do not assume an ordinary rental includes safari access, off-road driving or the equipment provided with a dedicated safari vehicle.
Check luggage capacity and the rental agreement before booking. Confirm any one-way return with the supplier rather than assuming it is included.
