Hi Lorna, I need a car with permission for cross border travel to Zimbabwe and back tentatively 26 August to 8 September. Any service provider that allows cross border hire?

Agent

To view the CROSS BORDER or FERRY terms and conditions. At STEP2 of our 3 step online booking process, alongside the car photo of your choice, there is a link entitled “IMPORTANT INFORMATION”. Clicking on this link will open an additional smaller window, with the terms and conditions appertaining to that particular car/supplier. Choose then the CAR tab and look under TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS Try a few different suppliers as each supplier/vehicle type may have a different cross border rule.

Seems Europcar & Tempest ( for example) permit but say:-

Thanks, it also appears Tempest allows. The problem is the requirement for a credit card. I only have a Standard Bank Visa card
