Unlimited Mileage.

For the car hirer's peace of mind our vehicles are offered on un-limited mileage basis for rentals over 30 days. You would have no need to watch the odometer reading during your long term rental period.

Another added advantage of the un-limited mileage basis is that there is no payment surprises at the end of your car rental. The car renter knows in advance their car rental bill.

For cross-border rentals, we shall purchase COMESA insurance well in advance for you to avoid any delays at the border crossings.
