Car rental in Maputo answers to two names above all: Europcar and Hertz both list locations at Maputo International Airport, joined by South African and Mozambican agencies serving the capital's business market. Searches for Hertz Mozambique resolve here - the airport station is the anchor, with city offices and hotel delivery arranged on request. Mozambique drives on the left, documents matter - carry your licence, passport copy and the car's papers for police checkpoints - and the vehicle question depends on where you are heading: Maputo's avenues and the Katembe bridge road are fine in any car, while the sand tracks to Macaneta or the lodges up the EN1 reward a high-clearance 4x4. Cross-border rentals into South Africa or Eswatini need a letter of authority arranged at booking.
