How renting a car
with us works.

Renting through EKAYA takes one WhatsApp message and a reply, not a terminal counter and a stack of forms. Here’s the whole thing.

  1. 1

    You tell us your dates

    Your dates, your flight or hotel, and roughly what you’ll do with the car. A sentence is enough to start.

  2. 2

    We confirm availability and quote it

    We check the car is free for your dates and send an honest all-in rate — no hidden fees, no pressure.

  3. 3

    We bring it to you

    We meet you at Maputo International Airport or deliver to your hotel, sort the paperwork on the spot, and you drive off.

Pickup & range

Where we’ll bring the car — and where you can take it.

We deliver and collect across Maputo — your hotel, an office, an address, or Maputo International Airport — and the car is ready when you are. Most rentals are for the capital and the day trips around it, but plenty of people take the car much further.

Heading up the coast? Tell us the route you have in mind and we’ll sort the handover, including one-way trips and a driver if you’d rather not drive every leg yourself.

No surprises

What's sorted before you drive off.

Insurance
Every rental comes insured. We'll spell out exactly what's covered and what the excess is before you agree to anything — no small-print surprises.
Deposit
A refundable deposit usually applies and comes straight back when the car returns in the same state. We confirm the amount up front, in writing.
Licence & ID
A valid driver's licence and photo ID is all you need to start. We'll confirm the age minimum and any extras when you message.
Real people
You deal with us directly on WhatsApp, in English or Portuguese, and we actually answer — usually within a few hours. People who know these roads, not a call centre on the other side of the world.

Before you ask

The questions we get most.

How much does it cost to rent a 4x4 in Maputo?
It depends on how many days you need it and the season. Message us with your dates and we'll send the current rate — no obligation, and no online payment.
What vehicle do you rent?
A 4x4 — capable on the city's roads and ready for everything beyond them: the sand, the reserves, and the long runs up the coast. Tell us your dates and we'll confirm availability.
Can you deliver the car to my hotel or the airport?
In most cases, yes — we can arrange pickup and drop-off at your hotel, an address, or Maputo International Airport. Tell us where you're staying when you message and we'll build it in.
What do I need to rent — licence, deposit, age?
A valid driver's licence and photo ID at a minimum. A foreign photocard licence is accepted for short stays; a refundable deposit usually applies. We'll confirm the exact requirements, age minimum, and deposit when you message.
Can you arrange a driver as well?
Yes. If you'd rather not drive the city yourself, just say so and we'll pair you with a local driver who knows it. Mention it in your message and we'll quote it.
Do you rent for longer stays — weeks or months?
Yes. For a longer stay in Maputo — a project, a posting, or a season — we can arrange longer-term hire at a better daily rate. Message us with how long you need it.
