No desk, no queue

How renting a car
with us works.

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

  1. 1

    You tell us your dates

    Your dates, where you’re staying, 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 deliver to your accommodation or meet you at the airport, 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 at your accommodation, a lodge, or the airport, and the car is ready when you are. Most rentals are for getting around the coast and the towns at your own pace — the beaches, the back roads, inland, wherever you’re headed.

Going further afield? 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.

Driving it yourself? Our guide to driving in Mozambique is the practical companion to this page — what the EN1 is actually like, fuel and Portuguese pump terms, police checkpoints, the equipment the law says every car must carry, and the border paperwork if you’re bringing a vehicle in.

Renting in a specific town? See car rental in Maputo, car rental in Vilanculos, or car rental in Tofo, and where to go if you’re still planning. Heading off the tarmac? See 4x4 rental in Mozambique.

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 Mozambique?
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 — built for Mozambique's roads and everything off them: the sand, the dune tracks, the remote beaches an ordinary car can't reach. Tell us your dates and we'll confirm availability.
Can you deliver the car to my accommodation or the airport?
In most cases, yes — we can arrange pickup and drop-off at your hotel, lodge, beach house, or the 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 Mozambique's roads yourself, just say so and we'll pair you with a local driver who knows them. Mention it in your message and we'll quote it.
Do you rent for longer stays — weeks or months?
Yes. For a longer stay — working, volunteering, or just staying a while — we can arrange longer-term hire at a better daily rate. Message us with how long you need it.
