What Should I Do After a Car Accident in a Rental Car in Mozambique?

After an accident in Mozambique, first ensure everyone's safety and call the police for a report, which is crucial for insurance. Then, contact your rental company and QEEQ immediately. Document the scene with photos and gather witness information. Do not admit fault. Follow the rental company's and QEEQ's instructions for the next steps regarding your policy.

What Are My Options for Car Rental Fuel Policies in Iceland?

Most rental companies in Iceland offer a "full-to-full" policy, where you receive the car with a full tank and must return it full. Some may offer a "pre-purchase" option, where you buy a full tank upfront and can return the car empty. Always clarify the policy before driving off to avoid unexpected charges.

Mozambique Car Rental FAQ

Essential driving tips and requirements for US travelers visiting Vilanculos

Can I use my US driver's license in Mozambique, or do I need an International Driving Permit?

You need both. While your US license is valid, Mozambique requires an International Driving Permit (IDP) as a legal requirement. Car rental companies in Vilanculos will refuse service without it, and police can issue fines up to 5,000 MZN ($80 USD) if you're stopped. Get your IDP from AAA or AATA before departure—it costs about $20 and takes 15 minutes. Your US license plus IDP must be carried together at all times while driving.

Is driving in Mozambique dangerous for Americans used to right-hand traffic?

Mozambique drives on the LEFT—opposite to the US. You'll be sitting on the right side of the car, shifting gears with your left hand. It takes 2-3 days to adjust fully. The biggest risks: wrong-way turns at intersections and hitting curbs on roundabouts. Vilanculos has minimal traffic, making it a good place to practice. Consider renting an automatic to reduce cognitive load. A small scratch on the left side of the rental car is the most common incident for first-time left-side drivers.

How bad are the roads around Vilanculos, really?

Roads in Vilanculos and the surrounding Bazaruto Archipelago region are a mixed bag. The main EN1 highway is paved but has significant potholes—drive slowly and avoid night driving. Roads to beaches and hotels are often unpaved, sandy, or deeply rutted. A 4x4 is strongly recommended (around $80-120/day vs. $50-70 for a sedan) and may be mandatory during the rainy season (November-March). Expect to average 30-40 mph even on 'highway' routes. Rent a vehicle with high ground clearance regardless of your itinerary.

Will I have trouble finding gas stations, and can I pay with a credit card?

Gas stations are scarce outside major cities like Maputo. In Vilanculos, there are only 2-3 stations, and they frequently run out of fuel or close early. Always fill up when you see fuel, even if the tank is half full. Bring 10,000-20,000 MZN ($160-320 USD) in cash—many stations do not accept credit cards, and the ones that do may have broken machines. Premium unleaded is available but inconsistent in quality; consider carrying a fuel additive for long trips to the interior.

What car insurance do I actually need in Mozambique?

Basic rental insurance is insufficient for Mozambique. Roads conditions, wildlife, and theft risk make comprehensive coverage essential. You need: (1) Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) with zero deductible—expect $15-25/day extra; (2) Third-party liability with at least $100,000 coverage; (3) Theft protection—carjackings and break-ins occur even in tourist areas. Your US credit card may cover CDW, but verify it applies to Mozambique (many exclude it). If relying on credit card coverage, you'll need a letter from your card issuer confirming coverage. Budget $30-40/day for full protection.

Can I drive from South Africa to Vilanculos with a rental car?

Most rental companies prohibit cross-border travel into Mozambique, and the ones that allow it charge $150-300 in cross-border fees plus require 72+ hours advance notice. You'll need a vehicle entry permit at the border ($45), third-party Mozambique insurance ($25), and reflective stickers on the vehicle. The drive from Johannesburg to Vilanculos is 12-14 hours on poor roads. It's usually cheaper and faster to fly directly to Vilanculos Airport and rent locally. If you must drive, rent from a major company like Hertz or Avis in South Africa and get written cross-border authorization.
