Botswana Car Rental Services

Reliable vehicles for your unforgettable Botswana adventure

Botswana Car Rental

Why Choose Our Car Rental Services?

Botswana is a massive, largely unpopulated country - so when driving here it is good to know you have a new & well maintained rental vehicle. That is why the Cardboard Box Travel Shop has partnered with some of the largest & best car rental companies in Botswana to offer you a wide choice of vehicle.

On a normal holiday in Botswana a good deal of driving is done on unsealed (gravel) roads. Although most of these are in reasonable condition four wheel drive vehicles are better suited to handle these conditions - and we would recommend that the majority of our clients rent one of these for the duration of their visit.
