If you plan on staying within the coastal city of Dar Es Salaam, then we recommend that you use compact or economy car hire in Dar Es Salaam, as these vehicles tend to be easier to control on the narrow roads of the city and can be easier to park. If you would like to travel a little further afield, then we recommend using SUV or 4x4 Dar Es Salaam car hire, as these vehicles are better equipped for country roads and longer journeys.

On both rural roads and motorways, the speed limit is capped at 80 km/h.

If you are looking to park your car near the city centre of Dar Es Salaam, then we recommend using either the Sabodo Parkade, on India Street, or the BOT Car Park, which is nearby but a little closer to the coast. If you would like to park on the street, then in most central areas, you must pay; this will likely be paid for via an app on your smartphone. Outside the city centre, you may find areas where parking is free, but we recommend that you use car parks for increased safety.
