Car rental insurance

When traveling, renting a car is nearly always a good decision because it allows you to see sites at your own pace and on your own schedule. It's always nice to be able to avoid crowded bus or rail times and go in the early morning or late at night if it suits you better.

Choose a car based on what you want to do on your trip. Small cars like the Ford Fiesta or Toyota Aygo can be used to get around the city and its surroundings.
The Skoda Superb is the most popular car in the Standard category. Its starting price is 25$ per day from EAST COAST, and its rating average is 9 based on more than 1000 customer reviews. VW Tiguan from EUROPCAR is the most reasonably priced rental vehicle in Lilongwe. Just 23$ per day is the cost.
Most of the rental cars in Lilongwe are manual. Automatic cars cost more to rent, and if your license only lets you drive an automatic car, you won't be able to rent a stick shift car.

All car rental agencies allow booking the vehicle's main features but not a specific model. Because a specific model can break, be in an accident, be kept by the prior tenant, etc. Your voucher code sets the main parameters (e.g. CDAR). Code decoding:

Car rental models
