Fantastic hire car company !

We hired a car for two weeks while in Zimbabwe.
Zimba were extremely helpful, friendly, and replied to emails very promptly.
Collen was at the airport waiting for us ( despite a delayed flight ) and couldn’t have been more helpful.
He showed us everything we needed to know about the car and also gave us some invaluable tips for our travels.
The car was perfect , in excellent condition, great to drive, and very comfortable.
Zimba was great value with fantastic service and I would recommend them to anyone looking to hire a car in Zimbabwe

Excellent service, wonderful people

We just returned from a fantastic 10-day trip driving around Zimbabwe. We were especially happy with Zimba. The car was in great condition, and Collen and Margaret were a joy to do business with. They are both lovely people and the type of people you wish only success for.
Collen even gave my girlfriend and I a lift to the bus station after we'd dropped the car back - a proper gentleman.

I would definitely hire from them again and highly recommend anybody else thinking of doing so.

Great experience

We just rented a Toyota Prado for a trip to Mana Pools. Our experience was great start to finish. Communication was easy ahead, with questions via email being answered promptly and service was friendly. The car was in great condition, with everything up to date, making it so that we had no problems at the police stops one is guaranteed to come up against in Zimbabwe. The car was delivered to us at a convenient location and both pick-up and drop off was prompt. As for the car itself, not only is it the rainy season in Zimbabwe, the rains have been particularly heavy and the roads in Mana Pools were bad. The car navigated the water, mud and irregular roads with no problem whatsoever. In short, the experience was great start to finish. I highly recommend this company!

Very happy UK-based hirer - would use again

We rented a Mazda Tribute for a 10 day, high-mileage road trip round Zimbabwe.
During the booking process, Zimba Car Hire were always very prompt about replying to my (many) queries, and the booking and payment system worked perfectly.
Delivery of the vehicle to our hotel, and collection of it at the end from the airport were both seamless.
The car itself worked great. My only negative comment was that we hadn't checked the light that shines on the rear number plate and somehow the police at the roadblocks picked up on it being broken, even though we were only ever driving in daylight. As a result we got a couple of $10 fines but Zimba Car Hire refunded those fines without hesitation on production of the fines receipts. I would be perfectly happy to recommend the firm to anyone else looking to hire a car in Zimbabwe. And actually, coming from the UK, we found driving round Zimbabwe much easier than we had expected - the roads are wide and good, and the volume of traffic is generally light.
