4x4 car rental in Madagascar

Are you ready for the ultimate self-drive adventure in Madagascar? Our fleet of cars in Madagascar offers two options to fit your budget and travelling style:

The Nissan Navara - bought new between 2022 and 2024.
The Nissan NP300 - bought new between 2019 and 2022

With increased clearance and bigger wheels, our rental vehicles can handle any rough or rugged terrain you or your driver-guide may encounter in Madagascar.

Planning to cruise down the RN7 from Antananarivo to Tulear or explore the North of Madagascar? Then our Nissan NP300 is your best value for money. When covering more off-road terrain (West Coast, Tsingy de Bemaraha), you need our newest and most powerful car in our rental fleet, which is the Navara.

At Roadtrip Africa, we own all of our rental cars and never subcontract from third parties. Each vehicle is serviced at our workshop after every trip. In the unlikely event that you have a breakdown, rest assured that we offer 24/7 roadside assistance and always have a replacement vehicle available.

Jan from the Czech Republic

We spent three weeks on a road trip on Madagascar. If you want try to compare the price with standard rental companies don't do that. Their services are perfect and cars are really prepared for off-road journeys!
