Our fleet
Our car rental fleet in Madagascar consists of two 4x4 categories: the Nissan Double Cab (heavy) and the smaller Nissan X-Trail / Toyota Prado / Toyota RAV4, referred to as the regular 4x4 category. The Double Cab is new and with its increased clearance and bigger wheels, able to handle any terrain. The regular 4x4 vehicles are the best value for money if you are planning to cruise down the RN7, or north towards Nosy Be and Diego Suarez.
We own all our vehicles and never subcontract from third parties. Each car is serviced at our own workshop after every trip. In the unlikely event that you have a breakdown, rest assured that we offer 24/7 roadside assistance and have a replacement vehicle ready. For security, all our vehicles are equipped with car trackers and a panic button. In the unlikely event that you get stuck in the middle of nowhere without any phone/internet signal, we can still locate you.

Which car would you like to rent for your road trip in Madagascar?
Car rental add ons: camping gear and driver-guides
Hire a car with camping gear
Compared to our other roadtrip destinations (Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania), cheap accommodation is easy to find in Madagascar. Nevertheless, camping gear does come in handy, particularly during peak season (July-Sept), when many of the lodges along the RN7 are fully booked long in advance. Keep in mind that camping possibilities are less widespread in Madagascar than in our other destinations, especially along the west coast. Wild camping in Madagascar is not a sensible thing to do with only two people.
We can equip the Nissan Double Cab with a rooftop tent, or you can hire a dome tent. Both options come with a full set of quality camping gear, consisting of mattress, sleeping bag, headlights, cooking equipment, table, chairs and everything else you need on your camping tour of Madagascar.
| Camp gear set with ground tent | €5 pp/day |
| Camp set with roof top tent (Double Cab only) | €20 car /day |

Check campgear listHire a car with driver
All of our drivers are skilled, flexible, experienced, helpful and most of all pleasant company. The cost of hiring a driver is €35/ day – this also covers his meals and accommodation. The driver will always sort these out himself. Most lodges have a drivers’ section and provide accommodation and meals for free. When you travel into a national park with a driver, you will also have to pay their entrance fee of €2 - €5 / day, depending on the park.
The driver is responsible for the wellbeing of the car, and the security bond will no longer apply.
