Hire your car in Madagascar with a driver -guide

Are you looking for an adventurous 4x4 roadtrip in Madagascar but do you feel unsure about driving? Then rent a car with a local driver!

Having a tour guide and driver all-in-1 is a great option for roadtrippers who want to remain in charge of their holiday and itinerary yet prefer someone else to do the driving. At the same time, being accompanied by a local driver-guide means learning more about the local culture and wildlife in Madagascar while you travel. No stress, difficulties or long hours behind the wheel; your local driver is there to facilitate and ease your travels.

All suggested itineraries on our website can be booked as a guided tour with driver. The costs for a local driver are €30 per day.
