Car rental in Tanga | 4×4 Safari Vehicle Hire | Camper Vehicle Ranter | Ngorongoro | Serengeti | Moshi | Arusha | Tanzania Car Hire |
When hiring a car in Tanga with Serengeti Trips you have three options to fit your budget and travelling style: Comfort – the Toyota Hilux, Classic – the Land Cruiser, and Budget – the Toyota RAV4.
The Land Cruiser and RAV4 are reliable 4×4 vehicles widely used in Tanga and perfect for self-drive tours. The Toyota Hilux is the newer and most comfortable option, and more likely to meet expectations for roadtrippers with safari experience in Tanzania.
We own all our rental cars in Tanga and we never subcontract from third parties. Each car is serviced at our workshop after every trip and we have a close network of upcountry workshops for minor onsite repairs. In case you have a breakdown, rest assured that we offer 24/7 roadside assistance and always have a replacement vehicle ready.
