ZimTravelBook is Zimbabwe's peer-to-peer car hire platform — connecting local car owners with diaspora travellers and visitors who need a reliable, affordable way to move around the country they love.
Every Zimbabwean who has come home from abroad knows the arrival experience. You land in Harare after a long flight. You're tired. You have luggage. And the first thing you face is the taxi rank — overpriced, unpredictable, and nothing like the freedom of having your own car.
Getting around Zimbabwe as a returning visitor has always involved more friction than it should. Meanwhile, local car owners have vehicles they're not always using — assets sitting idle while demand exists.
ZimTravelBook bridges that gap. We connect people who have cars they're not always using with people who need a reliable vehicle when they land. It works for both sides — owners earn USD income on their schedule, renters get a better experience at a better price.
We are Zimbabwean. We understand what homecoming means. And we built this platform for that exact moment — when you step off the plane and Zimbabwe is waiting.
We believe every Zimbabwean should be able to move around their own country with dignity, ease, and at a fair price. Whether you're coming home for Christmas, visiting family in Bulawayo, or exploring the country for the first time — ZimTravelBook is built for you.
For car owners, we offer something rare — a legitimate, structured way to earn USD income from an asset they already own, without any of the uncertainty of informal arrangements.
Zimbabwe's diaspora has deep roots in the country and comes home regularly — for Christmas, for family, for business, for the love of the place. ZimTravelBook gives you a seamless experience when you arrive — a reliable car waiting, paid for before you land, from a verified local owner.
ZimTravelBook is peer-to-peer car hire — a model that puts local owners and travellers at the centre. Here's what that means in practice.
Every car on ZimTravelBook is owned and managed by a verified local. You get a personal, community-driven experience — and your money stays in Zimbabwe.
Self-drive car hire from $35 per day. Every fee shown clearly before you book — daily rate, platform fee, any optional charges. No surprises at checkout.
Send payment via Remitly from the UK, US or Canada. Pay by Visa or Mastercard internationally through Paynow. Or pay locally via EcoCash or Paynow.
Harare, Bulawayo, Victoria Falls, Mutare and Gweru — with more cities being added. Find a car wherever your journey takes you.
Owners keep 85% of every booking. Set your own rate, your own availability, your own rules. No long-term commitments. Earn on your own schedule.
Digital condition checklists with photos at pickup and return. All communication through the platform. No personal contact details shared. Full dispute support by ZimTravelBook.
We currently operate in 5 cities with more coming soon. If you're a car owner in a city not listed — get in touch. We're expanding.
Whether you're landing in Harare at midnight after a 14-hour flight, driving to a family funeral in Bulawayo, or exploring the roads around Victoria Falls with your children for the first time — we want that experience to be seamless.
Zimbabwe deserves a car hire platform built with it in mind. Not adapted from a Western model. Not corporate and impersonal. Something that understands the country, the people, and what it means to come home.
That's what ZimTravelBook is. And we're just getting started.
