About
Yarutso Car Rental works from Downie Avenue in central Harare and is one of the city's most reviewed hire firms, rated 4.7 from nearly 500 Google reviews. It suits visitors home for the holidays as well as travellers planning a long self-drive route.
Bookings mostly run over WhatsApp, and reviewers say replies come quickly. Airport delivery and collection come up again and again, including one early start where the car was dropped off the night before without an extra day being charged. One customer who booked an X-Trail was upgraded to a Hilux at no extra cost, and found the contract simple and the deposit refunded on the spot. A visitor from the UK took a Hilux for 16 days, from the Eastern Highlands via Great Zimbabwe and the Matobo tracks to Hwange, with drop-off in Victoria Falls, and says it handled the rough roads and the handover went as planned.
That same driver found the rates reasonable rather than cheap, and the car maintained well enough rather than spotless. You pay at a small office in town. One customer received their car with an almost empty tank.
