Be careful when driving in Zambia as it can be hazardous.

You will also find lots of motorcycles in Zambia, which can make turning precarious, so be sure to check your mirrors regularly.
You need to be at least 21 years old to rent a car in Zambia and have held your license for a minimum of 12 months. The license should also have no major incidents on it. If you’re under 25 years old, you will have to pay a young driver’s surcharge, and you'll also be restricted on the model and type of the vehicle you can rent.
A gallon of gas costs about 95 ZMW (5.60 USD) in Zambia, with a liter costing around 25 ZMW (1.50 USD). The currency in Zambia is the Zambian Kwacha; the conversion rate is about 17 ZMW to the U.S. dollar. You should remember that most of the gas stations in this country are located in the major cities. So if you’re going on a road trip or heading into the countryside, you should ensure you have enough gas for your journey.
The speed limits in Zambia are in kilometers, unlike the U.S., which uses miles. In cities and urban areas, the maximum speed limit is 50 km/h (31 mph). On country roads and highways, the top limit is 100 km/h (62 mph). Both fixed and mobile speed cameras are used in Zambia. If you are caught speeding, your rental agency will charge you for the fine as well as an administrative fee. In addition, they are obliged to pass your details over to the travel authorities.
