As a developing country, Madagascar presents all those typical challenges that make traveling more difficult than in other parts of the world.
This includes not only the often very poor roads and tracks, which can change their course from year to year in some areas.
Signage and assistance for travelers are also almost always lacking.
There are always Madagascar enthusiasts who are determined to rent a car to drive themselves.
Their experiences in countries like Namibia, South Africa, or elsewhere lead them to the insane belief that they can also easily reach their destination in Madagascar as a self-driver.
Since in most cases a 4x4 vehicle is required and these individuals only have a rudimentary understanding of how to operate such vehicles, the misconception arises that an individual drive with a rental car is an appealing alternative.
On Tag, we select the appropriate vehicle type and driver for you, ensuring you travel safely throughout the country.
The prices listed below are valid for paved roads and light trails; for more challenging trail tours, the price will be calculated on an individual basis.

Why You Should Rent a Car with Driver (Tag) in MadagascarIt's no coincidence that hardly anyone rents a car without a driver in Madagascar. In addition to the numerous road controls by uniformed individuals looking to make a quick buck by claiming there's an issue with your vehicle papers, there's also the inconvenience of potential breakdowns or impassable routes. Without a driver who can quickly order help and spare parts with his mobile phone, you could find yourself in a difficult situation! The cost of the driver is minimal and is already included in the rental price, so you won't even notice it. We only employ reliable and competent drivers who know the country and its people, and speak at least one language spoken by our guests fluently. For an extra fee, you can also have a German-speaking tour guide join your trip. We take the technical condition of our vehicles very seriously, as comfort and safety are essential for a successful journey. Our vehicles are meticulously maintained and cared for, unlike the beat-up cars driven by many others in the country that may or may not get you to your destination. |

Why You Should Consider Renting a Car with a Driver for Your Day!While the driver can assist with hotel reservations and general logistics, they are not a tour guide who will take care of the complete planning and logistics of your trip. In remote areas, it is easy to get lost and run into serious trouble. GPS is not always reliable, especially since there are no precise, detailed maps available! In towns and outside of them, you may encounter people, poultry, dogs, and other inhabitants of the red island on the road. The risk of an accident is much higher than in Europe! As a white tourist, you could find yourself in serious trouble in such a situation. This could potentially lead to imprisonment and huge costs! |

Required Documents and ProofA document confirming that you are of legal age. Regarding the deposit and required documents, we recommend sending them to us by email after making your reservation. This way, we will be able to quickly validate and confirm them. It is also a security measure to prevent identity theft when picking up the car.
