Terms
How a booking through Kusicar works, in the plainest words we can find. Several clauses a full set of terms would carry are not written yet, and they are named below instead of improvised.
Who you are dealing with
Two companies, and it matters which is which.
- Kusicar is a booking and service agent. We take your request, confirm the car, prepare your documents and answer support for the whole rental
- Kibabu Cars supplies the car. They own it, insure it, hand it over, take it back, collect payment onsite and issue the receipt
- Kusicar owns no vehicles and does not rent one to you. The rental itself is between you and the company that supplies the car
- We say this on every page rather than in the small print, because it is the arrangement, not a technicality
Who supplies the car, and what is known about them, is on the provider disclosure page.
What you get, and what it costs
One car, one rate, and no charge for the airport at either end.
- The car
- A self-drive Toyota RAV4One price for any RAV4 in the fleet. You are not quoted for the smallest one and handed a different one at the airport.
- The rate
- 40 USD per dayPer rental day, with unlimited mileage within Zanzibar.
- Collection and return
- At the airport, both waysThere is no delivery to a hotel or a beach, in either direction. This is the whole offer, not the cheapest tier of it.
- The driving permit
- Filed before you landEvery driver needs the Zanzibar permit, and it is charged separately.
Everything charged outside the daily rate is written out on prices. You are told your total, and the currency, in writing before you travel.
Paying
Nothing is charged on this website, at any point.
- Nothing is charged now. No card details are collected or stored here
- No prepayment is required to hold a car
- You pay at handover and receive a receipt. You get their receipt
- We never ask you to pay us instead of the company supplying the car. If anyone does, message us before you pay
What is not stated in this document
These are the clauses a complete set of terms would carry. Each is open, and we would rather you knew that before you book than discover it in a dispute.
- Cancelling or changing a booking
- Being confirmedNo cancellation or amendment rule is stated in this document, and none should be read into it. We are not stating a cancellation policy yet. Ask on WhatsApp before you reserve and we will tell you what applies to your dates.
- What the insurance covers
- Being confirmedThis document does not describe what the insurance covers, what it excludes or what the excess is. The rental agreement you sign at handover is what states that. The car is insured, and the terms are confirmed with you at handover before you sign. We have seen more than one description of what that cover includes, so we are getting it in writing before we publish it here.
- The excess
- Being confirmedThe excess is not confirmed. We will not guess at it.
- Deposit and damage terms
- No security deposit is takenThat part is settled. The damage terms themselves are in the agreement you sign at handover, and they are confirmed with you before you sign it.
- Governing law and jurisdiction
- Being confirmedWe are not naming a governing law or a place of jurisdiction here. Which applies depends on where the operating company is established and on the rules that protect consumers where you live, and it is not ours to assert casually.
- Limits on liability
- None are statedAnd none should be read into their absence. A limitation clause is not something to improvise.
What we commit to today
Short, and every line of it is something already built rather than something intended.
- Your total, and the currency, in writing before you travel
- The car checked and road-tested before every handover
- Photographs taken with you at handover and at return, so a disagreement about damage is settled by a record rather than by memory
- One support thread, on one number, from the day you reserve to the day you hand the car back
- Written confirmation at return, or a provisional receipt naming the exact open issue
Your details
What we handle, where it is kept and who else touches it is on privacy. Who operates this site is on the imprint, which is being completed at the same time as this page.
Ask before you book, not after
