Comprehensive insuranceExcess applies
Malawi useCross-border by consent
By booking or collecting a vehicle you agree to the terms below. The signed rental agreement for your booking takes priority where they differ.
"Company" means Elite Kingdom Car Hire. "Hirer" means the person or organisation renting a vehicle. "Vehicle" means the car supplied under the rental agreement. "Rental Period" runs from the time of collection or delivery until the Vehicle is returned to the Company.
The Hirer must hold a valid driving licence (and an International Driving Permit where the licence is not in English) with at least two years of driving experience, and present a valid national ID or passport. Only drivers named in the rental agreement may drive the Vehicle.
Bookings are confirmed once the Company acknowledges the request and any required deposit is received. Rates are quoted per day or per agreed period and may vary by vehicle, season and mileage. Payment is due in advance unless a corporate credit account has been agreed in writing.
A refundable security deposit may be required at collection. It is returned after the Vehicle is inspected on return, less any outstanding charges such as fuel, fines, damage, cleaning or late return.
The Vehicle must be driven lawfully and with care. It must not be used for racing, towing, carrying passengers or goods for reward, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or on roads not suited to the vehicle type. The Vehicle must not be taken outside Malawi without the Company's prior written consent.
Vehicles are supplied with fuel as stated in the rental agreement and should be returned at the same level. Mileage limits, where applicable, are stated in the agreement; additional kilometres are charged at the agreed rate.
All Vehicles carry comprehensive insurance. The Hirer remains responsible for the insurance excess, and for loss or damage not covered by the policy, including damage caused by negligence, breach of these terms, or driving by an unauthorised person. Personal belongings are left in the Vehicle at the Hirer's own risk.
In case of an accident, breakdown or theft the Hirer must contact the Company immediately, report any accident or theft to the police, and not admit liability. The Company will arrange repair or a replacement vehicle where possible.
The Hirer is responsible for all traffic fines, tolls and penalties incurred during the Rental Period, and the Company may charge the Hirer an administration fee for handling them.
Where a driver is provided, the driver remains under the Company's direction. Overtime or extra distance outside the agreed schedule may be charged. Passengers must treat the driver and Vehicle with respect and follow reasonable safety instructions.
Please give as much notice as possible to change or cancel a booking. Cancellations made at short notice, or no-shows, may forfeit part or all of the deposit. Extensions are subject to availability and must be agreed before the original return time.
Vehicles returned late may be charged extra hours or an additional day at the applicable rate. The Company may recover a Vehicle that is not returned as agreed.
The Company may end a rental immediately, without refund, if the Hirer breaches these terms or uses the Vehicle unsafely or unlawfully.
Personal information supplied for a booking is used only to process the rental, meet legal requirements and communicate with the Hirer, and is not sold to third parties.
These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Malawi. The Company may update them from time to time; the version in force at the time of booking applies. Questions can be sent to .
