Car Rental at Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport

Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport (HRE) is Zimbabwe’s main international gateway, about 15km south-east of central Harare. It is the arrival point for most visitors to the country and for Zimbabweans returning home.

Roamkin has no counter in the terminal. Cars are rented from local hosts, and pick-up at the airport is arranged directly with the host once your booking is confirmed — so it depends on that host agreeing to meet you there. Message the host through the platform before booking if an airport hand-over is essential to your plans.

• HRE is the arrival airport for Harare and most international flights into Zimbabwe
• Vehicles listed across Harare are within reach of the airport
• Airport hand-over is arranged with the individual host, not at a rental desk
• Choose your arrival date as the pick-up date so the host’s availability is checked against your flight

Arranging an airport pick-up

Set your pick-up date to your arrival date when you open a vehicle, then confirm the hand-over point with the host before your trip starts. Because hosts are individuals rather than a depot, an airport meeting is something to agree in advance rather than assume — some hosts will meet arrivals at the terminal, others prefer a hand-over in the city. Flight delays are worth mentioning to your host directly, since the booking runs on dates rather than flight times.
