Tips for border crossing

A cross border road trip or vacation is an exciting expedition to embark on, but the idea of crossing borders into a string of countries in a car rental can be intimidating, especially if you are not prepared with the required documentation.

However, the verification process can be far easier than you expect if you meet the right requirements. We have shared some tips below on cross border car rental trips—things you must know to avoid unnecessary delays or, even worse, being denied border entry:

International driver’s license

You will be required to produce a valid international driver’s license or national driver’s permit for gaining border entry into another country as well as driving in the country. You may be stopped by a roadblock while driving in the country, and you will have to show your permit. You may also have a local driver’s license, which is applicable to the East African Community. It is also recognized if you already have one.

A valid passport

You will be required to possess a valid passport with your face on it and should have at least three blank pages. East African residents with the East African passports may not require possessing a visa to travel to neighbouring countries.

Visa requirements for other African countries which are not members of the East African community have also been eased of recent, which eases movement within. Foreign residents are encouraged to book the East African Tourist Visa which costs $100. It will allow them to travel within the East African member states, i.e., Rwanda, Tanzania and Kenya with a single-entry visa.

You should also travel with an emergency document other than a valid passport or national identity card (ID) to save you from any potential delays at the entry port. You are advised to check the country-specific visa requirements of the country(ies) you intend to travel to and apply for a visa no less than 4 weeks before your travel date.

Vehicle registration or license papers

A certified copy of your vehicle registration or license papers will be required at the border station to give you access to your rental car. You should possess a letter of authorization from the rental company to accompany the license papers, which permit you to take the vehicle over the border. You should clearly indicate the exact dates of travel on the document. You should be sure to check if a police clearance certificate may be required.

Insurance policy

You should ensure that the rental car handed over to you is covered under an insurance policy. This will help you should something happen to the vehicle during your travels. The insurance policy through the car rental company will be responsible for covering any accidental damage or loss.

Stickers and reflective tape

When traveling in some countries, you may be required to have particular stickers and reflective tape on the bumpers, especially if you are traveling with a caravan or trailer. It is equally important to check the requirements of the country you will be driving to so that you are in a position to adhere to them.

Cash

Remember to carry some cash with you to pay for any border crossing charges because not all places have ATMs. If they do, there’s a likely chance that they will be offline, and you won’t have access to your funds since the card won’t work. In such a case, you don’t want to find yourself looking for an ATM in the middle of the night. So, you would rather have some cash on hand, preferably the US dollar, if you can’t immediately find local currency.
