Renting a car provides flexibility and convenience, allowing visitors to easily navigate through the city and reach various tourist destinations. Unlike relying solely on public transport, car hire ensures independence and the ability to create customised itineraries. With a Maseru car hire, you can easily visit popular attractions such as the Basotho Hat and Mohale Dam. Additionally, you can explore stunning landscapes, such as the Maletsunyane Falls and the Sehlabathebe National Park, at your own pace.
  • The closest airport to Maseru, Lesotho, is Moshoeshoe International Airport (MSU). This airport offers car hire services conveniently located within the terminal building, eliminating the need for a shuttle. Several well-known car hire companies operate at Moshoeshoe International Airport, including Avis, Europcar, and Hertz. Upon arrival, travellers can easily find the car hire desks in the Arrivals area of the airport. Renting a car directly from the airport allows visitors to start their journey in Maseru without any additional transportation hassle, providing a seamless and convenient experience from the moment they land.
  • Driving a car hire in Maseru, Lesotho, offers a unique experience for visitors. The locals in Maseru often drive a variety of cars, including sedans, hatchbacks, and SUVs. The roads in Maseru vary in quality, with major roads and highways generally well-maintained, but some smaller roads may have potholes or uneven surfaces. It is important to drive with caution and be mindful of the road conditions. In Lesotho, driving is done on the left side of the road.
  • Driving a car hire in Maseru can present some challenges. One of the main difficulties is the heavy traffic during rush hour, which typically occurs between 07:00 to 09:00 and 16:00 to 18:00 on weekdays. During these peak times, certain roads, like Kingsway and Moshoeshoe Road, can become congested, leading to delays and slower travel times. Additionally, Maseru experiences peak tourist season from October to April, resulting in increased traffic and potential congestion near popular attractions such as the Royal Palace and Thaba-Bosiu. It is advisable to plan your journeys accordingly, allowing extra time for potential traffic and exploring alternative routes if necessary.
