Are you looking for one-way car rental options in Tanzania (where you pick up a vehicle in one city and drop it off in another), here are some key points to consider: https://www.selfdrivetanzania.com

International rental companies (e.g., Europcar, Avis, Hertz) may offer one-way rentals but often with high drop-off fees.
Some 4x4 safari rental specialists might allow one-way rentals between major cities (e.g., Dar es Salaam to Arusha), but usually at an extra cost.
2. Popular One-Way Rental Routes
Dar es Salaam → Arusha/Moshi (for Kilimanjaro or safari trips)
Arusha → Dar es Salaam (after a Northern Circuit safari)
Dar es Salaam → Zanzibar (requires ferry transport for the vehicle)
Mwanza → Arusha/Dar es Salaam (after a Lake Victoria trip)
