Ivato & Antananarivo<\/h2>\n

We advise you to start (and end) your roadtrip in Ivato – just a few minutes from the international airport and our local office.<\/h4>\n

We don\u2019t<\/em> recommend picking up or dropping off the car in Antananarivo and to drive through the city yourself. The capital is busy, chaotic, and tricky to navigate. Think: no street names, limited signage, endless one-ways, and heavy traffic. Not the best way to start your trip.<\/h4>\n

Want to explore Antananarivo? No problem. Base yourself in Ivato and take a taxi into Antananarivo for the day. Or spend a night in the city and return by taxi the next day.<\/h4>\n

Good to know<\/strong>: We don\u2019t offer car deliveries or returns in Antananarivo itself, only in Ivato.<\/h4><\/div>\n\t <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Where to stay in Ivato<\/h2> \t

Ivato is where Madagascar’s international airport is located. The city has a good range of hotels and guesthouses nearby. We can deliver your car straight to your hotel (\u20ac10) and do the handover on-site, so you can hit the road without stress.<\/p>\n

Tip<\/strong>: Got a late flight home? Savanna Caf\u00e9<\/em> is a great spot for a relaxed dinner and a final drink before heading to the airport.<\/p>\n
