The Toyota Mark X is the value saloon of the POTUS fleet — self-drive car hire from as low as K400 per day, with four seats, three bags and insurance included.
Executive hire has a reputation for executive pricing, and the Mark X is our standing argument against it. POTUS Rentals & Tours keeps this standard saloon on the books in Lusaka and Livingstone precisely so that a sensible daily rate never has to mean a shabby car or a thin service.
How much does the Mark X cost?
From as low as K400 per day on our Lusaka self-drive reference rate — the honest floor of the POTUS fleet, not a teaser. The figure includes limited collision-damage and theft insurance and excludes fuel, and like every rate in the house it is negotiable around your dates and duration.
Duration is where the arithmetic gets friendly. Long hires attract discounts of up to 60%, and a month on the standard-saloon reference works out around K13,500 — the cost equation fleet managers redo twice and then sign.
For calibration across the fleet: the Hilux 4×4 starts from $150 per day and the luxury saloons from $250, which is precisely why the K400 standard saloon exists — the same POTUS standard at the gentlest entry point. Negotiation is welcome rather than tolerated; tell the desk your budget and the quotation is shaped to meet it, never the other way round.
Respectful. Confidential. Reliable.
POTUS Rentals & Tours
Who is it for?
Business travellers on their own account, first — consultants and visiting professionals who need a week of independent mobility between meetings without a chauffeur line on the expense sheet. Four seats and three bags cover the person, the colleague and the sample cases.
Returning residents and visiting family come next: collect at Kenneth Kaunda International in Lusaka or Harry Mwanga Nkumbula International in Livingstone — about 10 minutes from town — and run errands, reunions and school gates at your own pace for as long as the visit lasts. The boot takes three bags, which is a homecoming’s worth.
Chauffeur-driven hire is available on the same car for guests who would rather be driven — the option appears on your quotation priced beside self-drive, so the comparison is yours to make. When the brief eventually calls for something grander, the desk simply moves you up the fleet, with the Toyota Allion standing beside it at the same reference rate.
What does K400 a day include?
The rate is lean; the service is not. Every Mark X hire carries:
- Limited collision-damage and theft insurance on every hire
- Self-drive as standard, or a professional chauffeur on request
- Airport meet and greet at KKIA in Lusaka or LVI in Livingstone
- Round-the-clock concierge support on +260 955 747 769
- A personalised proforma quotation before you commit
Fuel is excluded, and self-drivers need a valid driving licence with the remaining terms confirmed on the quotation. Nothing else hides in the number — the proforma states the whole cost before you commit, which is the entire point of the flow.
How do you book and pay?
The same courteous flow as the rest of the fleet: send a request, receive a personalised proforma quotation, confirm, and pay by bank transfer, mobile money or POS. No card details are ever captured online, and most Mark X quotations return the same day.
WhatsApp is the fastest route on +260 955 747 769, with +260 955 528 915 as the second line and info@potusrentals.com for written confirmations — three doors to the same desk, and the contact page holds them all.
Cancellation terms print on every quotation: 25% at 60 to 45 days before travel, 50% at 45 to 30 days, 75% at 29 to 15 days, and 100% inside 14 days or for a no-show. On a saloon this affordable, booking early is the easiest saving of all.
How the Mark X hire works
Booking the Mark X takes a single message: tell POTUS your dates, your pick-up point and whether you want self-drive or a chauffeur, and a personalised quotation follows the same day. A refundable deposit secures the car, self-drive hirers provide a valid licence, and the balance settles by bank transfer, mobile money or POS. A smart, economical saloon, it is ideal for city running, business travel and self-drive around Livingstone and Lusaka, with rates from K400 per day. Long hires attract discounts of up to 60%, and monthly lets run from about K13,500. Because the rate we quote is always a negotiable starting point rather than a fixed price, a quick enquiry to the concierge desk is worthwhile every time — tell us how long you need the car and how far you plan to travel, and we will tailor the rate to suit.
