The Mercedes-Benz C-Class is the executive saloon of the POTUS fleet — chauffeur-driven or self-drive luxury for four passengers and two bags, starting from $250 per day.
Some journeys are about the destination; this one is about the arrival. POTUS Rentals & Tours has run the C-Class for executive clients across Livingstone and Lusaka since 2018, and it remains the car the desk reaches for when the brief says the passenger must step out looking exactly as composed as they stepped in.
Who hires the C-Class?
Business executives make up the core of its diary — collected at Kenneth Kaunda International in Lusaka or Harry Mwanga Nkumbula International in Livingstone, then moved between meetings on a schedule that does not slip. Our client list includes the International Monetary Fund, GIZ, Prospero Zambia and PPAZ, and the C-Class has served them all.
Wedding couples book it as the couple’s car: a clean, elegant saloon that photographs beautifully and delivers the two of you on time. Four passengers and two bags is exactly right for a bride, a groom and the people who keep them calm.
VVIP visitors round out the picture. For ministries hosting influencer delegations or for private guests who prefer to travel quietly, the C-Class strikes the balance between presence and discretion that this work demands.
The diary splits evenly between our two home cities. In Lusaka the C-Class works the corporate calendar — airport arrivals, board meetings, evening functions — while in Livingstone it carries guests to riverfront dinners and hotel forecourts with the same polish. One company, one standard, both cities since 2018.
What does chauffeur service look like?
Our chauffeurs are trained for service that goes beyond the wheel. Doors are handled, luggage is handled, timings are watched, and the day’s changes are absorbed without fuss — the concierge desk stands behind every journey, round the clock.
Timing is treated as part of the service rather than a bonus. Your chauffeur plans the route before you sit down, watches the day as it moves, and keeps the desk informed so a delayed meeting never becomes a missed flight.
Discretion is the discipline underneath it all. What is said in the car stays in the car, which is one reason diplomats and executives keep returning to this saloon in particular.
Respectful. Confidential. Reliable.

How much does the C-Class cost?
Rates start from $250 per day, and at POTUS the phrase carries its full meaning: every rate is negotiable, and long hires earn discounts of up to 60%. A week of boardroom transfers is priced very differently from a single wedding day, and your quotation reflects that.
Wedding hires are quoted with the whole day in mind rather than by the hour — collection points, photograph stops and the evening return all go into one personalised proforma, so the couple signs one document and never thinks about transport again.
The process is simple — send your dates, receive a personalised proforma quotation, confirm, and pay by bank transfer, mobile money or POS. No card details are ever captured online, and most quotations go out the same day the request arrives.
If your itinerary calls for a second saloon, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class partners naturally with the C-Class on delegation work — same marque, same standard, one seamless convoy.
What is included in every hire?
The daily rate carries the essentials of a serious executive service, so the quotation you approve is the cost you plan around:
- Limited collision-damage and theft insurance on every hire
- Professional chauffeur or self-drive — your choice
- Airport meet and greet at LVI in Livingstone or KKIA in Lusaka
- Round-the-clock concierge support on +260 955 747 769
- A personalised proforma quotation before any commitment
Fuel is excluded from the rate. For airport work that matters less than you might think — LVI is roughly 10 minutes from Livingstone town, and our wider services cover transfers, accommodation and full destination management around the car.
Cancellation terms are printed on every quotation: 25% applies 60 to 45 days before travel, 50% at 45 to 30 days, 75% at 29 to 15 days, and 100% within 14 days or for a no-show. Weddings and state visits are planned months out, which is exactly when the gentlest bands apply.
Booking your C-Class
Reserving the C-Class takes one message: send POTUS your dates, your choice of chauffeur or self-drive, and your pick-up point, and a personalised quotation follows the same day. A refundable deposit confirms the booking, self-drive hirers present a valid licence, and payment is by bank transfer, mobile money or POS. For weddings, VVIP arrivals and executive transfers we recommend the chauffeured option, with a uniformed driver trained in airport protocol and defensive driving. Rates are negotiable and always framed as starting-from, so a quick enquiry is always worthwhile — and one concierge desk stays with your booking from quotation to key handover.
