A POTUS airport transfer is a meet-and-greet service: your chauffeur waits at arrivals at Livingstone (LVI) or Lusaka (KKIA), and LVI sits about 10 minutes from town.
Arrivals set the tone for a trip, which is why we treat the airport kerb as the front door of the holiday. POTUS Rentals & Tours has run transfers and chauffeured movements from Livingstone and Lusaka since 2018, for everyone from honeymooning couples to IMF and GIZ delegations.
What happens when you land at LVI?
Harry Mwanga Nkumbula International Airport sits about 10 minutes from Livingstone town, so the transfer is short — the service is the point. Your chauffeur waits at arrivals with a name board, helps with the luggage and drives you straight to your hotel, lodge or apartment. Flying out, we collect you with a comfortable margin for check-in; the desk runs round the clock in both directions.
We are at arrivals before you are — name board up, vehicle ready, itinerary confirmed. The trip starts the moment you clear the doors.

How does the Lusaka (KKIA) meet and greet work?
Lusaka arrivals get the same protocol at Kenneth Kaunda International Airport. We meet international connections, run city transfers and business movements, and stage onward travel — whether that is a Lusaka itinerary or connecting you towards Livingstone for the falls. One WhatsApp thread covers both airports, so multi-city trips keep a single point of contact.
Which vehicle collects you?
Match the vehicle to the party:
- Executive arrivals — Mercedes-Benz C-Class or E-Class, from $250 per day
- Families and small groups — Toyota Alphard MPV or Toyota Quantum, quoted on request
- Delegations and conference groups — Toyota Coaster bus, from $400 per day
- Safari-bound guests — Toyota Hilux 4×4, from $150 per day, ready for the gravel beyond town
- Value self-drive handover — standard saloons from K400 per day, insurance included, met at the airport
What does protocol-trained actually mean?
It means the driving is the smallest part of the job. Our chauffeurs are trained for protocol work — the etiquette, discretion and timing that VVIP, diplomatic and executive movements demand — under a standard we publish in three words: Respectful. Confidential. Reliable.
It is why ministries have trusted us to host visiting influencer delegations, and why organisations like the International Monetary Fund and GIZ keep our number for their Zambian movements. The same chauffeur who meets a minister meets your family — the standard does not flex.
How much does a transfer cost, and how do you book?
Transfer rates are quoted per journey, on request — vehicle, party size and timing move the number, so we would rather send a personalised proforma than publish a misleading flat fee. All rates are starting-from, confirmed at booking and subject to vehicle availability.
Booking takes three lines: flight number, arrival date, party size. Send them on WhatsApp +260 955 747 769 or through our booking page; we reply with the proforma, and payment by bank transfer, mobile money or POS confirms the vehicle — no card details captured online.
What about transfers in Lusaka?
Many visitors reach Livingstone via Lusaka, and POTUS meets you at both ends. At Kenneth Kaunda International Airport in Lusaka our uniformed chauffeurs provide the same name-board meet-and-greet, whether you need a straight transfer to a city hotel, a day of meetings on a corporate account, or an onward drive south. Because we operate in both cities daily, a single booking can carry you from a Lusaka arrival through to a Livingstone falls holiday and back, on one account with consolidated invoicing — the kind of seamless logistics that wins us corporate and diplomatic clients. Add a self-drive saloon from K400 per day at either end and you have a car and a driver arranged before you have collected your luggage.
Frequently asked questions
How far is Livingstone’s airport from town?
Harry Mwanga Nkumbula International (LVI) is about 10 minutes from Livingstone town, and the falls-side hotels are a short onward run from there.
What happens if my flight is delayed?
Send your flight number when you book and we plan around the schedule. The concierge desk runs round the clock, so a late arrival still finds a name board waiting.
Can I collect a self-drive car at the airport?
Yes — airport meet and greet at LVI or KKIA includes self-drive handovers. Standard saloons start from K400 per day with insurance included and fuel excluded.
What is the cancellation policy?
Bookings cancelled 60–45 days out carry a 25% charge; 45–30 days, 50%; 29–15 days, 75%; 14–1 day, 100%. No-shows are charged in full — so tell us early if plans move.
Do you handle transfers during the stay too?
Yes — activity collections, dinner runs and full-day chauffeured movements all sit on the same proforma as your airport legs. One desk, one plan, door to door.
