If i could give 6 stars I would!! The team went out of there way to make my journey possible!! You will not find this service at the bigger car rental companies.

A really serious car rental company. We had a car for a week and it was perfect! They let us leave the car at the airport even if their office was in Lilongwe. David the boss was super!

Have used Ambassador Car Hire a couple of times when we had to take a fun trip out of town with friends, I was quite impressed with their service and their cars. I would definately recommend them to anyone.
