If the rental agency does not provide them, then you are responsible for acquiring them yourself.

Requirements for car rental

Most car rental agencies in the DRC operate strict criteria for car rentals. In some exceptional circumstances, and usually accompanied by a hefty deposit and hefty excess charges for damage and accidents, car rental agencies may accept drivers below the age of twenty five, but most require that the driver(s) of the vehicle are at least twenty five years of age and some even stipulate that the person must have held a full driving license for a minimum time period, between two and five years.

Ask the sales agent or check the small print on the rental agreement for details. Most car rental agencies will attempt to pre-authorize an amount from your credit card before they will rent a car to you.

If you do not have a credit card then you will not be able to rent a car. You must proffer a valid credit card for this procedure as debit cards are not accepted.
