Gear Up Digital Magazine | DriveIt Club Zimbabwe
“They represent the glory of technology, the essence of freedom.”
— Jeremy Clarkson, Top Gear
Driving in Zimbabwe is about much more than getting from one place to another. It can mean an airport arrival in Harare, a business trip across the city, a family journey, a weekend away or exploring more of Zimbabwe by road.
That's why DriveIt Car Rental has introduced Gear Up, a new digital magazine series created for members of the DriveIt Club.
Gear Up brings together useful driving information, travel inspiration, car rental knowledge and practical content in an easy-to-read digital format.
And for DriveIt Club members, the series is delivered as part of the growing DriveIt membership experience.

What Is Gear Up?
Gear Up is DriveIt Club's digital membership magazine series, designed around the interests and needs of motorists, travellers and DriveIt customers.
Rather than simply communicating rental promotions, Gear Up gives DriveIt an opportunity to provide customers with useful information before, during and after their journeys.
The magazine series can cover subjects such as:
Zimbabwe travel and road-trip ideas
Practical driving advice
Vehicle and car rental guidance
Road safety and vehicle care
Airport and travel information
DriveIt news and updates
DriveIt Club benefits and developments
Useful technology and tools for travellers
Gear Up Issue 1 marks the beginning of the series, with further editions planned as the DriveIt Club community grows.
Why Did DriveIt Create Gear Up?
Car rental is often treated as a once-off transaction: choose a vehicle, complete the rental and return it.
DriveIt wants to build something more useful around that relationship.
The DriveIt Club creates a way for customers to remain connected with DriveIt beyond an individual booking, while Gear Up gives the membership community useful content they can actually read and use.
It forms part of DriveIt's broader approach to creating a more connected digital customer experience.
Whether you're renting a vehicle in Harare, planning a Zimbabwe road trip or simply looking for useful information for your next journey, Gear Up is designed to keep you better informed.
What Can DriveIt Club Members Expect?
Gear Up isn't intended to be a static brochure.
Each issue can explore different aspects of travelling, driving and renting vehicles in Zimbabwe.
For example, future editions may help answer questions such as:
What should I know before renting a car in Zimbabwe?
From choosing an appropriate vehicle to understanding rental requirements, mileage allowances and collection arrangements, preparation can make the rental process considerably easier.
Which vehicle is best for travelling around Zimbabwe?
The answer depends on where you're travelling, how many passengers you have, the amount of luggage you're carrying and the type of roads you'll encounter.
A compact vehicle may make sense for everyday Harare travel, while an SUV, double cab or larger passenger vehicle may be more suitable for other journeys.
What should I consider when planning a Zimbabwe road trip?
Distance, fuel availability, road conditions, weather, mobile connectivity and the suitability of your vehicle should all form part of your planning.
These are exactly the kinds of practical subjects Gear Up can explore for DriveIt Club members.
More Than a Car Rental Company
DriveIt Car Rental has been serving customers in Zimbabwe since 2021 and provides a range of rental options for different travel requirements.
Customers can explore options ranging from economical hatchbacks and sedans through to SUVs, double cabs and larger passenger vehicles.
DriveIt also assists customers requiring solutions for:
Self-drive car rental – for customers wanting the freedom to travel independently.
Harare airport collection and transfers – helping travellers get moving after arriving in Zimbabwe.
Group transport – larger vehicle options for families, groups and organisations.
Chauffeur-driven services – for customers who would prefer not to drive themselves.
Gear Up allows DriveIt to extend that relationship beyond the rental itself.
What Is DriveIt Club?
DriveIt Club is DriveIt Car Rental's customer membership community.
The programme is being developed to provide members with a closer relationship with DriveIt, including access to the Gear Up digital magazine series and an evolving range of member-focused benefits.
As DriveIt Club develops, the objective is to recognise and reward customers who continue choosing DriveIt.
Gear Up forms an important part of that experience by giving members something useful even when they aren't currently renting a vehicle.
How Do I Get Gear Up Magazine?
Gear Up is being offered digitally to DriveIt Club members.
