Good to know

Everything you need to know before you arrive.

Travelling to Kenya for the first time? We've answered the questions we hear most often.

Yes. International visitors can self-drive in Kenya provided they have the required valid driving documents. If you are using an International Driving Permit, it should be accompanied by your valid domestic driving licence. We'll confirm your documents before your rental.

If you're visiting Kenya from abroad, we recommend travelling with an International Driving Permit alongside your valid domestic driving licence. Requirements can vary depending on the licence issued by your home country, so we'll confirm what you need before your pickup.

The security deposit depends on the vehicle category you choose. We'll let you know the exact deposit required for your vehicle before you confirm your rental, so there are no surprises.

Our rental vehicles are covered by comprehensive motor insurance. The exact terms, excess and exclusions depend on the vehicle and rental agreement, and we'll clearly explain these before you confirm your booking.

You can collect your car in Nairobi, including at JKIA. We can also arrange delivery to your hotel or another convenient location within Nairobi.

Absolutely. We can arrange delivery to JKIA, your hotel, or another convenient location within Nairobi. Just tell us where you'd like to meet us when making your request.

Yes, self-driving can be a great way to experience Kenya, especially when you want the freedom to explore at your own pace. We'll help you choose a vehicle suited to your plans and can also arrange a driver if you'd rather sit back and enjoy the journey.

It depends on your trip. A small or saloon car is great for getting around Nairobi, while an SUV gives you more space and comfort for road trips. For safari and rougher routes, we'd recommend a suitable 4×4. Not sure? Tell us about your trip and we'll recommend one.

We aim to keep our pricing competitive and straightforward. You'll see the daily rate for your chosen vehicle category upfront, and we'll confirm any applicable deposit or additional charges before your rental is confirmed.

If you experience a mechanical issue during your rental, contact us and we'll guide you through the next steps and arrange the appropriate assistance. Our vehicles are regularly serviced and maintained before they go out on rental.

Our cars can be used for trips within Kenya, subject to the terms of your rental agreement and the suitability of the vehicle for your route. Whether you're exploring Nairobi, heading to Naivasha, Maasai Mara, Amboseli or the Coast, tell us your plans and we'll recommend the right vehicle.
