Car Hire in Nairobi, Kenya

When renting a car, understand the fuel policy. A 'Full-to-Full' policy means you return the car with a full tank, while 'Same-to-Same' means you return it with the same level of fuel. Full-to-Full is often more cost-effective.

Opt for a compact car for easier parking and navigation through busy streets.

Ensure that you have a valid driving licence with at least one year of driving experience. If you are a foreign driver travelling to Nairobi, an international driving permit may be required. Remember, hire rates can be higher for drivers under 25 or over 70

If you're looking for more comfort or features, inquire about upgrade options at the rental desk. Sometimes, upgrades are offered at a discounted rate at pickup.

Many car hire deals in Nairobi require a credit card for the deposit. If you only have a debit card, use our website's filter to find options that accommodate it or consider getting a credit card. Make sure the main driver’s card is used to prevent any extra charges.

Always keep your rental agreement, identification, and insurance information easily accessible during your rental period. This can help resolve any issues quickly.

Some rental companies offer a free tank of fuel with your rental. Be sure to understand the terms, including how much fuel you need to return the car with and any potential fees for not meeting these conditions.

in Nairobi, car hires are billed on a daily basis. Renting for over 24 hours will incur a charge for an additional day, so be sure to plan your rental duration to avoid extra costs.
