Run by people who drive these roads every day

We are a Nairobi car hire company, not a booking portal. Every car on this site is ours, serviced by our own mechanics and handed over by our own staff.

About the company

The website reads from the same system as our hire desk, so a car shown as free really is free.

Serviced on schedule

Every vehicle is inspected before each hire and serviced at the manufacturer interval, with records to show for it.

All hires include comprehensive insurance with a damage waiver. The excess is written on your agreement.

Questions

Before you book

The things people ask most often. The full list is on the FAQ page.

All questions and answers
What do I need to hire a car?

A valid driving licence held for at least 2 years, your national ID or passport, and to be at least 23 years old. Visitors can use a licence from their home country or an international driving permit.

Is there a deposit?

Yes. A refundable security deposit is taken at collection and returned when the car comes back in the condition it left. The amount depends on the vehicle and is shown on your quote.

Can I take the car outside Nairobi?

Yes. Our cars go anywhere in Kenya. Cross border travel to Uganda or Tanzania needs to be arranged in advance so we can prepare the paperwork.

How do I pay?

M-Pesa, cash or card at collection. Corporate customers can be invoiced monthly. No payment is taken online when you book.
