Why rent a car in Kenya?

Renting a car in Kenya offers unparalleled flexibility to explore the country's diverse landscapes, from the bustling streets of Nairobi to the serene beaches of the Indian Ocean. With your own vehicle, you can venture off the beaten path, visiting remote villages and hidden gems that are often inaccessible by public transport.

Additionally, having a car allows you to tailor your itinerary, spending as much time as you wish at Kenya's renowned national parks and reserves. This autonomy enhances your travel experience, enabling spontaneous detours and the opportunity to immerse yourself fully in the rich culture and natural beauty of the region.

Car rental tips for Kenya

  • When renting a car in Kenya, ensure you have a valid International Driving Permit alongside your national driver's license, as this is a requirement for foreign drivers.
  • Be aware of potential rental scams; always book through reputable companies with verified reviews and avoid deals that seem too good to be true.
  • Consider using your own car hire insurance if it covers rentals in Kenya, as this can be more cost-effective than purchasing additional coverage from the rental company.
  • Stick to one designated driver for the duration of your trip to avoid additional fees or complications, as some rental companies may charge extra for multiple drivers.
