Car hire Nairobi: every class of vehicle.
Economy Axio, SUVs, safari Prado and Land Cruiser, luxury chauffeur cars — transparent daily rates in KES.

/ Why this desk
Built for Kenyan roads, not brochure photos.
We service every car on a Nairobi schedule, photograph the handover, and put the excess in writing. If it fails, you get a replacement — not a lecture.

Insurance that is actually there
Comprehensive in the daily rate. Excess stated before you pay.
02
JKIA in under 20 minutes
Staffed arrivals, not a driver hunting for you in the rain.

/ How it works
Three steps. Then the road.
01
Pick the car
Filter by class, seats, and safari vs city. Every rate is KES per day, insurance in.
02
Lock the window
Airport, hotel, or Westlands. Self-drive or chauffeur. M-Pesa when we confirm the unit.
03
Drive or be driven
Handover photos, papers in the glovebox, 24/7 WhatsApp if the trip changes.
/ From the road
People who had somewhere to be.
“JKIA pickup was at the arrivals door, not ‘somewhere in the parking’. The Prado was clean, papers were in the glovebox, and WhatsApp support actually replied at 11pm in Naivasha.”
“We put guests in the Land Cruiser 300 with a Car Rental driver for a five-day Mara loop. No drama, no ‘fuel extra’ surprises. That is rare.”
“Booked the Harrier from the beach villa. They delivered, photographed the car with me, and collected on time. Felt like a European desk with Kenyan warmth.”
/ Questions
Before you book.
What do I need to hire a car?+
A valid driving licence (Kenyan or international), a national ID or passport, and a refundable security deposit. For chauffeur hire you only need ID. Minimum self-drive age is 23 with two years’ experience.
Is insurance included?+
Yes. Every car leaves with comprehensive cover and a stated excess. You can buy down the excess at the desk. Theft, third-party, and passenger liability are in the daily rate — we put it in writing before you pay.
Can I pay with M-Pesa?+
Yes. Pay now with M-Pesa STK, or pay after delivery when the car is at JKIA, the hotel, or your gate. The refundable deposit is M-Pesa at handover either way. Cards and bank transfer are available for corporates.
Do you deliver to hotels and JKIA?+
Nairobi, Mombasa, Diani, Kisumu, Nakuru, Nanyuki, Eldoret, and Malindi. JKIA and Wilson are staffed. Hotel and Airbnb delivery is a timed slot, not a maybe.
Can I cross into Tanzania or Uganda?+
Yes on selected 4x4s with 72 hours’ notice. We handle COMESA papers and Yellow Card. Cross-border is not available on every economy car.
What if I break down?+
24/7 roadside on every contract. We partner with recovery teams on the Mombasa Road, Nakuru highway, and the coast. A replacement car is the default, not a debate.
