What types of cars can I rent in Nairobi?
Dart around in a mini, style it up in a premium ride or go for something in the middle, like a mid-size. But it's hard to beat a compact car — the top choice in Nairobi. They're easy to handle and park, fuel-efficient and a great idea if you're driving around cities. An upgrade from economy, you can expect a bit more room and comfort while still getting a terrific deal.
Where can I go on a road trip from Nairobi?
There's so much to do in Nairobi, but venture further afield and you'll find more sightseeing magic. Organise a set of wheels and you can discover the surrounding region at your own speed. Add these awesome places to your itinerary:

  • Nakuru is around 137 kilometres from Nairobi. Notable sights like Lake Nakuru National Park should be at the top of your list while you're in town.
  • Your next pit stop? Consider Nyeri, which is around 97 kilometres away. Nyeri Golf Course is one local hot spot you really shouldn't miss.
  • Make your way to Tsavo East National Park to discover some local nature. Pack a picnic to enjoy or just relax and unwind. From Nairobi, it's about 241 kilometres away.

What do you need to rent a car in Nairobi?
You'll generally require a driver's licence and credit card in your name when collecting your vehicle. You may also need proof of coverage if you'd like to opt out of the company's insurance plan. These requirements often differ between rental outlets, so be sure to check before booking.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Nairobi?
Yes, and you'll find your ideal ride on our long-term car rental deals page. Simply enter your trip information and we'll list terrific offers from various trusted providers.
Where can I find a Nairobi car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental suppliers, so you'll have to do a little shopping around. Found a Nairobi outlet that does rent to drivers under 25? That's great! Just keep in mind that extra charges often apply to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're considering should have all the details you need.
