Car hire services in Nairobi





The thought of arriving in Kenya, car hire in Nairobi can seem a little of a challenge to some, but most tourists wouldn't think twice about doing the same thing on a beach vacation holiday to Spain or France for honeymoon of family tour.

So why is it such a big issue? Just the fear of the unknown, with a safari holiday in Spain you know the variety of vehicles for hire and the only issue you have to worry about is driving on the wrong side of the road. This familiarity has its benefits, you seem you are in control, but sometimes the unknown is what can turn a normal experience into a magical one, so if you enjoy adventure and you are not afraid of some unknowns, maybe a vehicle hire on a self drive safari in Kenya is for you? It is significant to stress that it is not for everyone and to assist you make a decision if it is for you we have compiled a car hire in Kenya fact sheet.

Car renting and driving on your own Kenya safari does not always translate to a cheaper holiday than a "packaged vacation" version, depending on what type of accommodation you decide to stay at, but then again sometimes it's a plus to hire a vehicle in Kenya as the sense of freedom that you get is very liberating as you truly are on an safari adventure.
If all that organising makes you feel like packing it all in already, there are also Kenya tour operators, safari company, travel agents car hire companies and vehicle rental operators companies out there that can do all the hard work for you, they will provide you with a suitable 4x4 vehicle for hire and a recommended route, map and even book the accommodation for you, this obviously comes at a cost and takes away a little of that freedom we were cherishing a few moments before, but on the plus side someone else does all the leg work for you and they have the benefit of knowing the lay of the land and recommending places that you should go and see.
Once you rent a car the Africa continent is literally yours. You can rent a car in Nairobi (4X4), which is probably where your Kenya Safari holiday will commence and you can even get a car rental company right from Nairobi Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. We advise booking the vehicle hire before incoming in Kenya. It is then a drive out of Nairobi which can be a little hectic, just to say the least! At this point it is essential to note that a quality 4x4 vehicle is essential and it is not only for all the pot holes in the roads of Nairobi as there will be more challenging roads ahead.
