Frequently asked questions

Can I rent a car from Jomo Kenyatta Intl. Airport (NBO)?
Arrive at Jomo Kenyatta Intl. Airport (NBO) and then head to Sixt or Avis, a quick commute away. You'll be exploring Nairobi in your own set of wheels in next to no time.
What happens if I need to cancel my Nairobi car reservation?
We've got good news! You should get a complete refund if you cancel more than six hours ahead of the scheduled pickup time. Your confirmation contains details about this, as does our Customer Service Portal. Not all bookings result in a refund though, so you may want to read through your car rental policy.

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.

There's so much to do in Nairobi, but venture farther afield and you'll find more sightseeing magic. Organize a set of wheels and you can discover the surrounding region at your own speed. Add these awesome places to your itinerary:

  • Your next pit stop? Consider Nyeri, which is around 97 kilometers away. Nyeri Golf Course is one local hot spot you really shouldn't miss.

Where can I find a Nairobi car rental if I am younger than 25?
