Car hire questions
Can I hire a car and self-drive in Rwanda?
Yes. Rwanda has good paved roads and you drive on the right. You need a valid driving licence (an International Driving Permit is recommended). Self-drive rates start from about US$55 per day for a RAV4 and US$100 for a Land Cruiser Prado.
Is it better to hire a car with a driver?
For gorilla trekking and safaris, most travellers prefer a driver-guide: they know the park procedures, find wildlife, handle permits and let you enjoy the view. Self-drive suits confident drivers on longer, flexible trips.
Can I take a rental car from Rwanda to Uganda?
Yes, with prior arrangement. We prepare the cross-border documents (COMESA insurance and authorisation) for a fee. Tell us when you book.
Is insurance included in the rental?
Yes. Every rental includes comprehensive insurance with an excess. We explain the excess and optional cover in your quote.
Can you deliver the car to Kigali airport?
Yes. We deliver to and collect from Kigali International Airport or your hotel in Kigali free of charge. Delivery elsewhere in Rwanda is available on request.
Is fuel included?
Self-drive rentals exclude fuel: you receive the car with a full tank and return it full. For trips with a driver, we quote fuel per itinerary.
