What is the most popular rental car category in Kenya?
Compact cars are the most popular type of rental car in Kenya. And if you're about to spend a good deal of your time driving around the lively streets of Nairobi or Mombasa, you'll quickly learn why. Ditch the SUV or van for a set of wheels that are chic and compact — parking is easy and they're a dream to drive!That all said, Kenya is known for its savannahs, valleys, and mountains. It'd be a shame not to leave the city limits to see those picturesque vistas. If that sounds tempting, reserve an SUV or a full-size vehicle. Even if you don't intend to venture off-road, you'll be grateful for the extra space.
Should I get a luxury rental car in Kenya?
For some of us, owning a high-end vehicle may be a little out of reach. But renting your dream ride is certainly within your grasp! Imagine the thrill of rolling into town in a snazzy convertible, even if it's just for a short while. Or perhaps all you want is a dependable set of wheels to get you quickly and safely from point A to point B. Flashy or thrifty? Either way, there's a rental car to suit your style in Kenya.
What happens if I get a speeding fine while driving a rental car in Kenya?
Generally, one of two things will happen. Your rental company may bill the amount stated on the fine to your credit card. This is the most common approach. Otherwise, it may forward your contact information to local authorities so the fine is sent to you directly.
