Getting around Nairobi will be made much easier by organising a car hire at Nairobi Jomo Kenyatta Airport. The local transport systems can be very limiting and confusing, and will reduce your opportunities to explore the area to the set schedules and routes, cutting out some areas for your exploration opportunities. To have full creative freedom on your travel itinerary, book a car hire at Nairobi Jomo Kenyatta Airport and give yourself the keys to both a rental car and a flexible, memorable adventure in Kenya.
Kenya does not require UK citizens to have an International Driving Permit, and you are able to drive on a valid UK driver’s license for up to 90 days.

Compact

There were no signs after exiting the airport for the rental car office and it was very difficult to find the phone number for Hertz Nairobi JKAI. Eventually we found it then they wanted to put an $800+ deposit on hold on our card (never mentioned on the terms and conditions), as well as, the $400+ for the actual rental car. I made sure to take lots of pictures and wrote on all the documents we signed that it was a deposit and we would get it back period. After we finally got the car, everything went smoothly but the check in and that “deposit” was ridiculous.

They were very late meeting me to pick up the car and they gave me a gigantic truck so they had to drive me to their HQ to get the correct car. Awful experience.

Alert- the office is closed. Others nearby said it has been closed during COVID. There were numbers posted in the window to call, but we received no reply. I'm so glad we didn't pre-pay! You may want to investigate and remove them from your website. Fortunately, we got a friendly and honest JKIA driver to take us to where we needed to go for a reasonable fee.
