  • Before the rental period began, all drivers had to have their licenses for at least a year. For the duration of the rental agreement, the driver must possess a valid license.

Rent a car without a deposit

The rental car companies in Rwanda can only guarantee a certain type of car, not an exact make or model. Car rental companies have cars from many different brands in the same category. These cars should have the same features that were confirmed at the time of the reservation. Here is an explanation of the various car classes:

Car rental models

You may be able to reserve a specific model in some cases. You will notice a special note next to the vehicle in the search results if such a possibility exists.

It depends on the number of passengers and the amount of luggage each person is carrying. However, the following factors to think about before vacationing in Rwanda:

Size: Our major suggestion is to choose a car that is not excessively wide. There are some tiny streets when you are driving through old towns or historical villages. It will be less stressful in a narrower automobile. Renault Twingo is the most well-liked model among economy classes in Rwanda. From EUROPCAR the daily rate for this vehicle begins at 15$.

Power: Any size car will be able to travel the entire country. However, if you choose an engine that is not the smallest, it will be more comfortable in the highlands.

Traveling by car lets you explore at your own pace. It's nice to be able to avoid congested bus or rail schedules and travel early or late.

Third party insurance is often included in the rental price, which covers damage and injuries done by a third party and their vehicle, even if you are liable for it. However, this policy does not protect the driver or the vehicle in the event of an accident.
The deductibles (for losses not covered by the rental agency) that are included in many base contracts are typically quite large. In the event that you cause an accident while renting a car, you will be held financially accountable for the deductible amount specified in your rental agreement.
In case of an accident or theft, you can purchase additional insurance through the rental agency.

Car rental insurance

Prices can vary based on the company, the season, and the vehicle, but most locations offer discounts if you reserve a car prior to your arrival in Rwanda. The cheapest automatic cars cost from 13$ to 24$ per day. Larger cars can be more expensive due to their higher fuel consumption, so you may want to choose a smaller vehicle, which will also be advantageous on narrower roads.
There is always an increase in demand for car rentals in Rwanda during the summer months, which drives up the prices. During the off-season, particularly the winter, the prices are significantly lower. The duration of your rental also affects the total price. Typically, renting a vehicle for a longer period of time results in a lower daily rate, thus a five-day rental may cost only somewhat more than a three-day rental. If possible, consider spending at least a week exploring Rwanda.
