Answers to popular questions

The lowest daily rates ranging from 29$. You might wish to select a smaller vehicle because big cars tend to cost more to operate due to their higher fuel consumption.
Summertime in Kigali is always a time of increased demand for car rentals, which raises costs. Prices are markedly reduced in the off-season, particularly in the winter.The length of your rental also influences the overall cost.

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.

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.

You can rent almost any kind of car in Kigali, from small, cheap cars to high-end ones. Here are some things you might want to think about:

A size of the car: A bigger car may be more comfortable on the highway, but many beautiful villages in Kigali have narrow streets. Parking garages are often small, and getting in and out of them can be a nightmare. Toyota Aygo is the most well-liked model among economy classes in Kigali. From EUROPCAR the daily rate for this vehicle begins at 12$. For those who want some extra comfort and have the appropriate budget, EAST COAST is ready to offer a Business-class model - BMW 7 Series, price starts at 52$ per day.
Most rental cars in Kigali are manual, but more and more automatic cars are becoming available. Automatic cars usually cost more to rent, and if your license only lets you drive an automatic car, you won't be able to rent a stick shift car.

The search result and your voucher both show the most likely model. The car class is reserved at all rental car agencies, nonetheless, in accordance with global car rental regulations. When you arrive at the office, you can choice the color and model of the car you want. Here is an explanation of the various car classes:

However, in some cases you can reserve a particular model. If such an option is available, a special notation will appear next to the car in the search results.

The same card must be used to guarantee the rental agreement when you pick up the vehicle. We accept two types of cards:

We will accept a credit card as a guarantee. Our front desk staff is not permitted to accept a credit card if it is not clearly designated as such.
If you purchase our Platinum Insurance plan for the duration of your rental time, we can acccept a debit or prepaid card.

Just keep in mind that the rental agreement must be signed in person at pick-up by the cardholder/renter, as well as by any other drivers. Additionally, the card must still be valid 100 days after the rental time has ended.
