Best car rental prices in Kenya
We understand the importance of choosing the right pick-up location. With that said, Bookingauto strives to provide customers with the opportunity to collect a car from all desired locations in Kenya, including the city centre, main railway stations, and the nearest airports. Thanks to such a large selection of rental points, our clients can book a car in Kenya and pick it up at a convenient place for them.
What we can offer:
By contacting Bookingauto.com, customers can be sure that there is the right type of car waiting for them. For example, if one person or a small group of guests arrives in Kenya, it makes sense for them to rent a Convertible BMW 4 Cabrio from €74 per day. This presentable and comfortable car is offered for rent by sixt. When it comes to a family or a large company, the best choice may be a Minivan Mercedes Vito at a rate of €69 per day. Your trip will be pleasant and safe in this roomy car. For those who want some extra comfort and have the appropriate budget, budget is ready to offer a Business-class model - BMW 7 Series. A budget transport option for a journey would be a Opel Astra car, compact but quite convenient, the rental of which would cost about €18 per day.
Select the exact date and time for picking up and returning the car:
If you want to save money, choose the same pick-up and return time. Car rental companies charge for a full day of rent, so if you rent a car for 25 hours, you pay for 48 hours (two full days), and 73 hours would be equivalent to four full days of rent.

The most popular cities and rental locations in Kenya
The rental points are grouped into three main locations: city, airports, and railway stations. Therefore, it won’t be difficult for you to find an option that suits you. Important note: the number of cars offered and the rental price in different rental locations in Kenya may differ. That is, car rental at the airport can be more expensive compared to the city centre. However, there is generally a larger choice of models at the airport. To pick the best option, you should study all of the offers, compare prices, and then make a decision.
Estimated rental price for 1 day
During the high season in summer, car rental in Kenya costs 20-30% more than at other times. For example, renting the VW Passat popular in Kenya costs €33 per day in July. In autumn, you’d pay about €8 for the same model.
During the holidays, the demand for car rental is very high, which is reflected in both the price and the choice of available cars. Therefore, you should book in advance if possible.
In the summer, prices for convertibles are especially high. As a guideline, a BMW 4 Cabrio will cost €74 per day for the duration of the vacation period.
Among the economy classes, the most popular model in Kenya is the Opel Astra. The rental price for such a car starts from €18 per day from sixt.
Business class car rental in high season is also more expensive. For example, renting a BMW 7 Series costs about €50 per day.
With the arrival of autumn, demand gradually decreases and this is reflected in costs. For example, a Toyota Rav-4 at this time can be rented for just €36 per day.
It will also be easier to find unusual and exclusive car models. For example, by renting a Mercedes S-class coupe, you will experience real driving pleasure and enjoy a luxurious visit that will remain in your memory forever.
Cancellation and change conditions
On our website, you can cancel or change your booking in Kenya under certain terms.
The booking can be cancelled with a full refund at least 24 hours in advance (in some cases, 48 hours may be needed).
If cancelled with less than 24 hours’ notice (or 48 hours in some cases), the administration fee will be deducted from the online payment amount but the rest of the money will be returned to your bank account.
Each vendor has a different cancellation policy and administration fee for different cars. Therefore, we recommend that you carefully read the cancellation policy before booking.
Remember that cancellations and changes are not possible after the pick-up time. This applies to all bookings.
Applies to all bookings:
If your online payment is less than the stated administration fee, there will be no refunds when cancelling your booking once the administration fee is applied.
If your booking is made less than 24 hours prior to the pick-up time (or 48 hours in some cases), a cancellation policy will be automatically applied to your booking.
Important information: All cancellations must be made in the “Manage My Booking” section and not directly through the car rental company itself.
Insurance coverage cancellation:
If the car was booked with an additional insurance product, the policy will be automatically ended upon cancellation. The issue of reimbursement is resolved within the framework of the cancellation policy provided for by the terms of the insurance product.
No-show at the rental location:
A “no-show” can mean that:
● You didn't inform the car rental company of your cancellation before your pick-up time.
● You failed to pick up your car in Kenya at the arranged time and date.
● You failed to provide the documentation required to pick up the car.
● You failed to provide a credit card in the main driver’s name with enough available funds on it.
In the event of any of the above, no refunds can be made.
The car rental company reserves the right to refuse a car to any customer who fails to arrive on time with all of the necessary documentation and a credit card with enough available funds for the car's security deposit. In such cases, the customer will not be entitled to a refund.

Age restrictions when renting a car in Kenya
Many rental companies impose strict age restrictions on the driver when renting a car in Kenya. They may also additionally charge a young driver who is under 25 years old. It doesn't matter how old you are, it's important to be aware of all of the age requirements, especially if you are under 21. And don't forget that this can affect the cost of booking a car. Age restrictions and fees vary by country, car rental provider and pick-up location. We strongly recommend that you carefully read the rental conditions when booking and the information on your voucher.

To rent a car in Kenya, you will need a driver's license, passport, credit card (sometimes two for luxury cars) and a voucher received by email.

Answer : You can pick up a car in Kenya and return it in another city, but you will have to pay extra for this. When booking, find the option "Return in another location" in the search form and indicate the city in which you will return the car. However, this option is not available for all cars. The system will return eligible options to you in the search results. The indicated rental price in this case already includes an additional fee for returning the car in another city. In some circumstances, the need to return a car in another city may arise after the lease has been issued, i.e. during the use of the vehicle. In this case, you need to call the rental company directly at the phone number indicated on the voucher to come to an agreement and discuss the terms of the surcharge.
Answer : The most popular cars in Kenya are ones that fit into the Compact and Standard categories, including the Opel Astra and VW Passat models. If you want to choose a car that exactly matches your needs, try making a short list of your expectations. Think about your passengers and how comfortable they’ll be while driving. Check the volume of the boot, as well as safety and fuel economy features if that’s important to you.
Answer : For almost any location in Kenya, you can find a car rental office on our website. Click on the "Rent a car near me" icon in the search form. The system will automatically determine your coordinates and suggest a number of available cars, starting with the ones closest to your location. However, check the exact address of the rental office before booking to ensure that the coordinates are accurate.

To choose the most attractive offer, take your time and compare the prices of the cars offered by different rental companies. This will help you to choose a car with suitable characteristics and rent it on the best terms.
