Our Story

From Kigali to Every Corner of Rwanda

Car Hire in Rwanda was founded with a simple goal: to make exploring Rwanda easy, affordable, and enjoyable for every traveller. Based in Kigali near the international airport, we started with a small fleet of 4x4s serving safari tourists and have since grown to offer a full range of vehicles for business travellers, families, NGO workers, expats, and adventure seekers.

Rwanda is one of the fastest-growing tourism destinations in Africa, welcoming over 1.5 million visitors each year to its gorilla treks, national parks, and vibrant cities. We are proud to be part of that growth — helping travellers discover everything from the mountain gorillas of Volcanoes National Park to the shores of Lake Kivu, the wildlife of Akagera, and the rainforests of Nyungwe.

Today, our fleet includes over 12 vehicles — from the budget-friendly Toyota RAV4 at $40 per day to the premium Land Cruiser 300 at $150 per day — and our team of experienced drivers and support staff is available 24/7 to make every journey seamless.

The difference

What Sets Us Apart from Other Car Hire Companies in Rwanda

Fast Response Times

We reply to every inquiry within 2 hours — by WhatsApp, email, or phone. Most bookings are confirmed the same day, and last-minute requests are handled whenever possible, even with less than 24 hours notice.

Well-Maintained Vehicles

Every car is serviced on a strict schedule and inspected before each rental. We do not send out a vehicle with any mechanical issue, worn tyres, or cosmetic damage. If a problem occurs on the road, we provide a replacement vehicle at no extra cost.

Multilingual Drivers

Our professional drivers speak English, French, and Kinyarwanda. Many have years of experience guiding tourists through Rwanda's national parks and can share local knowledge about wildlife, culture, restaurants, and hidden gems that guidebooks miss.

Cross-Border Capability

Planning to visit Uganda, Tanzania, Burundi, or the DRC? We arrange cross-border permits ($50-$150) and can provide vehicles and drivers for multi-country itineraries. Popular routes include Kigali to Kampala, Kigali to Bujumbura, and Rwanda-Uganda gorilla trekking circuits.
