  I found Kigali Car Rentals via a travel blog about Rwanda and booked a self-drive Rav4 vehicle for a week. The logistics surrounding booking the car, and arranging a pickup... read more and return were seamless. Frank was highly responsive and flexible with our requests via WhatsApp and emails. We were involved in a minor car incident at the tail end of our trip and Frank sorted that out effectively with the other driver involved. I thought we got good value for our money and can certainly recommend this rental company for your trip to Rwanda.

  Frank was really helpful and accommodating and helped our every need! He made sure we were fetched andr dropped at the airport and his cars were comfortable and exactly what... read more we needed! He was easy to communicate with and made things simple. He stored our bicycles for us too which was amazing!

  We were a group of 8 and spent 10 days visiting Rwanda in the 10 seater 4x4 van. Very Easy to book the trip and Emmanuel was more than our... read more driver, he was our guide and the perfect person to spend this trip with. The journey was memorable thanks to him and the easy planning of the days, going wherever we wanted and giving us advices. Recommended +++ and thanks again Emmanuel!

  Renting the car at Frank’s company was definitely the best decision and made our stay so much easier. We contacted Frank via WhatsApp, the whole communication was super smooth and... read more the car (RAV4) was ready as agreed. We were also informed about cameras (they indeed are everywhere) and the speed limit. Unfortunately, we got the penalty once but Frank swiftly informed us about it so we paid immediately and it was all solved easily and quickly.
Initially we thought about renting the car only for one week but then decided to extend for one more week and again, the communication was super easy. Overall, we highly recommend Frank’s company for everyone going to Rwanda!

  Good service, fast responding trough WhatsApp or mail. Car was Ugandan, because we wanted to travel Rwanda and also Uganda. That would save us some cost at the border and... read more at game parks.

  We rented a RAV4 for 4 days. Contacted Frank via WhatsApp, who was responsive and helpful. We got the car at the right time, we were even kindly picked up... read more from the hotel and then taken to the airport. The only thing that upset us was the penalty. We inattentively read the contract and did not know that the speed limit is 40 kilometers per hour in the city and 60-80 outside the city. There are no warning signs about cameras on the roads. As a result, we received 9 fines in one day. Only $250. Frank wrote to us about it on WhatsApp. After that we were careful. But it would have been better if Frank had warned us about a lot of cameras at once.

  Everything was perfect. Communication was simple and straightforward. the car was delivered to our door step right on time. The car was in good condition, no bad surprises. At the... read more end of the trip, the car was picked up again, quick and easy.
We didn’t know where to start looking for a car so we went with Frank based on his excellent TripAdvisor reviews - and we’ll definitely choose him again next time.

  I rented a RAV4 for the weekend, contacted Frank through WhatsApp who was extremely responsive and helpful. Vehicle was delivered and collected from the hotel complete with all the paperwork.... read more Easier than all the administration and faff of having to collect cars from the big name companies. Would recommend and i have booked again for this weekend. One slight annoyance was the spare tyre was flat which was a worry given the roads here in Rwanda as I had no way of changing the wheel.

  This was a high quality, affordable car hire service. We were able to pick up the car easily and at a time that suited us. The car was perfect for... read more a 2 day drive around Akagera National Park, it easily handled the bumpy roads. we then asked to extend our car hire for a day and Kigali car rental were very flexible and said that was no problem. We were also able to drive ourselves to the airport (to fly home) and leave the car there to be picked up. Overall, we were very happy we chose to rent through Kigali car rentals.

  After some research we found Kigali cars. A car with French speaking driver. Very good value for money excellent driver in the name of Bienvenu! We recommend it.

  We rented a car for 8 days selfdrive around Rwanda. The service was great with delivery and pick up at our hotel in Kigali. Frank is flexible and responds quickly.... read more We had no issues with the car. Would highly recommend!

  We rented two vars for a two week selfdrive around Rwanda. Excellent service, very flexible and responsive. Good quality car, we loved the Landcruiser safari vehicle!

  This company never showed up for our airport transfer that we booked direct. We had a car rental reserved two days later for a 17 day rental. We decided to... read more cancel as they could not seem to get the right car or service the request. We were also concerned they may no-show for us

  Competitive price, fast and easy communication. We toured self-drive one week through Rwanda with an automatic 4x4 Prado. We also hired camping material for camping in Akagera. A phantastic experience.

  I had a good experience. The stuff were professional. Always easy to reach whenever needed. I would definitely recommend.

  Kigali car rentals makes a visit to Rwanda easy. With pick up and drop off service, and a quality vehicle it is a good value and great service. We rented... read more a car for 6 days for short trips from Kigali to Musanze and Muhazi and also for travel around Kigali. The car we had handled the dirt roads in some of the remote areas in Muhazi well, and the dashboard gps navigation and back-up camera was a nice feature, it came in handy. We'll continue to use them when we visit Rwanda!

  This is definitely the best spot to rent a car in Kigali. Frank was incredibly communicative through WhatsApp, the price is extremely fair, and it made going around Kigali and... read more Rwanda extremely convenient. I highly recommend renting a car from Kigali Car Rentals for any trip to Kigali. They will pick you up from the airport with the car and drop you back off at the end of your trip.

I rented a Toyota prado for 8 days and went all throughout the country, including to Akagera and Volcanoes. You definitely want a Prado for Akagera as the roads are fairly bad. For non self safari a rav4 probably suffices but I was happy to have the Prado throughout as it made adventuring in rural areas more comfortable (off the main highway all roads are unpaved). The prado also has a massive fuel tank which meant I just had to fill it 1.5 times despite driving constantly and throughout the country for 8 days.

The Prado did an absolutely outstanding job in self safari in Akagera, including on the steep climbs and challenging rounds. It’s an incredible car. I popped a tire on self safari in Akagera (something that isn’t surprising given the roads) and the Prado had a spare tire and all the necessary tools for an easy tire change. When I got back to Kigali Frank gave me a new back up tire so I could continue my journey.

Frank also helped us find the PCR test in Kigali needed to see the Gorillas and provided a map for borrow (google maps is only 75% effective in Rwanda I would say)

All in all, I will definitely rent again on my next trip and highly recommend the same to anyone.

  Frank and his team provided us with a Toyota Rav4 on very short notice and we couldn't have been happier and more lucky! The car was in great shape and... read more got us through all of Rwanda.
Service, payment, insurance all included and for a very reasonable price.
Renting a car is the ideal way to explore Rwanda on your own. It's super save to drive, even at night and the roads are in amazing shape!
Thanks again to Frank!

  We hired a RAV4 from Kigali Car Rentals for six days to explore Rwanda. The prices are very reasonable and the car hire was straightforward, quick and hassle-free. Communication was... read more great too. Unlike other places I've hired from, I didn't have to leave a huge deposit or pay extra to have an additional driver. The car had a few scrapes but nothing serious and it drove well, including on unmade, gravel roads. Highly recommend this place for car hire in Rwanda.

  I contacted Kigali Car Rentals late one evening from Dubai as we needed a car urgently for my fiancé who was in Gashora at the time. Frank was super professional,... read more friendly and he immediately suggested a suitable car to be used on the dirt roads. The car was delivered on time, we extended the rental period for a day and there were no problems at all. Frank agreed to the extension without any prior payment. We paid on the day the car was returned. He was also super accommodating and even picked up the car from the airport as my fiancé had to catch a flight. I HIGHLY recommend Kigali Car Rentals. Frank you are a superstar!! Wishing you the very best for the future.

  I was on work assignment in Rwanda, my fiancé contacted Frank from Dubai and put me in touch with Frank. What an absolute pleasure dealing with Frank.

  I had a very excellent experience working with Kigali car rental. Specifically, I rented a car at a very good rate that was of sufficient quality for a small road... read more trip I did north of Kigali. The staff of Kigali car rental were excellent to work with. I was able to pay for my car rental using the credit card which was very welcomed. The entire process of the check-in and check-out of the car was very smooth. I recommend this company if you're looking to do self driving in Rwanda. I was pleased enough with the service that I decided to use them again for a larger vehicle for a longer trip. Note that as of June 2022, their office is in the back of the ‘Jesus is Able’ house on the third floor, so if you need to find them just ask somebody in one of the businesses on the first floor on the side of the building that is facing the road.

  Rented two cars, first a race and then a Prado. All worked well and service was great! Car was delivered at our accomodation and picked up there after the rental... read more period!
