Car rental Rwanda

Car rental in Rwanda, from one office that answers.

Kigali Cars is the car rental arm of East Africa Tourism & Transport Services. We own the fleet, we deliver it anywhere in Rwanda for free, and the same person who quotes you meets you at arrivals.

Cars chosen for the roads you will actually drive.

Rwanda is tarmac between towns and murram the moment you turn towards a park gate. Our fleet is built around that: diesel Land Cruiser Prados for the long northern and western routes, a pop-top Land Cruiser for Akagera game drives, RAV4s for couples on the Kivu road, and Hiace and Coaster buses for teams and groups.

Every car is owned and maintained by us, not sub-let from a private owner. Clients tell us ours are newer and in better shape than what they hired before, and that matters at 5am on the way to Kinigi.

Self-drive, or with a driver-guide — same cars, same rates.

Take the keys and go, or add a professional driver-guide for $35 a day who knows every hill, park gate and shortcut. Driver-guides speak English, French and Kinyarwanda, and their meals and lodging are included.

Whichever you choose, the rate includes insurance, unlimited kilometres in-country and a full tank at handover. Fuel on the road is yours; permits and park fees are quoted separately once we know your dates.
