For your Kigali car hire, consider booking a compact or mid-sized car, which can be advantageous for manoeuvring through tight spaces and navigating crowded areas. Choosing a car with good fuel efficiency is beneficial, as it can help reduce fuel costs and minimise environmental impact. This is especially important if you plan to do a lot of city driving or explore the surrounding areas. You can also look for a car that provides comfortable seating, good visibility, and safety features such as anti-lock brakes (ABS), airbags, stability control, and traction control.

Some Kigali car providers already include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Theft Protection Waiver into the hire price but not all of them. We recommend being aware of your coverage when hiring a car in Kigali.
Keep in mind that car hire insurances often have a deductible clause, which is the amount you’ll have to pay if something happens during the time of your hire. If you want to avoid unwanted surprises, you should consider adding a non-deductible option to your Kigali car hire.
