Vehicle Information

Yes, all of our vehicles are insured for car hire use, including cover for passengers and third parties (within policy limits).

Please note:

  • In Kenya, the person driving is not covered under the vehicle's insurance and so we strongly recommend that all Drivers (and passengers) have personal accident / travel insurance cover from their home country.
  • For additional peace of mind, you may also consider SafeTravels by Rescue.co which provides medical cover, roadside assistance and air evacuation etc for 30 days at KES 3,300/person.

The maximum excess is usually equivalent to the refundable deposit that we hold.

If insurance is invalidated by a breach of terms, you'll be liable for all resultant damages.

If the damage incurred is less than the excess to make an insurance claim, we will simply deduct the cost of repair from your deposit.

While you can request a specific vehicle, it is subject to availability. If unavailable, we will provide a similar vehicle from the same category.
