Car Rentals Kigali is a Rwandan-owned and operated car hire company based in Kigali, Rwanda. We have been providing reliable, well-maintained vehicles to travellers, NGO workers, expats, and safari adventurers across Rwanda and Uganda for over 10 years.
We are the trading name of Go Safaris Africa Ltd, registered and operating in Rwanda. Our customers book with us because they trust us — and our 4.8-star rating from 91 Google reviews is the result of 10 years of treating every rental like it matters.
What Makes Us Different
We Come to You
We deliver vehicles directly to your hotel, guesthouse, or apartment in Kigali — no taxi needed, no long walk, no wasted time. If you are arriving at Kigali International Airport, we meet you in arrivals. If you are staying at any hotel in the city, we bring the car to your door.

We Answer on WhatsApp
When something comes up on a trip — a change of plan, a question about the road, a request to extend your rental — you need someone who picks up. We are available 7 days a week on WhatsApp and respond quickly. Our customers consistently mention this in their reviews:
“Joe was very responsive on WhatsApp throughout the trip.”
“Quick response, great service, will use again.”
“Communication was excellent from first contact to return.”
We Replace Broken Cars
If your vehicle breaks down or develops a mechanical problem, we sort it out — including sending a replacement vehicle if necessary. We do not leave customers stranded. Our roadside support extends into Uganda for all cross-border hires.
We Know Rwanda and Uganda
We are not a booking platform. We are a local company, and our team knows the roads, the border crossings, the parks, and the seasonal conditions. When you ask us which vehicle is right for the Bwindi track in October, or how long the Katuna border crossing takes on a Friday afternoon, we give you a real answer — because we have done it. See our cross-border Rwanda–Uganda car hire service for details on Uganda trips.
Our Fleet
We operate a range of well-maintained vehicles suited to Rwanda and Uganda’s varied terrain — from smooth Kigali tarmac to the steep forest tracks leading to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. Our fleet includes:
- Toyota RAV4 — from $60/day — ideal for Rwanda self-drive and city use
- Toyota Prado / Land Cruiser — from $80/day — the go-to 4×4 for Uganda and national parks
- Safari Van with pop-up roof — from $90/day — perfect for game drives
- Minibus / People Carrier — from $120/day — great for groups and NGO teams
- Sedan / Economy Car — from $35/day — comfortable city and tarmac use
- Luxury SUV (M300) — from $200/day — premium travel in Rwanda and Uganda
All vehicles are regularly serviced. We replace vehicles that develop problems. Every rental comes with 24/7 WhatsApp support and roadside assistance.

What Our Customers Say
We have 91 reviews on Google with an average of 4.8 stars. Here is what some of our customers say:
“Excellent service from start to finish. Joe delivered the car to our hotel and was available the whole time. Highly recommend.”
“The car was clean, well-maintained, and exactly what we needed for our Bwindi trip. Will definitely use again.”
“Very professional. All the cross-border paperwork was ready on time and the border crossing was smooth.”
“Best car hire experience in Kigali. Responsive, honest, fair pricing. 5 stars.”
“I have used Car Rentals Kigali three times now. Always reliable, always responsive.”
We take feedback seriously. When something goes wrong — and occasionally things do in East Africa — we fix it. Our reputation is built rental by rental.
Who We Serve
Over 10 years, we have provided vehicles to:
Tourists and travellers visiting Rwanda for gorilla trekking at Volcanoes National Park, bird watching at Nyungwe Forest, game drives at Akagera, and cultural tours in Kigali and across the country. Many customers combine Rwanda with Uganda — we handle the full cross-border documentation for these trips.
NGOs and international organisations that need reliable, long-term vehicle hire in Kigali. We offer monthly and quarterly rates for organisations working in Rwanda. Read about our long-term NGO and expat car hire →
Business travellers who need a comfortable, well-maintained vehicle for meetings, field visits, and inter-city travel across Rwanda and Uganda.
Self-drive adventurers who want to explore Rwanda and Uganda at their own pace — from the Kigali city centre to the remote corners of Bwindi. Our self-drive car hire guide helps first-timers prepare for Rwandan roads.
Rwanda and Uganda Only — We Know These Countries
Our focus is Rwanda and Uganda. We know these two countries in depth — the roads, the parks, the border crossings, the rainy season conditions. We do not try to be everything to everyone. If you need a vehicle for a Rwanda–Uganda trip, you have found the right company.
Our most popular routes:
- Kigali to Volcanoes National Park
- Kigali to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest (Uganda)
