Nairobi Airport Car Rental Mini Guide

Nairobi Airport is also known as Jomo Kenyatta Airport. Once you have collected your hire car from Nairobi Airport, there are excellent transport links to the city and surroundings. The most popular and easiest route to the centre of Nairobi is the Mombasa Highway. Once exiting the airport this road is clearly signposted, the city is around eighteen kilometres away and again is clearly signposted.  
 

Hiring a car in Nairobi, particularly with services like Rhinocarhire, offers several advantages for exploring the vibrant Kenyan capital and its surroundings. Here's a breakdown of the benefits:

  1. Convenience and Flexibility: Renting a car at Nairobi's Jomo Kenyatta Airport (also known as Nairobi Airport), where Rhinocarhire operates, provides easy access to the city and surrounding areas. The airport's proximity to the central business district, just nine miles away, makes it an ideal starting point for your exploration​​​​. Self-drive car hire services, like Rhinocarhire, give you the freedom to explore Nairobi at your own pace, allowing you to create your itinerary and stop wherever and whenever you desire. This offers more authentic interactions with the local community and culture​​.

  2. Cost-Effectiveness: Opting for a self-drive car can often be more economical, especially for larger groups or families. By managing your transportation, you can save on costs and allocate more of your budget to other experiences during your trip​​.

  3. Comfort: Self-drive services provide the comfort of choosing a car that best suits your needs, whether it's a compact car for city navigation or a spacious SUV for more adventurous journeys​​.

  4. Exploring Nairobi's Attractions: With a self-drive car, you have the opportunity to visit unique places like Nairobi National Park, the Giraffe Centre, the Karen Blixen Museum, the Kazuri Beads Women’s Cooperative, and the Maasai Market. These attractions showcase Nairobi's rich culture and biodiversity​​.

  5. Choice of Vehicles and Service Quality: When selecting a car hire service in Nairobi, it's crucial to consider factors like the company's reputation, the condition of the vehicle, insurance coverage, and the terms and conditions of the service. A reputable service provider like Rhinocarhire ensures a smooth and enjoyable experience​​​​.

  6. Solving Transportation Needs: Car hire services are particularly handy when you can't use your own vehicle due to damage, need for a bigger car, or simply not owning a car. They provide a solution for short-term transportation needs​​.

In summary, hiring a car in Nairobi, such as through Rhinocarhire, offers a mix of convenience, flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and comfort, making it an excellent choice for exploring the city and its attractions.
