 Verified Self Drive Car rental
I recently rented a self-drive car in Kenya and had an excellent experience. The vehicle was in great condition, fully equipped with a rooftop tent and camping gear, and handled various terrains effortlessly. Customer service was outstanding—responsive and helpful throughout the process. Renting a self-drive car gave me the freedom to explore Kenya at my own pace. Highly recommend!
