Car Rental Kenya

The East-African nation of Kenya has emerged as one of the most powerful economic nations in the region, with a fast-growing middle-class and the combination of its growing economy and vast natural resources and eco-tourism make renting a car in Kenya a popular choice.

While Kenya is still classified as a developing country, visitors may be surprised by the affluent lifestyle of middle to upper-class Kenyans. Income disparity still creates a wide gap in the living conditions within Kenya, but its tropical climate, fantastic sunshine year-round and the many points of interest and activities available to visitors in Nairobi have made it a fantastic location to visit in East Africa, and a Kenya rental car is the preferred way to navigate Nairobi and the rural sections of this nation.

There are five regions to explore by car in Kenya, and each offers something unique to travelers hoping for an authentic African tourism experience. These regions are the Northern Rift Valley, Southern Rift Valley, Coastal Kenya, Eastern Kenya and Western Kenya.
