Kenya car hire- Magical Africa Safaris Ltd

Car hire in Kenya.

The best thing is that while bookings a car in Kenya we always advice on the best accommodation options depending on your itinerary. Safari safety and general guide rules are important to us.

Car hire in Kenya is easy. The hirer or authorised driver must be over 23 years of age to and under 70 years of age to be authorised to hire a car hire in Kenya. The hirer or authorised driver must also be in possession of proper means of identification other than a driving licence.

Self Drive cars in Kenya are hired subject to the company’s standard form of agreement. Notwithstanding the above conditions the company reserves the right to refuse to hire vehicles to any person at its own discretion. The Company may also require the use of a driver from the Company at the Renter’s expense on some custom made vehicles.

Car hire in Kenya compared to other countries may seem higher, this is due to the high insurance premiums. All rates below are indicated in USD.

A driving licence from the country of residence or any international driver permit is generally acceptable, provided valid as above.

REFUSAL OF CAR HIRE

WAIVERS & INSURANCE
The vehicle is insured for third party damage and liability. The Renter may take the option of Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Theft Protection Waiver (TPW) to reduce liability in the event of accident or theft. When taking CDW and TPW, a deductible applies and tyres, tools and the vehicle’s radio are not covered. The Renter can waive these liabilities by also electing to pay the Excess Liability Waiver (ELW) at the time of rental.
We also offer insurance against loss of your personal effects from the vehicle. The Personal Effects Cover (PEC) is available at 800.- shillings per day.

Personal Accident Insurance (PAI) offers emergency evacuation and medical aid in the event of an accident. This insurance is available at US$ 25 for 7 days and US$ 45 for 14 days cover... See insurance packages
