Common questions
Do you deliver to JKIA airport?
Yes — free pickup and drop-off at JKIA arrivals. We meet you at the meeting point with a name sign. Wilson Airport and Mombasa airport (MIA) are also free. Other Nairobi locations are free; outside the city we charge a small delivery fee.
What's the cheapest car rental Nairobi has?
Our Toyota Vitz at $27/day is among the cheapest car rentals in Nairobi from a registered, insured operator. It's compact, fuel-efficient (16 km/L), automatic, and perfect for Nairobi city driving and short trips. Listings on Jiji or classifieds may go lower — but they typically have no insurance, no roadside, and no recourse.
Self drive or with driver — which is cheaper?
Self drive is always cheaper — no driver allowance, no overnight allowance. With driver typically adds $25-40/day depending on duration and destination. Read our full breakdown →
Can I get a 4×4 car rental in Nairobi for safari?
Yes — our Safari Package fleet includes the Toyota Hilux (from $125/day), Toyota Hiace 4×4 (from $135/day for groups), and the Toyota Land Cruiser Hardroof (from $225/day — the gold standard for Maasai Mara and Samburu). All are 4×4, fitted with pop-up roofs for game viewing, and include a professional safari driver and fuel. Daily rate varies by destination — closer parks (Nairobi NP, Lake Naivasha) are at the lower end; longer-distance parks (Samburu, Tsavo) at the upper end. Park entry fees are billed separately.

Is your car rental cheaper than Jiji Kenya listings?
Sometimes the listed price on Jiji is lower — but Jiji car hire Nairobi is mostly individual car owners with no insurance, no GPS and no roadside support. If something goes wrong (breakdown, accident, vehicle defect), you're on your own. Munwan is a registered company with comprehensive insurance, 24/7 roadside, real office, and recourse if anything goes wrong. Worth the small premium.
Do you accept M-Pesa?
Yes. Pay by M-Pesa, Visa, Mastercard, or Apple Pay. M-Pesa is the most popular for Kenyan customers; international visitors usually use cards or Apple Pay. All payments are processed securely through Paystack.
