We had a great experience with Joe at Car Rentals Rwanda. Communication was great prior to our arrival and Joe was extremely helpful on our arrival, meeting us at our hotel and helping us sort out a few details before we departed. Joe had everything prepared for our crossing the border into Uganda and our return to Rwanda. Our car was in good shape and handled the trip really well. We'd highly recommend Joe and Car Rentals Rwanda!

We hired a car to travel Rwanda and Uganda. Because we needed to cross the border with Uganda and the Ugandan roads are way more challenging than the Rwandan ones, we got a nice big, high 4x4 land cruiser.
Unfortunately, things do break down once in a while; as happened to our car. It is how people/companies respond to these things that matter. And all the praise here:
We got a new car within two hours, the car was in repair and got switched again when it was ready, the communication was very good in the meantime, we received a complementary day with a safari guide to make up for the roads we couldn't (/were challenging to) travel in Queen Elizabeth Park and we got a refund for the extra money we had to pay in Uganda because we had to pay more for a Rwandan car (which was the substitute car).
Yes, it sucked that the car broke down, but the way Joe handled this was absolutely great. Therefore still a 5 star review and a recommendation.
Also, the cars were strong, clean and not old. An extra scratch didn't matter and everything was though of. The car was delivered and picked up in our hotels and the handovers were smooth.
A compliment for this company and in particular to Joe! Communication is key and they totally understand this. A company to trust.

Had a really good experience with Car rentals Rwanda. We rented a rav 4, for a week and drove across the country and back.

Car was clean, and almost fully functional, the fuel gauge was faulty, but that was explained when we collected the vehicle. Price was reasonable too. Joe met us at the airport departing and arriving and was patient, polite and helpful.

They were also able to arrange a car seat for my 2 year old son which was great too.

Would happily use them again, next time I'm in Rwanda.

For anyone considering a self drive trip in Rwanda, I would highly recommend it, as it makes getting around so much easier and the infrastructure (and driving practices) are really good when compared to other places in East Africa.

We went with Joe mainly because of the honest reviews others had shared—and we’re so glad we did! A lot of rental companies didn’t feel very trustworthy, and it would’ve been easy to fall into a scam. But Joe was the total opposite. He was super helpful, reliable, and quick to respond from start to finish. When the car had a few issues, he immediately sent a mechanic. And when it broke down on a hill on the way to Kigali, he personally came to pick us up and delivered a replacement car. He truly went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. I highly encourage you to book with Joe—you’ll be in great hands! Thank you very much Joe for your kindness and warmth. Keep up the good work! 🙏🙂

Car Rental Rwanda is a totally legit and serious company. Good cars, honnest price, amazing service. Joe would move mountains to help you if you need it. A relation based on trust, the Rwanda way!
We drove with family 11 days around the country, main roads, dust roads, everything.
The car provided was perfect!
Thank you Joe!

We rented a Toyota RAV4 for almost 3 weeks so that we could tour around all of beautiful Rwanda. The Toyota was delivered in excellent condition to us at our hotel in downtown Kigali. We drove around the entire country and sometime on very rough back roads. The Toyota never let us down. We did have one problem when the battery on the remote key died. We could not get into the car or start it. A phone call back to Car Rentals Rwanda had a service technician at our car very quickly. That was the only problem we ever faced. The owner before our trip, during our trip, and at the end of our trip was always extremely helpful. He even drove us to the airport on two different days because we had different flights. That is certainly going well beyond what we ever expected in terms of service. Should we ever return to beautiful Rwanda there is no doubt that we will rent our vehicle once again from Rwanda Car Rentals. Thank you for a great experience. Philip B.
