Joe was incredibly helpful with all our requests. We rented a reliable vehicle, with a rooftop tent and he arranged a car for us with Ugandan plates after we requested this shortly before our trip. He was very fast to response to our questions before and during the rental period. Car rentals Rwanda even helped us get to the airport after our trip, great service!

Just amazing service, we took a car for 11 days. Contact on WhatsApp was great, everything was clear we chose self-drive option. Cars are in good or even great condition.Our car’s fuel pomp broke down (it aslo broke once in my own car, so it happen and there is nothing to worry about) while a trip in Akagera National Park, so quite long way from Kigali, and also we were on Camping in the center of the park, we get new car as replacement in about 5/6 hours, which was even better than previous without any extra costs.I sincerely recommend this rental company; they didn’t let me down in a difficult situation, which speaks best of them.Stay safe Guys and thank you once again!

Perfect! My plan was to visit Rwanda and Uganda by self driving and so I looked up for a rental company on the internet. I contacted Car Rentals Rwanda and got response to all my questions within minutes or at least the following day.The fares were fair for pick up in Kigali and drop-off in Kampala (4WD Toyota 600$ rent + 150$, very good for Akagera Park) and the car was brought to our hotel to start the adventure. The car was in great condition and for crossing the border all the papers were already prepared so the procedure just took a few minutes (marks on some papers..).Cashless payment was a great option and without any problem. Defninite recommendation and thanks for the great adventure!

The car was in good shape and we drove it from Kigali to Akagera with no problem. Good service and good price. He delivered the car where we wanted to, so very kind.

Response from the owner 12:12 04 Dec 24

We truly appreciate your kind feedback! It's fantastic to hear you had a seamless journey from Kigali to Akagera and enjoyed our service. We look forward to welcoming you back for another amazing adventure in Rwanda or Uganda.

My brother and I rented a car through Joe for just under a week. The process was smooth and easy, with Joe dropping the vehicle to us and also collecting from us which made things so much easier for us. Joe was responsive and easy to communicate with. It was a great experience and highly recommend renting a car through Joe.

Response from the owner 20:48 08 Nov 24

We had rented a Prado for 3 weeks in Rwanda and Uganda. Renting the car was easy, same as pick up and return. Since the car was quite old, (>12 years), we had some technical issues. Nevertheless Joe was always easy to reach and all problems were solved. Regarding the sometimes really bad roads, the car did a good job. Overall a recommendable agency!

We really appreciated the services provided by Joe. He is very responsive by WhatsApp and travels to the hotel. The rental cost is competitive compared to the competition. We particularly appreciated the following points:1) We first rented a Hyundai Santa Fe car and upon our request Joe immediately replaced the front tires.2) Then, the car having a problem en route, he immediately sent a replacement car (Kia Sorrento model) at night while we were in Musanze (in the north of the country).3) He agreed to let us have the car for an extra half day at no charge.

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!

Tobias Busse

We rented a car for 5 days and experienced outstanding customer service. There were some problems with the car at the beginning, but we were helped as quickly as possible at all times. One Evening in Akagera National Park the car would not turn on and the next morning, we had a replacement car brought from Kigali into the National Park! This car then accompanied us reliably for the remaining days. The handovers were uncomplicated and were where it was most convenient for us. We can highly recommend the car rental company and would rent here again at any time. Thanks for all the effort!

Fantastic company. Fast responses to messages, reliable and punctual pick up and drop off of the car. Solid car that held up to an intense week of touring around Rwanda, including a few days bumping around Akagera.I would recommend this company happily.

Great car rental company! The two owners were really kind, responsive and helped us a lot during the whole trip. We could pick up the car at the airport and let it in the rental office our last day. We rented a Toyota Prado, well equipped and appropriate to any Rwandan road. Highly recommended 🙂

Simone Banks

16:45 03 Apr 24

Had a fabulous experience with Car Rentals Rwanda, booked from the UK and they were very helpful and communicative about the size of car we would need for our journey. Car was in great condition, and we asked for an exchange for one without a wheel inside, to allow for more luggage space, they immediately came to our hotel to exchange the car for a more appropriate one. Travelled nearly 1000km across the whole of Rwanda without any issues and no extras such as additional mileage. They were waiting for us at the airport before our flight home, and no additional charges for late drop off. Would highly recommend and would definitely use again when visiting Rwanda 🇷🇼

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.

Car Rentals Rwanda provided us with excellent service. Joe is a great guy to work with. Punctual and he has lots of patience - we had lots of questions about hiring vehicles in Rwanda. The vehicle was clean and in good condition. I can recommend Joe anytime.
