    Yes — you can have a rental car waiting for you at Kigali International Airport (KGL). Airport pickup is one of the most convenient ways to start your trip.

    How airport pickup works

    Rather than a rental desk queue, we offer meet-and-greet delivery: our team meets you outside arrivals with the car, completes a quick handover and inspection, and you're on your way. Just share your flight number and arrival time when booking. Learn more on our Kigali airport car rental page.

    What to have ready

    • Your driver's licence (and IDP if needed).
    • Passport.
    • The deposit and payment.

    Driving from the airport

    Kigali city centre is only a short, easy drive from the airport on good roads — a gentle introduction before any longer trips. If you'd rather not drive straight after a flight, we can provide a driver for the first leg. Prefer to arrange it now? Send your flight details on WhatsApp.
