To rent a car in East Africa you will need a home or international valid driving license in first place and some companies prefer that you leave some cash with them along with a photocopy of your passport – no money is however taken unless you damage the vehicle severely. Before setting off, check the car thoroughly for damage or defects as soon as you get the keys. If damage is not already detailed on the paperwork, report it now and get someone to note it on all copies.
It’s a good idea to photograph the car too, to capture the condition in which you picked it up. When returning the vehicle, be on time, stick to the fuel plan, inspect the car (photograph it again to be thorough), be sure to remove all of your belongings and don’t forget to return the keys!
