Long-Term & Monthly Car Hire in Nairobi

For executives on long assignments, visiting expats setting up, projects running for a quarter, or teams who need reliable transport without the ownership overhead — long-term chauffeured hire gives you a dedicated driver, a consistent vehicle, and a single monthly invoice. You get the utility of a car without the insurance, maintenance, fuel reconciliation, or driver management.

Who chooses long-term hire

Visiting executives on three-to-six-month assignments. Expats in their first year before deciding on a personal vehicle. Project teams from consulting, construction, NGO, or development agencies running for a quarter or more. Hotel GMs who need flex-capacity for visiting ownership. Any scenario where you need a car more than a week and less than a purchase.

Weekly, monthly, and project rates

Weekly rates apply for 7–29 day engagements. Monthly rates kick in from 30 days and drop the effective daily cost substantially. Project rates (3+ months) include additional flexibility on vehicle swaps, driver leave cover, and mileage. All rates are fixed at contract signing — no quiet upgrades on renewal.

Vehicle availability

Mercedes E-Class is the standard long-term executive vehicle. Prado is most common for project teams and expat household hire. V-Class for group transport on long assignments. S-Class and V8 are available on long-term with a small premium. Specific vehicles are held for the term of the contract — you get the same car end-to-end.

Driver continuity

One primary chauffeur assigned for the duration of the contract. You learn each other; they learn your routines, preferred routes, common drop-offs, and small preferences. A vetted backup chauffeur is briefed on your account for leave and rest cover so you never see a service gap.

Replacement vehicle policy

If your assigned vehicle needs servicing, you get a like-for-like replacement (or an upgrade at no charge) for the duration. Servicing is scheduled outside your use hours wherever possible — weekends or after-hours — so you never notice.

Corporate billing on long-term

Long-term hire runs on the same corporate account structure as our other services — consolidated monthly VAT invoices, cost-centre tagging, rider-level detail, dedicated dispatcher. Individual long-term hire (non-corporate) is billed monthly by card, M-Pesa, or bank transfer.

Mileage and fuel terms

Standard monthly packages include a generous daily mileage allowance that covers executive commuting and routine meetings. Overage is billed per kilometre at the rate disclosed in the contract. Fuel is included in the package — no reconciliation or receipts to track on your end.

Pricing

Transparent pricing, zero surprises

Every ride is quoted up front — fixed price by vehicle class and route, no surge, no end-of-trip adjustments. Request a firm number and we return one the same day.

  • Fixed price confirmed at booking
  • No airport or peak-hour surge
  • VAT-compliant invoicing for corporates
What clients say

Trusted for long-term hire.

Monthly chauffeured hire took the whole transport problem off my plate for my first year. Same driver, clean Prado, no surprises on the invoice.

Expat on assignment
Energy sector, Gigiri

Consistently on time, always presented well, and our EAs love how little they have to chase. The monthly invoice alone saves us a day a month.

We moved our entire board arrivals programme to Pharrell last quarter. Meet-and-greet at JKIA, clean S-Class, direct to the hotel — no friction.

Frequently asked questions

What is the minimum term?
Weekly rates start at seven days. Monthly rates start at 30 days. There is no hard minimum beyond that — daily and hourly rates apply for shorter engagements.
How does renewal work?
Monthly contracts renew automatically on the same terms unless either party gives 14 days notice. Rates are locked for the original contract period; renewals may reflect current pricing.
Can I swap vehicles mid-term?
Yes — common on itineraries that move from city executive work to upcountry or safari legs. We typically charge a small administrative fee for swaps and match the new vehicle to the new use case.
Is there a mileage cap?
Standard monthly packages include a generous daily mileage allowance covering typical executive use. Overage is billed per kilometre at a rate disclosed in the contract. Project teams and heavy-mileage use cases get custom allowances.
Is fuel included?
Yes. Fuel is included in the monthly rate. No receipts, no reconciliation, no pump stops on your end.
Can we use the vehicle at weekends?
Yes. Weekend use is included in the monthly rate subject to the daily mileage allowance. Personal weekend trips (trips outside Nairobi) are usually fine; confirm with your account manager for extended weekends.
What happens if I need to terminate early?
Early termination is respected. Monthly contracts have a 14-day notice period; unused days in a paid month are not refunded, but the notice covers the transition cleanly.
