Keep your own car. Hire the driver. Our private driver service in Nairobi gives you a vetted, professional chauffeur on daily, weekly, or monthly terms — for school runs, errands, meetings, family transport, and everything in between. Ideal for expats in their first year, families juggling multiple schedules, and executives who own a car but want to stop driving it.
Daily private driver hire for single-day needs or trial periods. Weekly and monthly contracts for ongoing arrangements. Most private driver clients run on monthly engagements where the driver becomes a regular part of the household or office team.
Every private driver passes background checks, holds a valid Kenyan driving licence, and has clean NTSA records. Defensive-driving certification, first aid training, and household-service etiquette are standard. References available for long-term engagements. Your driver is the same person across the contract.
School runs across Nairobi. Grocery and errand trips. Airport transfers using your own vehicle. Business meetings across the city. Evening events. Weekend family trips upcountry. Any use where having a second set of hands and eyes on the road makes the day work.
Private driver hire is distinct from chauffeured car hire: you provide the vehicle; we provide the driver. If you would rather hire both, see our executive car hire service instead. Private driver rates are lower because no vehicle, fuel, or insurance is included.
Your own vehicle insurance must cover third-party or full cover with a driver clause. We recommend confirming with your insurer before starting. We provide a driver competency guarantee, but the vehicle insurance remains yours.
Standard private driver engagements are 10 hours per day, 6 days a week, with Sunday off (or rotated). Overtime is charged per hour at a pre-agreed rate. Public holidays follow a separate rate. All hours are logged and tracked transparently.
On long-term engagements, your driver is guaranteed seven days of annual leave and is entitled to statutory public holidays. During leave, a vetted backup driver fills in — briefed on your household or office routines in advance so there is no disruption.
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.
“Monthly chauffeured hire took the whole transport problem off my plate for my first year. Same driver, clean Prado, no surprises on the invoice.”
“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.”
