What Our Renters Say

★★★★★
The Land Cruiser was perfect for Akagera. Our Manoir driver spotted lions before any other vehicle. Cold water in the fridge, leather seats — safari done right.
Amara Kamara
🇳🇬 Nigeria · January 2025
★★★★★
We self-drove Rwanda for 10 days in the RAV4 — Kigali to Nyungwe to Kibuye to Musanze. The car was immaculate, GPS worked perfectly, and the Manoir team answered every question instantly.
Tom & Alice
🇦🇺 Australia · March 2025
★★★★★
We hired the Coaster bus for our company retreat — 24 people, 3 days around Rwanda. Everything flawless. The driver was professional, punctual, and genuinely fun to travel with.

Common Questions

Car Rental FAQ

Do I need a 4WD to visit the national parks?
+
For Akagera, the RAV4 or Fortuner manages most roads in dry season. For Volcanoes and Nyungwe, a proper 4WD (Land Cruiser or Prado) is strongly recommended — mountain and forest tracks can be very steep and muddy. We will advise the best vehicle for your itinerary.
Can I drive across the border into Uganda?
+
Cross-border trips into Uganda are possible but require advance arrangement and additional documentation. Please notify us at least one week in advance. This is a popular option for combining Rwanda gorilla trekking with Bwindi in Uganda. Additional fees apply.
Is driving in Rwanda safe?
+
Rwanda has excellent road infrastructure on main routes and very low crime rates. Kigali roads are well-lit and safe at night. The main hazard is slow-moving vehicles or pedestrians on rural roads. Rwanda has strict traffic enforcement — seatbelts mandatory, zero alcohol tolerance, speed cameras on main roads.
What happens if the car breaks down?
+
Call our 24/7 emergency number immediately. We dispatch roadside assistance or a replacement vehicle depending on the situation. All vehicles carry a first aid kit, reflective triangles, and fire extinguisher. For accidents involving other vehicles, call police (110) and do not move the vehicle until police file a report.
Are there weekly or monthly discounts?
+
Yes — we offer 10% off for weekly rentals (7+ days) and 20% off for monthly rentals (28+ days). Long-term rentals for NGOs, embassies, and corporate clients are available at negotiated rates. Contact us to discuss your specific needs.
