How Much Does Family Car Hire in Kenya Cost?
The cost of hiring a family car in Kenya depends on three things: the type of vehicle you choose, whether you need a driver, and how long you need the car for. To give you a clear starting point, here are our current rates:
| Vehicle | Seats | Daily Rate (With Driver) | Fuel |
| Toyota Noah / Voxy | 7 | KES 10,000 / day | Excluded |
| Toyota RAV4 / Vanguard | 5 | KES 10,000 / day | Excluded |
| Toyota Prado TX150 | 5–7 | KES 15,000 / day | Excluded |
| 14-Seater Van (within Nairobi) | 14 | From KES 18,000 / day | Included |
| 22-Seater Coaster Bus | 22 | From KES 20,000 / day | Included |
All chauffeured rates above include a professional driver. Fuel is included for the 14-seater van within Nairobi. For the Prado TX150, fuel is charged separately based on your actual usage.
Self-drive options are also available for select vehicles such as the Toyota Noah, Voxy, and RAV4. To get an exact quote tailored to your family size, destination, and travel dates, please fill in our family car hire quote form or WhatsApp us directly.
Best Family Cars for Hire in Kenya (7-Seater to Bus)
We have a wide fleet to choose from. Here is a breakdown of the most popular family cars and what each one is best suited for.
1. 7-Seater Car Hire in Nairobi – Toyota Noah, Voxy & More
The Toyota Noah and Toyota Voxy are our most popular family car hires in Kenya. They are spacious, comfortable, and very well suited for families of up to 7 passengers travelling on tarmac roads — whether that is a holiday trip to Mombasa, a dowry function, a burial, or a school holiday road trip. The Nissan Serena and Honda Stepwagon are equally good alternatives in this category.
If your family is heading to a game park or needs a vehicle that can handle upcountry roads and rough terrain, we recommend a tourist van such as the Toyota Hiace Tour Van or Toyota Land Cruiser Safari Van. Both are 7-seaters with the ground clearance needed for Kenya’s roads during the rainy season.
2. Toyota Prado TX150 – The Best Family 4×4 for Hire.
For families that want a combination of luxury, space, and off-road ability, the Toyota Prado TX150 is the top choice. It is ideal for safaris to Masai Mara, Amboseli, Tsavo, and Samburu, as well as upcountry travel, where roads are not always in good condition. It seats 5 to 7 passengers comfortably and is available with a driver at KES 15,000 per day (fuel excluded).
3. Midsize 4×4 SUV Hire – RAV4 & Vanguard.
The Toyota RAV4 and Toyota Vanguard are excellent for the nuclear family of 5. They are compact enough for city driving but capable enough for weekend getaways and light off-road use. Both are available with a driver at KES 10,000 per day.
4. Large Family? We Have Vans and Buses Too.
For extended family travel — think family reunions, funerals, weddings, or uthoni (dowry) functions. We offer 14-seater vans, 22-seater Coaster buses, and larger Mercedes-Benz buses in 29-seater, 33-seater, and 39-seater configurations. These are available with a professional driver and can be hired for use within Kenya or across East Africa.
Cheap Family Car Hire in Kenya – Rates That Fit Your Budget.
At Bamm Tours, we believe that every family deserves a comfortable ride — regardless of budget. That is why our family car hire rates are designed to be pocket-friendly without cutting corners on safety or comfort.
Whether you need a car for just one day, a full week, or several months, we will work with your budget. Longer hires attract discounted daily rates. And if you are flexible on the exact model, we can always suggest the best available option that gives you the most space for the best price.
It does not matter whether you are planning a holiday vacation, visiting the in-laws for an uthoni, heading to a burial, or taking the children on a day trip. We have a family car hire solution for you. Simply tell us your needs, and we will get you sorted.
Luxury Family Car Hire Kenya – Prado, V8 & Range Rover
When only the best will do, Bamm Tours has a range of luxury family vehicles to choose from. The Toyota Prado TX150 and Toyota Land Cruiser LC300 V8 are the two most popular luxury family car hires in Kenya. Both offer exceptional comfort, powerful performance, and enough space for the whole family plus luggage.
For those who want to make a statement, the Range Rover Sport, Range Rover Velar, and Range Rover Autobiography are also available. These are a favourite for family functions such as weddings, graduations, and corporate events.
For bigger families needing luxury transport, we can arrange a Mercedes-Benz bus in 29-seater, 33-seater, or 39-seater options. These are all popular for wedding convoys, burial transport, and dowry functions. Of course, these luxury buses are available for hire within Kenya and across East Africa and Southern Africa.
