Toyota Hilux Double Cab for Hire in Nairobi

Toyota Hilux Double Cab for hire Nairobi Kenya

A Toyota Hilux double cab for hire gives you two things in one vehicle: a cabin for five people and an open bed for tools, equipment and supplies. At Bamm Tours, it costs KES 15,000 a day within Nairobi, with a professional driver and fuel excluded. As a result, it is a popular choice for construction firms, engineers, NGOs and field teams.

Many Kenyans call it a double cabin or simply a pickup. Whatever you call it, this guide covers the rates, which models we offer, monthly project hire and how to book.

1. The double cab for the full day, from 6am to 6pm.
2. A professional driver who knows Nairobi roads and site routes.
3. Support from our team if your plans change during the hire.

Every booking is chauffeured, so we do not release pickups for self drive. We price overnight and upcountry trips separately. Therefore, ask us what your quote covers before you confirm.

Why Companies Hire a Double Cab

For the most part, our double cab clients use them for work rather than leisure.

1. Construction and site visits, where engineers carry tools and samples between sites.
2. NGO and field work, especially on rough roads outside town.
3. Survey and project teams who need space for people and equipment.
4. Moving and deliveries, for light loads that do not need a truck.

In addition, many of our corporate clients combine a double cab with corporate car hire for their managers. However, for heavier loads, a canter truck or one of our lorries for hire is the better fit.

Which Double Cab Should You Choose?

The Toyota Hilux is the pickup our clients ask for most often, usually by name. Even so, we also offer the Isuzu D-Max, the Nissan Navara and the Ford Ranger at the same day rate.

In practice, the main difference for most clients is the gearbox. Our Hilux and D-Max listings are manual, while the Navara and Ranger are automatic. So if your driver preference or route matters, tell us when you book. Otherwise, we confirm whichever double cab is free on your date.

Need a Self Drive Pickup?

However, many people search for a pickup for hire on a self drive basis. We hire out double cabs with a driver only, because most of our pickups work on project sites and rough roads.

If you want to drive yourself, a self drive SUV is the usual alternative. For example, our Prado TX for hire handles long trips and rough roads well. You can also read our self drive car hire guide before you book.

Monthly and Project Double Cab Hire

Projects often run for months, so many clients hire a double cab by the month. The Toyota Hilux costs KES 300,000 per month with a driver, excluding fuel. In addition, you pay monthly hire one full month in advance.

For longer contracts, see our guide to car leasing in Kenya. Alternatively, our long term car rental page covers saloons and SUVs for staff.
