Two Ways to Get Moving
What you can book a car for in Mombasa
Car hire for coastal trips
- Airport pickup and drop-off at Moi International Airport
- Hotel-to-hotel or hotel-to-town trips along the coastal strip
- Day trips further along the coast. Diani, Malindi, Watamu, or wherever your plans take you
- Multi-day hire for the length of your coastal stay, so you're not re-booking daily
🧑✈️ Car Hire With a Driver

Both options are available. If you're not familiar with coastal roads or traffic patterns, most visitors choose a driver, but self-drive is an option if you'd prefer full independence.

Let us know your planned route when booking so we can confirm the right vehicle and any relevant terms for a longer coastal trip.
