    Excellent service and comfortable vehicle

    Jidraf showed up on time and took us around to where we needed to go in Nairobi in search of some specific items. He even took us over to a nice restaurant in the Westlands area. Great friendly service. Would book through them again with no hesitation

    Fantastic private day tour

    Gabriel was our driver he was fantastic. He picked us up, waited for us as we were running late, we covered a lot of ground in our day together, he was very informative about the country, the history, the city and every other question we put to him. We highly recommend you spend the day with Gabriel when in Nairobi !!

    We had drivers provided...

    We had drivers provided by a local tour company in which Viator uses for 2 different days. One day the experience was excellent with Tim providing an enormous amount of experience and knowledgeable as a guide. He was patient and helpful with navigating markets, sightseeing, and even more. The next day we had Julius as a guide and he was very friendly, but got lost while trying to drive us to the ostrich farm and after allowed for local people to haggle with us over giving them money for involuntarily taking pictures of my family and then demanding money for them while at City Park. The incident was so intense that the local followed my family and I to the guide’s car when we refused to provide money and then continued to bang on the window until the driver rolled it down (against our demand for the driver to not engage and to instead drive away). Nonetheless he continued to speak Swahili at the driver, while pointing and yelling at my family and I in the backseat. Thankfully we left unharmed. This event could’ve been avoided if the driver was more assertive with the locals.

    Response from the operator: Thanks for the concerns we dont have driver Tim and Julius in our company and we dont sub hire too.Our drivers are Gabriel and Gidraf for city tours with driver. Kindly advise which company for its not East Africa Shuttles and Safaris

    Private car hire with a driver in Nairobi Kenya: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nairobi.

    How much does Private car hire with a driver in Nairobi Kenya cost?

    +

    Prices start at $120 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Nairobi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Private car hire with a driver in Nairobi Kenya take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Nairobi is not rushed.

    Is Private car hire with a driver in Nairobi Kenya worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Nairobi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Private car hire with a driver in Nairobi Kenya?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Private car hire with a driver in Nairobi Kenya suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private car hire with a driver in Nairobi Kenya?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Nairobi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Nairobi and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private car hire with a driver in Nairobi Kenya start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Nairobi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Nairobi?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Nairobi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Wild 5-Day Safari: Magical Mara, Nakuru Wonders & Hell's Gate, 2 Days Amboseli Safari using a 4x4 Landcruiser jeep(with options), Kibera Slum Tour with Lucas. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Nairobi?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Nairobi?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Private car hire with a driver in Nairobi Kenya?

    +

    Included: Private transportation. Not included: All Fees and Taxes. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Private car hire with a driver in Nairobi Kenya include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 83 listed pickup locations in and around Nairobi. Be ready about 10 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Private car hire with a driver in Nairobi Kenya?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Private car hire with a driver in Nairobi Kenya wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Private car hire with a driver in Nairobi Kenya if the weather is bad?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Nairobi. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
