FAQ
Questions before you book
What do I need to rent a car?
A valid driving license and a verified Vumvum account (you confirm your ID in the app). Visitors to Rwanda should also carry an International Driving Permit and their passport, and get the permit before traveling. Confirm current rules with Rwanda National Police.
Is the rental insured?
Yes. Every rental on Vumvum is insured.
Can I cancel for free?
Yes. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before pickup.
How does pickup work? Can the car be delivered?
You meet the host and pick the car up at their location. There is no delivery, so cars are not brought to hotels or the airport. After booking, message the host in the app to agree on the time and place, then do a quick handoff inspection together.
What if something goes wrong during my rental?
Contact Vumvum support. Real humans are available 24/7.
What currency are prices in?
Hosts set daily rates in US dollars (USD). Vumvum shows prices in your local currency where we support it (for example Rwandan francs in Rwanda), converted at the current exchange rate, and you can pick another display currency in settings. Some hosts offer weekly or monthly discounts, shown on their listing.
