Guide
What to know before you rent
Electric cars are a good fit for driving around Kigali: quiet, smooth in traffic, and no fuel stops for city errands.
Public EV charging in Kigali is still limited. Before you book, ask the host about the car's real world range, how it is charged, and whether a charging cable comes with the car. For long trips to the national parks, plan your charging carefully or choose a fuel car.
Ask about range
Ask the host what range the car gets on a full charge in everyday driving, and what charge level it will have at pickup.
Know where you will charge
Charging options are limited, so agree with the host how and where you can charge during your rental.
Long trips
Volcanoes, Akagera and Nyungwe are long drives from Kigali. A fuel or hybrid car is often the simpler choice for those.
