Guide
What to know before you rent
An SUV is the car most visitors want for a Rwanda road trip. Higher ground clearance helps on the unpaved and rutted roads near the Volcanoes National Park trailheads and inside Akagera National Park, especially in the rainy seasons (roughly March to May and October to November).
Not every SUV is four wheel drive. If you need 4x4, ask the host before you book. You can message them from the listing.
Ask about 4x4
Listings show seats, transmission and fuel. If four wheel drive matters for your route, confirm it with the host in a message before booking.
Seven seats are common
Many SUVs here have a third row, which helps for families and small groups heading to the parks.
Check the spare
Before a park trip, check the spare tire and jack with the host at pickup during the handoff inspection.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to rent an SUV in Kigali?
Right now 43 SUVs are listed in Kigali, from $34 to $120 a day. The host sets the price, and it is shown before you book.
Do I need a 4x4 for Akagera National Park?
A 4x4 or SUV is strongly advised for driving yourself in Akagera, especially in the wet seasons. Many SUVs listed are not four wheel drive, so confirm with the host before you book.
Is an SUV needed for gorilla trekking in Volcanoes National Park?
The roads to the Kinigi trailheads can be rough, so an SUV or another high clearance car is recommended. Trekking starts early in the morning, so most people stay in Musanze the night before.
Where do I pick up the SUV?
You pick the car up from the host at their location in Kigali. Vumvum rentals are self drive, and there is no delivery or driver option. After you book, message the host in the app to agree on the exact pickup time and place.
