Group & Event Transport
Moving People Together, Effortlessly
Planning a wedding, a corporate retreat, a school field trip, or a conference with hundreds of attendees? Coordinating transport for groups can be a logistical headache – unless you have the right partner. At Rent Car Kigali, we specialize in group and event transport across Rwanda. Whether you need a single minibus for 14 guests or a fleet of vehicles for a multi‑day conference, we provide reliable, comfortable, and affordable solutions.
From wedding car rental convoys to airport group transfers, from corporate team‑building shuttles to school excursions, our dedicated coordinators handle every detail. You focus on your event; we focus on moving your people. With a modern fleet of minibuses, vans, and 25‑seat coaches – plus optional chauffeurs – Rent Car Kigali ensures that everyone arrives on time, together, and in style.
Our service is available 24/7 across Kigali and all major destinations: Musanze, Akagera, Nyungwe, Lake Kivu, and even cross‑border (with advance notice). Every vehicle is fully insured, air‑conditioned, and equipped with seatbelts for all passengers. We also offer free delivery of vehicles to your event location in Kigali.
Let us help you make your next gathering stress‑free – because when it comes to group travel, we’ve got you covered.
Why Choose Rent Car Kigali for Group & Event Transport?
1. One Point of Contact
No need to coordinate multiple drivers or taxi companies. You will be assigned a dedicated transport coordinator who handles scheduling, vehicle assignments, and real‑time updates. Call or WhatsApp them directly.
2. Diverse Fleet for Any Group Size
From 4‑seat SUVs to 25‑seat coaches, we have the right vehicle for your headcount and luggage needs. Mix and match – for example, a minibus for guests plus a luxury SUV for the VIPs.
3. Professional Chauffeurs Included (or Self‑Drive)
Our drivers are experienced, courteous, and familiar with event protocols. They dress appropriately (formal attire for weddings, casual for school trips). Alternatively, you can opt for self‑drive group rental if you prefer to drive yourself.
4. Flexible Pricing – Hourly, Daily, or Package
We offer transparent rates:
Hourly – for short shuttles (e.g., conference transfers between hotel and venue)
Daily – for full‑day events (e.g., wedding guest transport)
Package – multi‑day, multi‑vehicle events (best value)
5. On‑Time Guarantee
We track traffic, assign backup vehicles, and build in buffer time. If we are late due to our error (not force majeure), we refund 20% of that trip’s fee.
6. Child Seats & Accessibility
Traveling with toddlers or elderly guests? We provide free child seats and can arrange vehicles with extra space for wheelchairs (advance notice required).
7. Real‑Time Tracking (for fleet coordinators)
For large events (10+ vehicles), we provide a live dashboard showing each vehicle’s location and estimated arrival – accessible via a shared link.
8. Corporate & NGO Accounts
We offer monthly invoicing, simplified reporting, and dedicated account managers for organizations that regularly need group transport.

Frequently Asked Questions – Group & Event Transport
How far in advance should I book?
For weddings and large conferences, book at least 2‑4 weeks ahead. For school trips and small group transfers, 48 hours is usually sufficient.
Do you provide child seats?
Yes – free of charge. Please specify age and weight of each child when booking.
Can I have a different pickup point for each guest?
For weddings and corporate events, we can arrange multiple pickup points, but it increases travel time and cost. We recommend 1‑3 central pickup locations.
What if my event runs longer than expected?
Call your transport coordinator. We will try to keep the driver(s) on standby. Additional time is billed at the hourly rate (prorated). No penalty if you notify us at least 1 hour before the original end time.
Are your drivers vaccinated and trained in first aid?
All our drivers are fully vaccinated (COVID‑19) and hold basic first‑aid certificates. For school trips, we assign drivers with additional child safety training.
Do you allow food and drinks in the vehicles?
Yes, but please inform us in advance. For messy items (e.g., ice cream, barbecue), we may request a small cleaning deposit (refundable if vehicle is returned clean).
Can we decorate the vehicles for a wedding or birthday?
Absolutely. You or your decorator may add ribbons, flowers, or decals. Please avoid adhesive tape on paint – use magnets or removable hooks. A damage deposit applies for excessive residue.
What is your cancellation policy?
More than 7 days before event: Full refund of deposit.
3–7 days before: 50% refund of deposit.
Less than 3 days: No refund of deposit, but you may reschedule once within 3 months.
Do you offer alcohol in the vehicles?
No – consumption of alcohol is not permitted in any of our vehicles. A cleaning fee of 50,000 RWF applies if violated.
Can I hire only the driver without a vehicle (e.g., for my own car)?
No – our drivers are employed exclusively for our fleet due to insurance regulations.
