Why You Should Pre‑Book Your Kigali Airport Transfer

Many travelers arrive at Kigali International Airport expecting to find a taxi easily. While there are taxis available, they often come with challenges:

• Unpredictable pricing – some drivers charge tourists double.

• Language barriers – not all drivers speak English or French.

• Car condition – older vehicles without air conditioning or seatbelts.

• Safety – unlicensed drivers may have poor training.

• No flight tracking – if your flight is delayed, they may leave.

When you pre‑book with Rent Car Kigali, you eliminate all these risks. You get:

• A guaranteed, clean, air‑conditioned vehicle.

• A vetted, English‑speaking chauffeur.

• Fixed, fair pricing – no surprises.

• Real‑time flight tracking – we wait for you.

• 24/7 customer support – if any issue arises, we solve it.

Frequently Asked Questions – Kigali Airport Transfer (KGL)

How do I find my driver at KGL airport?

Our chauffeur will be waiting in the arrivals hall just after you exit customs and baggage claim. They will hold a sign with your name and the Rent Car Kigali logo. If you do not see them immediately, call our 24/7 hotline – we will guide you.

What if my flight is delayed?

No problem. We track your flight’s real‑time status. If it is delayed, we adjust our arrival time. You are not charged extra for delays caused by the airline.

Do you offer a meet‑and‑greet service inside the terminal?

Yes. Our chauffeur will be inside the arrivals area, not outside. This is included in all airport transfer bookings.

Can I book a round trip (airport to hotel and back)?

Absolutely. Book a return transfer and save 10% on the total price. We will coordinate both pickup times with you.

What happens if I can’t find my driver?

Call or WhatsApp our 24/7 support number (provided in your confirmation). We will locate your driver immediately or send a replacement within 15‑20 minutes.

Is there a waiting time charge?

The first 60 minutes after your flight lands are free. After that, we charge 10,000 RWF per 30 minutes (to cover driver’s time and parking). This rarely happens because most passengers clear immigration within 45 minutes.

Do you accept payment on arrival?

Yes. You can pay the chauffeur directly in Rwandan Francs (RWF), USD (at a reasonable exchange rate), or via mobile money (MTN MoMo or Airtel Money). For corporate accounts, we can invoice you.

Can I make a stop on the way from the airport?

Yes – for a quick stop at a supermarket, pharmacy, or ATM. We charge a small extra fee of 10,000 RWF for a stop of up to 15 minutes.

What if I have a lot of luggage?

When you book, please tell us the number and size of suitcases. We will assign a vehicle with adequate space. For example, a Toyota Corolla can take 2 large suitcases + 2 carry‑ons. For more luggage, book an SUV or minibus.

Do you provide child seats?

Yes – free of charge. Please request when booking. We have forward‑facing seats for children aged 2‑6 years.

Can I book for someone else (e.g., a colleague or family member)?

Yes – just provide their name, flight details, and destination. We will meet them with a sign bearing their name.

What is your cancellation policy?

Free cancellation up to 6 hours before scheduled pickup. After that, a 50% cancellation fee applies. For no‑show, full fare is charged.
