The longer the duration of renting the car, the lower the car rental price and vice versa. After agreement on the final price with your car provider, the system of payment is communicated; Pesa Pal or through a bank account. An invoice that includes the bank account is issued. You also agree on the percentage of money to pay as deposit.

Depending which car rental company you are dealing with, you will pay a deposit of 30% or 50% of the price quote. You can choose to pay full amount but if you can’t, then pay the balance upon arrival when picking the car.
- Confirm booking
When the car provider receives the deposit, they issue a soft copy of the stamped and signed receipt and send it to you to show what you have paid for. This confirms your reservation of the car.
- Pick up your rental car
Before setting off to go pick your car, remember to carry the documents required by the car providers. You are requested to present your national ID or passport photo when going to pick the car. And before handing over the car keys, you must complete the balance of car rental price.
