The recommended car type of driving in Nairobi depends on several factors, such as road conditions, personal preferences, and traffic patterns. Compact cars like sedans and hatchbacks are ideal for navigating through the city's narrow streets and congested roads, making it easy to maneuver. All-wheel drives (AWD) are more practical if you plan to visit mountainous and off-road attractions like Nairobi National Park. For passengers with a lot of luggage, SUV or crossovers are most preferred as they provide ample space to ensure the bags' safety.
Local authorities control the speed limit in Nairobi, which varies depending on the road and the zone in which you are driving. Highways and expressways in Nairobi have relatively higher speed limits than urban roads. For example, the maximum speed limit on the Nairobi expressway is 50 mph. The driving speed in residential areas is limited to 30 mph. Adjusting your speed according to traffic and prevailing weather conditions is important.
To accommodate the needs of residents and visitors, Nairobi offers various parking options, from street parking to paid parking lots, hotels, and restaurants. Nairobi has numerous paid parking lots in strategic areas like the city center. Central car park on Market St offers paid parking that can be done using mobile devices. Nairobi hotels and restaurants often provide parking spaces for their guests, so you can opt to stay in hotels such as Radisson Blue Hotel and Residence. Parking costs around 200 KES (around 1.50 USD) an hour. Inquiring about parking spaces in advance when booking a hotel or restaurant is advisable.

Pros:
Staff were slow. It took one hour to process my rental. I was pleased to getting my 2000 USD cash depisit as soon as I returned their vehicle. Their fleet is new and fully insured, but body scratches due to nengligence are paid out of pocket.2 locations in Nairobi
