Kigali has a well-developed road network, but some streets and parking areas can be narrow or congested. A compact or mid-size car can be advantageous, offering better maneuverability and easier parking in tight spaces. While most main roads in Kigali are well-maintained, some remote areas or side streets may have uneven surfaces or potholes. Selecting a Kigali car rental with good suspension and ground clearance can provide a more comfortable ride, especially if you plan to explore rural areas outside the city.

The speed limit in Kigali varies depending on the category of the road, as well as the location. For instance, built-up areas, including residential and commercial zones, have a maximum speed limit of 40 km/h (25 mph). This limit aims to ensure the safety of pedestrians, cyclists, and other road users in busy city environments. Furthermore, the speed limit on roads outside built-up areas is usually 60 km/h (37 mph). This limit applies to highways, rural roads, and intercity routes.
