Car Hire in Eastleigh, Nairobi

Car hire delivered across Eastleigh

Eastleigh is like nowhere else in Nairobi — a dense, round-the-clock commercial district just east of the city centre that has grown into one of East Africa's great trading hubs. Its avenues are lined with malls, wholesale shops, hotels and eateries, and buyers travel here from across Kenya and neighbouring countries to stock up on clothing, textiles, electronics and household goods.

In streets this busy, getting a car to exactly where you need it matters. Anapa Car Rentals delivers and collects vehicles throughout Eastleigh, from the hotels and malls along First and Second Avenue to the shops around General Waruinge Street and the businesses on the edges towards Pangani, Ngara and Pumwani. We bring the car to you, so you spend your time trading, not travelling to fetch keys.

Choose your vehicle and dates, and we deliver it fuelled, clean and fully insured — then collect it again when your business in Eastleigh is done.

Built for traders and business shoppers

Eastleigh runs on trade, and trade means moving goods. Whether you are buying stock to resell upcountry or picking up bulk orders for a shop, a saloon car and a taxi will only get you so far. Our SUVs and larger vehicles give you the boot space to carry purchases yourself, on your own schedule, without paying repeatedly for cabs or waiting on delivery.

For traders spending a few days buying across the district, a hire car by the day or week keeps everything moving — from supplier to supplier, mall to warehouse, and back to your hotel — with the flexibility that fixed-route transport simply cannot offer.

Convenient for visiting business travellers

Eastleigh's many hotels host a constant stream of visitors — traders, family members and business people arriving from other towns and from across the region. If you are staying here, a reliable car makes the whole trip easier, whether you need to reach meetings in the CBD and Industrial Area or simply get around town comfortably after a long journey.

Prefer not to drive in unfamiliar, congested streets? Our chauffeur service is ideal. An experienced local driver knows the shortcuts, handles the parking and the one-way avenues, and lets you focus on the reason you came. We can also collect you from the airport and have the car ready for the length of your stay.

Navigate Eastleigh's busy streets with ease

There is no getting around it — Eastleigh is congested, and its narrow, crowded avenues can be daunting if you do not know them. That is exactly why we offer a choice. Confident drivers who know the area can take a self-drive car and enjoy the freedom to come and go as they please, while everyone else can leave the traffic to a professional chauffeur.

Either way you get a well-maintained, insured vehicle and our round-the-clock support, so a breakdown or a wrong turn is never something you have to face alone.

Airport transfers to and from Eastleigh

Many of Eastleigh's visitors and traders fly in and out, and the last thing anyone wants after a long flight — or before an early departure — is uncertainty about their ride. We provide fixed-price transfers between Eastleigh and Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA), with flight tracking and a meet-and-greet so your driver is there when you land.

Arriving to do business? We can have a self-drive car or a chauffeur waiting at the airport and ready to use across Eastleigh and the rest of Nairobi throughout your stay.

Timing your visit to Eastleigh

Eastleigh trades early and stays busy well into the evening, and the difference between arriving at eight in the morning and arriving at midday is considerable. Traders who need to move between several suppliers generally start early, when the avenues are still passable and loading is straightforward, then use the afternoon for collections rather than fresh buying.

If you are unfamiliar with the area, a chauffeur driven vehicle is worth serious consideration. The streets are narrow, parking is genuinely difficult during trading hours, and having a driver who can wait with the vehicle while you go into a building removes the single biggest frustration of shopping here with a car.

Carrying goods safely

If you are buying in volume, keep purchases in the boot rather than visible on the back seat, and plan to return to the vehicle between suppliers rather than carrying everything with you through the crowds. Our larger vehicles have the capacity for a substantial day of buying without anything being left in view.
