Front three-quarter view
The Porsche Cayenne is the SUV for people who love to drive. It pairs the badge and the handling of a sports car with the space and high seating of an SUV, and it turns heads at a Westlands rooftop bar, a Karen garden wedding or the hotel entrance in Nanyuki. If you are home for something special, this is the car that says so.
A sports car with room for five
Porsche built the Cayenne so that an SUV could drive like a Porsche, and every version comes with all-wheel drive. Behind the wheel it feels sharp and planted, whether you are taking the corners on the escarpment road down to the Rift Valley or cruising the Expressway into town. Inside, you sit high in supportive seats in a cabin finished to the standard you would expect from the badge.
Who hires the Cayenne?
- Diaspora visitors home for a celebration who want something a little different from the usual 4x4.
- Couples on a weekend away to Naivasha or Nanyuki.
- Business travellers who drive themselves and want a car that feels as good as it looks.
- Wedding parties and photo shoots.
- Birthdays, anniversaries and proposals: the Cayenne makes the day feel like an occasion.
Weekends away
With seating for five and a practical boot, the Cayenne handles a long weekend's luggage for a couple or a small family. The drive to Naivasha is about 90 to 100 kilometres (55 to 60 miles), usually 2 to 2.5 hours, and Nanyuki makes a longer, scenic day on the road. Our road trips from Nairobi guide covers routes and current roadworks.
Weddings and events
A Cayenne arriving at the venue makes a statement for the couple, the best man or the parents. Book it with one of our chauffeurs for the day, so nobody has to worry about parking or driving after the reception.
Drive it yourself, or add one of our vetted chauffeurs.
Driving it yourself
You need to be 25 or over, with a driving licence held for at least 2 years (we can sometimes waive this). Many visitors drive on their home licence in English with a photo; check current NTSA rules before you travel, and an International Driving Permit is a safe extra; see the documents you need. At the handover we walk round the car with you and film a video of the inside and outside, and we encourage you to film your own too.
Delivered to you
We deliver it to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) arrivals, your hotel or your home.

Porsche Cayenne hire: questions
Can I hire a Porsche Cayenne for a wedding in Nairobi?
Yes. Many clients book it with one of our chauffeurs for the day. Tell us the venue, the timings and a contact on the day when you book.
Can I drive the Porsche Cayenne upcountry?
Yes, on paved roads. Tell us your destination when you book and we will confirm the route. It stays in Kenya and on paved roads, and it can't be taken on safari game drives: the only car in our fleet allowed on game drives is our Land Cruiser Safari.
How old do I need to be to drive the Cayenne?
You need to be 25 or over, like every driver of our cars, with a valid driving licence.
Can I book the Porsche Cayenne from abroad?
Yes. Most of our clients book from the USA, UK, Europe and the UAE, and your car is confirmed before you fly. Pay a refundable reservation deposit within 2 hours of booking (we send a card payment link, or M-Pesa details by WhatsApp, phone or email), then the balance when you see the car, by M-Pesa, bank transfer, credit card or cash. Free cancellation until the car is handed over.
Can you deliver the Porsche Cayenne to JKIA?
Yes. Share your flight details and we track your flight. The evening before you land we send your driver's name and number, and the driver greets you in arrivals with a sign bearing your name and the car. We also deliver to hotels and homes in Westlands, Kilimani, Karen and across Nairobi. Delivery and collection cost KES 1,000 each way.
Deposit: when your money comes back
You see the exact security deposit for your car in your quote before you book, and again on your booking page. It is fully refundable and due with your remaining balance by handover. It is not an extra charge: it is returned when the car is returned. Your security deposit is refunded immediately after the return handover inspection. It comes back the same way you paid it: by M-Pesa to the number it came from, to the bank account you paid from, back to your card, or in cash. We check the car together and film it, just as we did at handover, and you get a written return receipt. If nothing is owed, you get it all back.
Only these can be taken off:
- fuel below the level you received, at the pump price
- traffic and speed camera fines, parking and tolls, at cost
- a late return, after the 1-hour grace period
- new damage shown on the handover and return videos, up to your Excess Fee for Damage
Anything taken off is on a written list, with the video or a receipt to show it, and there are no admin or processing fees.
Booking with a chauffeur? With one of our chauffeurs driving there is no security deposit and no Excess Fee for Damage. Read our fair damage promise, the rental terms in plain words, every car's price and deposit, and how JKIA airport handover works.
