Answer: If you have a valid Kenyan license or a license from a Commonwealth country (e.g., UK, Canada, Australia), you can drive in Kenya. For others, an IDP is recommended. Learm more about obtaining a U.S. IDP here.

Answer: Yes! All of our vehicles are specifically maintained for long-distance and off-road travel. We just ask that you inform us of your destination for safety tracking. 

While our 4x4s are rugged, your safety is our priority. Our vehicles are permitted for use on most gazetted roads in Kenya. However, we do not allow travel into high-risk border regions, extreme off-road tracks that may damage the vehicle's underside, or overly dense high traffic areas with significant accident risks. 

If you are planning a trip to a remote area (like Turkana or Lamu by road) or a high volume urban area (like Eastleigh), please consult with us during booking. 

Answer: We operate on a "Like-for-Like" basis. The car will be handed over with a certain level of high-quality fuel from a reputable station (like Shell or Total). We simply ask that you return it at the same level so the next traveler can begin their journey immediately. This is the fairest and most transparent method for everyone. 

Answer:  We offer unlimited mileage for all long-term rentals. 

Don't panic. Traffic checks are common in Kenya. We ensure that every Urban Escape vehicle has a valid NTSA inspection sticker, and up-to-date insurance. Always remain polite, show your valid driving license, and if you have any issues, call our 24/7 support line immediately.
