Transport in Kenya is changing fast.

Let’s dive in.
Why Monthly Car Rental Is Cheaper Than Daily or Short-Term Hire
Most people assume buying a car or renting daily is cheaper — until they do the math.
Here’s why monthly rental is the ultimate savings hack:
1️⃣ Lower Daily Rate (Up to 40% Cheaper)
Daily rental might cost KES 4,500/day, but monthly rental drops it down to as low as:
- KES 2,500 per day equivalent
- or KES 75,000 per month (depending on model)
The longer the hire → the bigger the discount.

2️⃣ Zero Maintenance Costs
When you own a car, you deal with:
- service costs
- tires
- shocks
- engine issues
- brake pads
- breakdowns
- garage costs
With Go-Wheels long-term rentals:
✔ All maintenance is covered
✔ You never pay a shilling for repairs
✔ Replacement cars provided if needed
This alone saves people thousands every month.
3️⃣ No Insurance Costs
Comprehensive insurance in Kenya can be expensive.
With monthly rental:
✔ You do NOT pay for insurance
✔ You only fuel and drive
✔ All paperwork is handled for you
4️⃣ No Depreciation Worries
Cars lose value fast.
Why buy a car worth KES 2M and watch it depreciate, when you can rent comfortably for a fraction of the cost?
5️⃣ Predictable Monthly Spending
Budgeting becomes easier.
You know exactly how much you’ll spend each month without surprises.
6️⃣ Ideal for Diaspora Returning for Long Stays
If you’re home for:
- 3 weeks
- 1 month
- 6 weeks
- 2 months
Buying a car or hiring daily doesn’t make financial sense.
Monthly rental gives you:
- flexibility
- huge savings
- clean reliable cars
- zero stress
