Vehicle transport in Kenya is the main mode of transport. It usually involves using a vehicle on the major tarmac highways or the village graveled roads. A visitor can choose between using public transport vehicles, tour company vans or higher a car of choice and self drive.
There exist a number of car hire companies that hire out vehicles to individuals or groups. The rate is determined by distance to be covered, region being visited, and period of hire and size of car. Most cars are hired per day and discounts maybe offered negotiated if the vehicle is being hired for a longer period.
Vehicle transport in Kenya is not as expensive as it used to be years earlier, this is because more people have invested in the tourism industry and therefore transport is well considered. The competition between the operators always seems to push the prices down making it an affordable option.
For large groups of visitors, the cost can be dropped significantly by using a large capacity vehicle thereby reducing the cost of acquiring the car.
Most cars available for vehicle transport in Kenya include 2WD vehicles, 4WD vehicles, vans, jeeps and Land cruisers and specialized tour trucks and busses. Most 2WD cars can satisfactorily handle trips to all major tourism circuits in Kenya with ease during the dry season but can lead to miserable experiences when it rains and some roads get impassable for the small vehicles.

<LI>Before driving, ensure you get advice from a mechanic familiar with your make of vehicle as to which parts are vulnerable. This includes also checking gear oil, distilled water, coil, clutch cable, accelerator cable, brake master cylinder overhaul kit, water pump overhaul kit (or water pump), petrol pump, one front and one rear main leaf spring, shock absorbers, HT leads, oil pump, wheel studs, half shafts and bearings.
<LI>During wet weather itâs always advisable to use 4WD vehicles and keep speeds low when traveling on the dirt roads. This gives you control over the vehicle if it skids and lets you have an enjoyable vehicle transport around the Kenyan attractions and parks.
Carry high lift jacks when visiting muddy sections to avoid getting stuck.
<LI>Punctures occur anytime, always have enough spare wheels and repair kit when moving away from town where services are always easily available. You canât afford spending the night in the bush just because you canât change the wheel or donât have a spare one.
<LI>Petrol is always rare when out of town. Ensure you have enough stock to take You through the journey and back.
<LI>Stop and admire the beautiful Kenyan countryside anytime you spot an amazing feature as you vehicle transport around Kenya
