Kenya’s car hire marketplace
Khala Drive connects travellers and locals with car hire providers across Kenya — from Nairobi to Nanyuki, Mombasa to Marsabit. No middlemen. No booking fees. Direct contact.
Making car hire simple, transparent and local
Finding a reliable car hire in Kenya — especially outside Nairobi — has always been fragmented. Providers rely on word of mouth, WhatsApp groups and Facebook pages. Travellers have no easy way to compare. Khala Drive fixes that by creating a single, trusted directory where providers get visibility and customers get choice.
How we’re different
Not another booking platform. Something better.
Zero commission
We don’t take a cut of your bookings. Providers pay a flat monthly fee and keep 100% of what they earn. Every shilling from the customer goes directly to you.
Direct contact
Customers contact providers directly by WhatsApp or phone. No booking forms, no approval delays, no platform in the middle. Deals happen the Kenyan way — person to person.
Verified badge
Providers can be verified by our team. We confirm they’re real, operating and responsive before giving them a Verified badge, so customers know who to trust.
Kenya-first
Built for the Kenyan market: M-Pesa payments, WhatsApp-first communication, coverage across major towns and tourist routes, and pricing in Kenyan shillings.
Simple dashboard
Providers get a clean dashboard to manage listings, track views, see inquiries and renew their subscription — no technical skills needed.
Affordable plans
Plans start at KSh 5/month for 1 listing — upgrade anytime from KSh 500/month for more listings.
Why Khala Drive exists
It started with a simple frustration. Finding a reliable car hire in Kenya — especially for a last-minute safari or a work trip upcountry — meant calling five different people, asking in WhatsApp groups, and hoping for the best.
Good providers existed. Experienced operators with well-maintained fleets, fair prices and years of local knowledge. But they were invisible online. Their only marketing was word of mouth and the occasional Facebook post.
Khala Drive was built to fix that — a clean, searchable directory where providers get a professional online presence and customers can find exactly what they need, wherever they’re going in Kenya.
Khala Drive operates 100% online — no physical office, no middlemen. We’re building Kenya’s most trusted car hire directory, one provider at a time, across every county.
What we stand for
Four principles we don’t compromise on.
Honesty
No fake reviews. No inflated stats. No hidden fees. What you see on Khala Drive is real — real providers, real vehicles, real prices.
Simplicity
Finding a car should take minutes, not hours. Listing your vehicles should take minutes too. We keep things simple on purpose.
Supporting local
We exist to help Kenyan entrepreneurs grow their businesses. Every feature we build, we ask: does this help our providers earn more?
Reliability
Providers who don’t respond get removed. Vehicles that don’t exist don’t get listed. We protect our customers’ trust by holding providers to a standard.
