The choice of the car is so important. Various companies have different types of cars to offer to their customers and most companies will stick to using SUVs and sedan cars as the best traveling option but do not get carried it is just a selling language. Always choose a car that fits your bill for example
select a compact car if it can do the same job as any other expensive car.

Check the insurance coverage for the car hire. This is done to protect you from incurring more costs in case of an accident and damages. When the car is not insured against a third party, it is prone to getting traffic penalties if caught by the traffic police. It is illegal to drive a car in Rwanda without third party insurance.

Check the fuel usage as some companies give vehicles to their customers when they are fully fuelled or partially. So before you drive the car check the fuel gauge to know the amount of fuel in the car and you should return the vehicle with the exact amount as you took it.

Always read the customer reviews that are found on the company’s websites. The reviews will give an insight into what kind of services the car hire agency offers to their customers. With positive reviews, you know that the company has a good reputation and a good reputation comes with better services.

Check the liability clause in the agreement. Try to find what damages are you supposed to pay for case of any damages and also make sure that the liability clause is favorable to you as you do not have to pay a lot of money for the damages and the car must be insured for some huge damages like car crush and car theft.
