Web Design for Car Hire & Rentals in Kenya

Mobile-first websites for car hire and rental companies, built around how your customers search, compare and get in touch.

From KES 20,000 + VAT · prices exclude 16% VAT

Edgecom designs and builds websites for car hire and rental companies across Kenya. We are based in Nairobi and work remotely with clients in every county. Customers book the rental they can reserve online. A clear, fast website helps you take online bookings and payments.

The case for it

Why car hire and rental companies need a website that works

Four things a good site does for car hire and rental companies that a Facebook page and a phone number cannot.

People check you online before they call

Most enquiries now start with a search. If your car hire company cannot be found, or the site that turns up looks abandoned, the customer simply calls whoever is listed above you.

It answers the questions you repeat all day

Prices, opening hours, where you are, what you actually do. A page that answers these properly removes most of the back-and-forth before anyone gets in touch.

It captures enquiries while you are working

A form, a WhatsApp button and a click-to-call number keep working at 9pm and on Sunday. Nothing is lost because nobody was free to pick up.

It makes a small business look established

A clear, fast, well-written site signals that you are a real operation. For car hire and rental companies competing against bigger names, that impression does a lot of work.

Best practice

What a good car hire company website does

The things that separate a site that brings in work from one that just exists. This is how we build for car hire and rental companies.

  1. Put the stock online and keep it current

    Buyers browse before they visit the yard. Every unit with real photographs, mileage, year and price — and removed the day it sells.

  2. Photograph each vehicle the same way

    Exterior angles, interior, dashboard with the odometer visible, and honest shots of any damage. Consistency reads as a professional operation.

  3. Make the location and hours unmissable

    For car hire and rental companies most searches carry local intent. A map, directions and a click-to-call number are what turn a search into a visit.

  4. Answer the finance and import questions

    Duty, logbook transfer, financing, warranty. These decide the purchase and are exactly what buyers are searching while comparing you with the next yard.

  5. Collect reviews and reply to them

    Google reviews carry heavy weight in local ranking and in the decision. Ask satisfied customers, and answer the critical ones properly.
