Toyota Rav4

The Toyota RAV4 is an excellent choice for car rentals in Rwanda, especially for travelers looking to explore the country’s diverse landscapes, from the bustling streets of Kigali to the rugged terrain of national parks like Volcanoes and Akagera. This versatile mini-SUV is popular among travelers for long trips and safaris, offering a great combination of off-road capability and on-road comfort.

The RAV4, short for Recreational Active Vehicle with 4WD, is one of our top rental options. Designed to meet the needs of travelers in Rwanda, it features a fuel-efficient 2.0-liter engine with 120 horsepower, making it perfect for navigating both urban and rural roads, including steep and challenging terrains often encountered during safaris or remote area drives.

With a minimum ground clearance of 7.5 inches in the four-door model (and an extra 2 inches in the two-door version), the RAV4 is well-suited for Rwanda’s off-the-beaten-path adventures. The interior offers comfort and practicality, including full carpeting, door panel storage, cupholders, fabric seating, and intermittent wipers. While the cargo space is moderate, it is sufficient for most travel needs, and the vehicle provides ample legroom for all passengers.
