African Car RentalA Service Beyond ExpectationsAddis Ababa
Confirmed, published rates for the summit period — no quote required to know what you'll pay.
A chauffeured executive line for occasions that call for presence, and a quiet electric SUV line built for the daily rhythm of meetings, delegations and airport runs.
The default choice for delegation convoys and highland routes — commanding, unshakeable, and instantly recognized at every checkpoint.
Reserved for state visits, board meetings and evenings that deserve a quieter cabin — chauffeured, air-conditioned, and immaculately kept.
A plusher alternative to the Land Cruiser — three rows of leather, a hushed cabin, and enough presence for any arrival.
An electric alternative to the diesel convoy — silent, quick, and just as at ease outside a hotel lobby as a summit venue.
Built for delegations that travel as a group — three rows of space wrapped in a genuinely calm ride.

A compact electric SUV for single-officer transport and city errands — efficient, easy to park, and quick to charge overnight.
The single-motor sibling to our ID.6 — a nimble electric SUV for solo travel and shorter trips across the city.
Missions, embassies and international organisations based in Addis Ababa get preferential rates, invoiced billing and chauffeurs briefed on summit-week protocol.
Tell us your dates, your route and your headcount — we'll have a car and a chauffeur waiting at Bole or your office door.
African Car Rental started with a simple observation: business travelers, diplomats and NGO teams arriving at Bole International Airport needed more than a generic rental counter — they needed a car and a driver who already understood Addis Ababa's roads, its checkpoints, and its calendar of summits and state visits.
Today that means a full fleet, not just a car list: an executive line of Land Cruisers, Mercedes-Benz sedans and electric SUVs for occasions that call for presence, everyday SUVs for the quieter work of getting a team from one meeting to the next, and vans, Coaster buses and full-size touring coaches for the groups, delegations and conferences that outgrow a single car.
Every year, AU Summit week brings the same problem across the city: rental prices spike hard as operators chase short-term demand. We take the opposite approach — our summit-week rates run roughly 40% below the market spike, published upfront rather than negotiated case by case. It's a discount that compounds fast: a team booking three or more cars for the week saves real money over what they'd pay anyone chasing summit-week prices.
Every car is late-model and dealer-serviced — no vehicle stays in the fleet past its recommended service window.
Chauffeurs are background-checked and briefed before their first booking, not after their first complaint.
Dispatch runs around the clock — flights land at odd hours in Addis Ababa, and so do we.
Our rates run about 40% below the market during AU Summit week — a real discount when demand — and everyone else's prices — peak.
