Car hire pickup and drop-off outside standard business hours is arranged on request, not a fixed round-the-clock service. Confirm late or early pickup with Barguts Tours when you book, especially for a late-night flight arrival.

Can You Collect a Hire Car Late at Night in Nairobi?

Confirm this at booking. Many late arrivals are flight-related, and Barguts Tours can arrange an airport pickup to match your flight time when you book ahead. Share your flight number and arrival time so the pickup can be planned.

Driving at night in Nairobi carries more risk than daytime driving, particularly outside the main tourist belt. If your flight lands late, a driver-led airport transfer removes the need for you to drive to your accommodation yourself. For more on night safety, see is Nairobi safe for tourists.

Can You Return a Hire Car Outside Normal Hours?

Confirm your return time at booking, particularly if your flight departs early or your trip ends outside standard hours. Arranging it in advance avoids any confusion about where and when to hand back the vehicle.

What Should You Confirm Before Booking an Out-of-Hours Pickup or Drop-off?

Confirm three things with Barguts Tours before you rely on an out-of-hours pickup or drop-off.
