A Warm Welcome to the new-style Premier Car Hire. It's now more than 18 years since Irene Morrison, still our Managing Director today, set-up one of the United Kingdom's first independant car hire brokers. In a world increasingly dominated by vertically integrated travel corporations trying to palm you off with their "in-house" car company or make a quick buck for an "add-on" sale, it's nice to know you're dealing with real travel industry professionals. At Premier, we live and breathe car hire. We do one thing. We do it perfectly, every time.
Our new site marks our joint venture with CarJet.com, Spain's Nş#1 car hire company, to bring together the worldwide in-depth experience of Premier and the state-of-the-art booking technology that has become the trademark of CarJet.com in recent years. Our new look is more than just a cosmetic change : it allows us to assist customers in real-time worldwide with overheads that are the envy of the industry - which translates into rock-bottom prices. In a fast-changing and demanding world of low-cost aviation, we want to become your preferred car hire partner wherever your travels take you. We don't apply cancellation charges and instead of giving you grief when you need to change something, you'll find we're here ready to help when you suddenly need to reorganise your travel plans.

Off-road or negligent use.
Our car hire vehicles at Nairobi Airport are rented for use on the public highways of Kenya. They cannot be used off-road. Although a very rare ocurrance, we'd like you to be aware that damage to the underside of the car hire vehicle, frequently caused by negligent driving or off-road use at Nairobi Airport (we have had occasion to have to lift car hire vehicles out of dried-up river beds!) is your responsibility. Drunk driving a hire car is considered negligent use.

It is a sad reality that in most holiday resorts in Kenya, auto-theft is a day-to-day ocurrance. If you park up the car hire vehicle with personal items inside and, as a consequence, the glass or locks are damaged in an attempt to steal your personal effects, you will be responsible for the associated repair costs to the car hire vehicle. We strongly recommend that you park the vehicle in supervised car parks/garages in the major cities and never leave any personal item inside the car hire vehicle.

Buy-out of the Vehicle's Insurance Excess
The car hire vehicles at Nairobi Airport are sold with an insurance excess. This is explained in the section Whats's Not Included? above.Instead of leaving a credit card deposit to cover your car hire insurance excess at Nairobi Airport, you may opt to purchase additional insurance locally to "buy-out" the excess value - effectively removing your liability for vehicle bodywork damage. This option, depending on the car hire vehicle selected, costs between USD 7.00 and USD 13.00 per per day. You do not need to prebook insurance excess buy-out, simply decide and pay locally on arrival at the car hire station in Nairobi Airport when you arrive in Kenya.
Purchasing insurance excess buy-out is not a "licence to kill" and you will still be responsible for items like tyre, wheel, glasss or damage to the underside of the car hire vehicle. The car hire company may still require you to leave a credit card imprint to cover extensions to your car hire contract or traffic fines. See our section What's Not Included for further details.
