buying vs renting a car

When you think of buying a car, you probably think of hefty down payments and high monthly payments. Instead of spending thousands of shillings on the monthly cost of owning a car, you might be better off renting one instead.

Car ownership can be expensive, and renting a car can be a cost-effective way to get around. However, not everyone has access to a car. If you live in an urban center or in a densely populated area like Nairobi, Mombasa, or Kisumu, you might not have a car available for you to rent.

However, that doesn’t mean you can’t drive at all. If you don’t have access to a car, but you still need to get around, you can rent a car instead. The following article highlights the advantages of renting a car instead of buying one, and why we are the best car rental company for you.

What Is the Difference Between Renting a Car and Buying One?

The main difference between renting a car and buying one is the cost of ownership. If you buy a car, you will have to pay the cost of financing, insurance, and maintenance. However, you won’t have to pay the price of gas, parking, and other operating expenses. Therefore, the total cost of ownership is much higher if you buy a car.

When you rent a car with us, the cost of ownership is much lower. You will only have to pay the rental fee. We will also charge you a fee for each day you rent the car.

If you want to save money on car ownership, renting a car with Metro Car Hire Services is a good option for you.

Types of Vehicles You Can Rent

Renting a car offers several benefits, such as if you want to take a road trip or go on a long family trip you won’t have to deal with the hassles of car ownership. You can rent a car for a week, chauffeur-driven or even long-term.

If you need a car rental service for your business, we offer corporate leasing for businesses and enjoy flexible payment terms.

Renting a car is a good option if you want the flexibility of car ownership, and don’t want to deal with the hassles of car ownership.
