Mombasa Guide

The Kenyan port city of Mombasa is actually an island and has a charming and friendly atmosphere. It features many sites of historical and cultural importance, making it an appealing holiday destination.

The highlight of Mombasa’s historical attractions is the imposing Fort Jesus. Known for its bloody past, the fort is now a shady retreat and houses the impressive Fort Jesus Museum. The defensive nature of the construction of the fort is evident in its huge angular walls, which encircle a vast area, resembling more a fortified town than an actual fort. From the restored Omani House, there is a fantastic view over Mombasa. There are ruins of a church, some storerooms, and at the seaward end of the fort lies the Hall of the Mazrui with its beautiful stone benches and eighteenth-century inscription. The museum features extensive exhibits on Swahili and Mijikenda civilizations, as well as a collection of over 7000 objects from the wreck of the Santo Antonio de Tanna, which sank in 1697 while trying to break the prolonged siege of the fort.

Nearby is the Old Town area, and its warrens of lanes are lined with charming shop fronts, old houses and mosques, displaying an interesting mixture of mixture of Italian, Portuguese and Arabic design. You can also follow the gently sloping streets down to the dhow harbour. Other sights in the town include the ornate Jain temple and the magnificent Swahili Cultural Centre.

Most of Mombasa’s first-class accommodation, excellent restaurants and nightlife are centered around the train station area. For relaxation during the day, head for one of the many beautiful beaches just north and south of the town.

For a rewarding outing, take the circuit around the windy, ocean side of the island down Mama Ngina Drive, where there are plenty of spots to gaze out at the spectacular coastal scenery. On top of the cliffs are the 19th century remains of Fort St Joseph, which afford more stunning views.

Nairobi's Jomo Kenyatta International Airport has direct flights from many European and several US cities, and it is possible to get direct international flights to Mombasa itself. Shuttle services from the airport to the town are frequent and reliable.

What most people want to know

The following questions and answers are a selection of the most popular questions. If you do not find the answer to your question, have a look at the Frequently Asked Questions page or contact us.

Is Carrentals.co.uk the cheapest?

Yes, we offer a guarantee of the lowest price - because we compare various retailers, we can always offer you the best price in town.

What do I need to do when picking up a car?

To pick up your car, you will need your voucher, passport, driver's license and a credit card. It is very important that your driver's license and credit card are in the same name as the main driver. Keep in mind that the local rental company will reserve a certain amount on your credit card as a deposit. This requires the PIN code for your credit card. If your driver's license is foreign (for example, in Chinese), you must bring a translation with you. Only your original passport and driver's license will be accepted - a copy is not sufficient.

Are there any additional costs?

In general, our rates are all-inclusive. Should there be any additional costs, our booking department will get in touch with you before issuing the invoice. Should you object, you can always cancel your reservation with no obligations attached (at least 48 hours in advance).

What kind of insurance is applicable to my car rental?

In general, Liability Insurance, Fire Insurance, All-Risks Insurance and Theft Insurance are included in the cost of your rental car.

What is a worry-free label?

Only rental companies with a high level of customer satisfaction are eligible to be included in our Worry-Free selection. This rate includes excess cover and unlimited kilometres. Your vehicle will be provided and must be returned with a full tank of fuel. With a vehicle from our Worry-Free selection, you can travel with peace of mind and no hidden costs.

How can I change or cancel my reservation?

You can cancel your reservation through "My Account". We recommend contacting us by phone if your changes to your booking or cancellation takes place at short notice (48 hours or less).
