Why missions choose us

Built for how embassies actually book cars.

01

Preferential mission rates

Discounted day, weekly and monthly rates for accredited AU delegations, embassies, consulates and UN-affiliated agencies.

02

Vetted, briefed chauffeurs

Background-checked drivers fluent in English, French and Amharic, briefed on protocol, motorcade spacing and summit-week road closures.

03

Invoiced, PO-friendly billing

Monthly invoicing, purchase-order billing and multi-currency payment for missions that can't run cars through a personal card.

04

Airport meet & greet

A chauffeur at the Bole arrivals gate with a name board, luggage handling, and a car already running with the AC set right.

05

Summit & convoy experience

Drivers who have worked AU Summit season and know how to hold formation, reroute around closures, and stay on schedule.

06

Long-term mission leases

Monthly and annual leasing for missions that want a dedicated, consistently maintained vehicle rather than a rotating rental.

"During Summit week we needed six vehicles on eight hours' notice, each one on time and each driver briefed on the closures. African Car Rental has never made that feel difficult."
