About

Regular car taxis wait at ranks around town and at every hotel; reception will also call one for you. Meters are still rare, so agree the fare in Rwandan francs before you get in — a hop within the same neighbourhood is around RWF 3,000–5,000 and a cross-town ride RWF 6,000–10,000. Save a driver's number once you find one you like; most are happy to be booked directly for return trips or a day out. Dispatch numbers listed by Welcome Pickups for the local ranks: Kimironko Taxi Park +250 784 651 645, Kinyinya Taxi +250 790 200 199 (unverified — confirm the fare when you call).
