Comprehensive guide to Car Hire in Kenya

I thought I'd try for something quite useful. I don't know if I can make it work. I'd like to be able to give you a comprehensive list of car hire companies and there up to date prices. If this works, I'll move on to other fields. The idea is that you can look here to learn which car hire companies operate in Kenya, what they offer, and at what price. These are all for 1 day. They may get cheaper over longer periods.
Here is one company

Africa Point. http://www.africapoint.com/cars/kenya.htm

Toyota Corolla Standard Saloon Car US$ 54
Toyota Land Cruiser Standard 4WD Car US$ 155

Mitsubishi Lancer Standard Saloon Car US$ 54
Mitsubishi Pajero Standard 4WD Car US$ 147

This seems to be a good site.
They claim to be the best anyway (I know the ad speaks very well of it)
They don't give rates, you can email them on cars@carhirekenya.com. They have lots of saloon and 4X4s so plenty to choose from
