Whether you need a personal driver for a wedding in Syokimau, a corporate pickup in Westlands, or a long-distance trip to Eldoret—finding a reliable, respectful, and verified driver in Kenya is essential.
Here are five things to check before you book a driver or chauffeur:
✅ 1. Are They Verified and Reviewed?
Your safety and schedule depend on who’s behind the wheel. You need someone with a clean record and real client feedback.
What to look for:
- ✅Verified badge on the Balozy App
- ✅Ratings and reviews from past clients
- ✅Clear service descriptions (daily hire, airport transfer, long-distance, event chauffeur)
- ✅Photos of vehicle (if provided)
💡 On Balozy, every driver is background-checked and reviewed—so you book with confidence.
🧭 2. Do They Know the Roads and Traffic Patterns?
Kenya’s traffic isn’t just unpredictable—it’s strategic. A good driver knows shortcuts, peak hours, and how to navigate Nairobi’s chaos or Eldoret’s quiet.
Ask before booking:
- ✅Are you familiar with my route or destination?
- ✅Do you use GPS or traffic apps?
- ✅Can you recommend safer or faster alternatives?
📍 3. Are They Local to Your Area?
Booking someone from your estate or cluster means faster pickup and better coordination.
Balozy Tip: Use the “Near Me” filter to find drivers in Nairobi, Machakos, Eldoret, Kisumu, or wherever you are.
💬 4. Do They Communicate Clearly and Professionally?
You want someone who confirms your booking, arrives on time, and respects your schedule—not someone who ghosts or improvises.
Look for:
- ✅Fast response time on the app
- ✅Transparent pricing and service scope
- ✅Respectful, courteous tone
🧼 5. Do They Offer Clean, Comfortable Rides?
Whether it’s a quick errand or a full-day hire, your ride should be clean, safe, and comfortable.
Ask:
- ✅Is your car regularly serviced and cleaned?
- ✅Do you offer bottled water, WiFi, or music preferences?
- ✅Can you accommodate luggage or special requests?
