Chauffeur car hire in Addis Ababa, answered.
No. Platinum Car Rental PLC offers chauffeur-driven hire only, and every vehicle comes with a professional driver. This removes the need for an International Driving Permit and the stress of navigating Ethiopian roads yourself.
Our base is on the 5th floor of the Welelay Building, near Adey Abeba International Stadium in Bole, Addis Ababa. Vehicles are dispatched from there for airport, city and accepted out-of-town trips.
We aim to reply within two business hours during office hours (Addis Ababa time); quotes for multi-day, regional or account requests follow after review. For an urgent same-day booking, call or WhatsApp +251 978 848 550 as well.
Yes, including night arrivals arranged in advance, from both the international and domestic terminals. The meeting arrangement is confirmed with your booking, the driver tracks your flight, and the quote states how much waiting is included.
Yes, itinerary by itinerary. We check the route, dates and current conditions, including official travel advice, before accepting a trip, and may decline or reroute it. Vehicles are sent from Addis Ababa, and overnight stops are planned into the quote.
The services are designed for airport passengers, business travellers, organisations that book regularly, hotels, diaspora visitors and private travellers. Organisations can open an account with monthly invoicing. Client references are shared on request with permission.
