No. Platinum Car Rental PLC offers chauffeur-driven hire only, and every vehicle comes with a vetted 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 to the airport, the city and destinations across Ethiopia.
