Security escort prices in Kenya depend on how long you need cover, how many people are on the team, whether vehicles are included, the route, the risk level and how much notice you give. There is no honest flat rate, so ask for a written quote that lists exactly what is included, then compare like with like.
Key takeaways
- Price follows scope: hours, people, vehicles, risk.
- Short notice usually costs more.
- Ask what is and is not included.
- The cheapest quote often leaves things out.

03Frequently asked questions
Do you charge per hour or per day?
It depends on the job. Short trips and full-day or multi-day cover are quoted differently. The proposal states the basis.
Is fuel included?
Check the quote. It should say whether fuel, parking and overnight costs are included or billed separately.
