Counted from OpenStreetMap on 21 September 2026 inside a box 15 km either side of the city centre — not the administrative city, which on a large one reaches well past that. These are counts of what drivers have mapped, not a survey of the city: a station that sells diesel but carries no diesel tag is not in the diesel number. If something is missing, open the map and it can be fixed. Coverage snapshot is older than usual. The map may contain newer information.

Nairobi's forecourts, Rubis, TotalEnergies, Shell (Vivo), Ola and National Oil, spread along Mombasa Road, Thika Road and the Southern Bypass. EPRA sets monthly maximum prices, and most stations charge exactly the cap. EV charging is emerging via BasiGo buses and early public points.

Only 26 of the 366 stations mapped in Nairobi say whether they sell diesel. The rest probably do; nobody has recorded it. See Nairobi on the map →

Frequently asked questions

What should drivers know about fuelling in Nairobi?

Prices equal the monthly EPRA cap nearly everywhere; convenience wins. Thika Road and bypass stations are fastest; CBD pumps are cramped. Fill before Rift Valley road trips; escarpment stations are sparse.

Find fuel and charging near you, in seconds

Finding fuel needs no account. Confirming that a station has fuel, or that a charger works, is one tap and stays anonymous. Posting a price, a comment or opening hours needs a free Google sign-in — that is what puts a real, named person behind the figure.
