KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Abidjan
- Car rental in Abidjan offers more flexibility with your journey compared to alternative modes of transport. You’ll be able to travel directly to your destination, without transferring, whilst also being able to depart at a time that is convenient for you. For instance, you can drive to Anyama in approximately 1h 10min. There are no public transport alternatives for this route, so you would have to wait for a taxi instead.
- Abidjan Airport (ABJ) is one of the airports that’s closest to Abidjan, which makes it a great location to collect your hire car from. Once you’ve arrived at the airport terminal, you’ll find it easy to locate the car hire agencies. For instance, you can find Europcar and Green Motion conveniently placed in the Arrivals Hall. Your Abidjan car hire company will request ID and payment, as well as for you to complete certain forms, before they will give you the keys to your vehicle.
- Car rental in Abidjan is an ideal way to explore this city. Driving is quite hectic in Abidjan, so you must drive with confidence and stick to the rules of the road at all times. There will also be lots of people crossing the roads at points which aren't designated for pedestrians, so stay vigilant. The roads are not of a high quality, and you'll find potholes on some of the less established streets. Therefore, it’s important that you drive carefully throughout.
- When driving an Abidjan hire car, you will see that traffic gets relatively congested, which is especially the case during the weekday rush hour. This is normally from about 7:30 to 9:00 and around 17:00 to 19:30. It’s a good idea to avoid the roads at these times, as the roads will be quieter in the late morning and early afternoon. One road that is very busy is the A100, which is the main road going through the city. An alternative would be to take Boulevard de Petit Bassam, which should be less busy.
- Book your car hire in Abidjan at least 2 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price
