Cheap Car Rental in Dakar

If your trip to Dakar is all organized but your itinerary is a little on the empty side, we can give you a few hints and tips.Close to the city center, African Renaissance Statue is one sight you might like to put on your to-do list. If you still have some room on that schedule, Stade Leopold Senghor and Le Monument de la Renaissance Africaine will keep you on the go too.

If you want to discover what else there is to see and do in the region, Niaga is a wonderful place to check out. You’ll locate it 17 miles from Dakar.

Point your car in the direction of Ile de Goree Beach. It’s 6 miles from Dakar and is a pleasant place to lie back and unwind. Enjoy a leisurely stroll by the water and watch the waves rippling along the shoreline.

Having your own set of wheels in Dakar will give you more flexibility to squeeze in as many attractions as you can. Maybe you’d like to head out of the city, hit the open road, and see where the wind takes you. If that’s the case, drive off in one of our mid-size or full-size SUVs and have a look at the sandy shores in the area. If you just want to soak up the bright lights of the city, take to the wheel of something small. Navigating bustling streets and heavy traffic will be a lot less stressful with a compact or mini car.

You’ll be happy to hear that there’s a wide variety of luxurious rentals in Dakar. What you go for depends on what you’re willing to spend and what you plan to do. Prestige vehicles offer unparalleled comfort and class. If you’re splurging, why not pick a fully kitted-out SUV, or perhaps an upmarket mid-sized sedan? Alternatively, if you’re just after something to get you from A to B as cheaply as possible, stick with a no-frills compact vehicle (or something else that won’t blow your budget).

Parking in downtown Dakar isn’t normally too much of a problem. However, if you need to be somewhere by a specific time, it’s a good idea to look up your parking options beforehand. Want another tip? Read the signage — you don’t want to wind up with a fine on your vacation.

Dakar has a population of roughly 2,476,400, so expect some traffic congestion. The roads are at their busiest in the morning and afternoon peak hours, especially around the city center.

Generally, one of two things will happen. Your chosen car rental company may bill the amount of the fine to your credit card. This is the usual practice. On the other hand, it may supply your contact details to the relevant local authority so the fine is sent to you directly.
