What happens if I need to cancel my Dakar car reservation?

It's a good idea to check your cancellation policy though as there are some exceptions. If there's nothing specified there, head to our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in Dakar?

And with terrific gas mileage, these reliable wheels will have you touring around on the cheap. Want a larger car? Browse our standard, full-size or premium vehicles.
Where can I go on a road trip from Dakar?
Dakar has plenty to keep you busy, but don't limit yourself to only one place. Pick up a set of wheels and hit the road to see what else awaits in the wider region. These are some great options:

  • Make tracks to Touba for an excellent sightseeing adventure. Roughly 177 kilometres from Dakar, it's home to lots of cool sights like Grand Mosque of Touba.
  • Situated 121 kilometres away, Lompoul is also a favourite with travellers. Allow time to get to Lompoul Desert while you're here. It's one of the reasons people love this thriving city.
  • Djoudj National Bird Sanctuary is 225 kilometres from Dakar and is one of the region's most spectacular nature spots. Pack a picnic lunch and enjoy the fresh air.

What do you need to rent a car in Dakar?
Be prepared to present your driver's licence and a credit card at the rental counter. Before pickup, check with your selected rental company whether anything else is needed. For example, you may also need to show proof of insurance.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Dakar?
You can rent a car for a month or even longer in Dakar, so go on and extend your well-deserved holiday! Simply enter your trip details into our long-term car rental deals page and find your ideal ride.
Where can I find a Dakar car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look up the age policy of the Dakar rental providers you're considering. If you're under the age of 25, be aware that some will charge extra costs. It's handy to know about this before arriving at the desk so you can tailor your budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own terms and conditions for younger drivers, so do your research.
