Car Hire in Burkina Faso

Before returning the vehicle, clarify the return procedures with the rental company. Knowing where to drop off the car and any required inspections can streamline the process.

In Burkina Faso, car hire options are billed on a daily basis. Renting for over 24 hours will incur a charge for an additional day, so be sure to plan your hire duration to avoid extra costs.

Select a car that fits your needs in terms of size and type, especially if you're traveling with luggage or a group.

Most rental companies will require a credit card for the deposit, which is typically frozen in your account. Make sure to inquire about the specific deposit amount and the policy for releasing the freeze.

Ensure that you have a valid driving licence with at least one year of driving experience. If you are a foreign driver travelling to Burkina Faso, an international driving permit may be required. Remember, hire rates can be higher for drivers under 25 or over 70

Some rental companies offer a free tank of fuel with your rental. Be sure to understand the terms, including how much fuel you need to return the car with and any potential fees for not meeting these conditions.

Some rentals may have mileage caps. Check the details to avoid extra fees if you exceed limits.

Before traveling, familiarize yourself with local driving laws and regulations. This can help you avoid fines and ensure a safe driving experience.
