Car Hire in Mauritania

Many car hire deals in Mauritania require a credit card for the deposit. If you only have a debit card, use our website's filter to find options that accommodate it or consider getting a credit card. Make sure the main driver’s card is used to prevent any extra charges.

When renting a car, it's crucial to understand the different insurance options available. Selecting the right insurance can protect your finances in case of an accident. Common options include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and liability insurance, so make sure to confirm the required coverage with the provider.

If sharing driving responsibilities, check the policies regarding additional drivers. Some companies charge fees for each extra driver, while others may include it for free under certain conditions.

Before leaving the rental location, inspect the car for any existing damage and ensure it’s documented. Take photos if necessary to avoid disputes when returning the vehicle.

When renting a car, understand the fuel policy. A 'Full-to-Full' policy means you return the car with a full tank, while 'Same-to-Same' means you return it with the same level of fuel. Full-to-Full is often more cost-effective.

Make sure you know which type of fuel your rental car uses to avoid costly mistakes at the pump.

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

Confirm whether the rental includes roadside assistance for breakdowns or emergencies during your trip.
