Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Dakar car reservation?
We get that flexibility on the road is important. That's why most prepaid bookings provide a total refund if cancelled at least six hours ahead of pickup. 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?
Small in size but big on benefits, economy cars are the first choice for many in Dakar. They're easy to handle and park, which is handy if you'll be doing lots of city driving. 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.
