KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Accra
- The capital of Ghana, Accra stretches out comfortably along the coast of the Gulf of Guinea. Since it’s a rather sprawling city, car hire in Accra is an easy way to get around, whether you’re in town for business, pleasure or a mix of both. From the Densu Delta sand dunes and marshlands to Labadi Beach and the bustling downtown markets, you can fit far more into your Accra adventures when you have your own reliable set of wheels.
- If you’re flying into Accra’s Kotoka International Airport (ACC), you’ll find the car hire kiosks just after luggage claim, in the arrivals hall. To make your Accra car hire experience easier, it’s worth booking ahead of time through KAYAK. This ensures the vehicle you need will be reserved and waiting for you when you arrive at the airport. If you plan on hiring a car with a driver, which is common in Accra, booking online is also a good way to ensure they’re ready when you arrive.
- If you’re not familiar with Accra, it may be a good idea to opt for a vehicle with a driver to help you get around. This service is offered by most of the companies providing car hire in Accra, as traffic can get heavy and the roads can be difficult to navigate, particularly if you’ll be heading outside of the city limits to explore Kakum National Park or quieter coastal areas like Sir Charles Beach.
- Whether you hire a car with a chauffeur or opt to drive your own hire vehicle in Accra, it’s important to note that driving at night tends to be far more difficult. Street lighting isn’t consistent, even in the city, so if you can, it’s worth adjusting your itinerary to avoid night driving. If you decide to explore the coast of the Gulf of Guinea or head inland to visit Kumasi, allow more time than you think you’ll need, as poor road quality can make driving a challenge.

What type of car is recommended for driving in Accra?
When it comes to car hire in Accra, the best vehicle to reserve will depend entirely on the nature of your trip. If you plan to stick within the city limits, exploring Osu Castle Museum, Sandbox Beach and other downtown attractions, a compact car will make driving and parking easier. However, if you think you might like to venture out to explore spots like Cliff Haven Beach Resort or Keta Lagoon, it may be wise to book a 4X4. This will give you more space for luggage and will be more comfortable when you’re passing through rural areas outside of Accra.
What's the speed limit in Accra?
Within the Accra city limits, you’ll find speed limits of either 30 km/h or 50 km/h. It’s crucial to keep an eye out for speed signs and stick carefully to the posted limit. Speed cameras are in use in Accra, particularly on main thoroughfares like Achimota Road, and authorities may arrest motorists who drive in excess of the posted limit. If you’ll be heading out of town on any regional or inter-regional highways, the speed limit is generally 80 km/h. On national highways, it’s 90 km/h, while on motorways, the speed limit is generally 100 km/h.
Where are the best places to park in Accra?
Accra provides designated on-street parking spaces along with off-street parking facilities. Off-street facilities vary in size, quality and pricing, with some offering secure covered parking and others simply providing open space. To give you a general idea of pricing, the City Car Park, which can be found in the downtown area close to Ussher Fort Museum, offers secure covered parking starting from around GH₵ 4 (approximately A$ 0.60) per hour. Though you may see some people parking in non-designated areas, this is not advised, as the city of Accra can and will tow away vehicles that are illegally parked.

I reserved Mazda Bt-50 which is a pickup truck but was given a compact SUV instead. They canceled my reservation without consulting me.4.8 Mediocre
Dec 2019
Pros:
What I enjoyed about having a rental car in Ghana was the convenience of not having to get taxis to go everywhere with can add up. Also specialty rental car agencies are quite pricey. But with the money I paid for Hertz Ghana, I might as well have rented a limousine!Cons:
Firstly, the customer service was poor. With the exception of one agent who helped me during the pick up Henry Kofitse was cold, unfriendly and entirely money oriented. They also have a reservation deposit policy that forced me to buy local insurance and makes the insurance you get online directly from kayak or Hertz (because Hertz Ghana is a local franchise) obsolete. Essentially they told me I have to deposit close to $3000 USD if I didn't buy the local insurance which cost $600 or so on top of the rental car cost!!!! He also made me pay an additional $89 dollars for adding a day and charged two separate fees for drop off on Sunday because it was a "non-business day" but when we arrived the office had been open since morning and he was renting cars out to other clients (their business hours were not listed by the way). This is a money grubbing office and despite the fact that we needed the car, I would not rent here again. Unfortunately Hertz Ghana is one of only two reliable locations that rent cars in Ghana, so they are capitalizing on their monopoly and corporate affiliation with Hertz. I would rent the car again but if there were similar choices I would not think twice to pick another rental car company.4.0 Mediocre
