Rental Cars in Ghana – Everything You Need to Know
                     Rental Cars in Ghana – 
Everything you need to 
know
  
Are there any self-drive car 
rentals in Ghana?
In short, no. 
While you might 
be able to find 
someone who 
will let you drive 
their car without 
a driver, nearly 
every rental car 
in Ghana will 
come with a 
driver included. 
This is one of the 
reasons why you 
 won’t pay any  
additional cost 
for insurance. 
Why can’t I drive my own 
rental cars in Ghana?
Road accidents in 
Ghana are more 
frequent than in the 
United States and 
Europe, and the 
reliability of car 
insurance is limited. 
Luckily, the low cost 
of labor allows for 
rental car companies 
to employ 
trustworthy drivers 
to take care of their 
  rental cars in Ghana.
Do I need insurance for my 
rental car?
It is not required 
that you 
purchase any 
collision 
insurance when 
you rent a car in 
Ghana. Because 
your car will 
come with the 
driver included, 
the car rental 
company will be 
held responsible 
 for any accidents  
or damages to 
the vehicle.
Should I rent a 4×4 in 
Ghana, or should I rent a 
small car? 
Before choosing a 
rental car in 
Ghana, be sure to 
ask the rental 
company about 
road conditions in 
the area where 
you will be 
traveling. Many 
roads in Ghana 
are suitable for 
smaller vehicles, 
but often you 
  might be more 
comfortable if you 
rent a 4×4. 
Do I need to tip my rental 
car driver?
Rental car drivers 
in Ghana are 
usually 
compensated fairly 
and receive 
allowances for 
their daily 
expenses while 
working. Tips are 
always 
appreciated, 
however. Dollars 
and Euros go a 
 long way in Ghana , 
and even a small 
tip will go a very 
long way for a 
driver and his 
family.
