Preparing your journey...
Airport transfers, city rides, intercity routes, and day trips across Accra and beyond.
East Legon is one of Accra's busiest residential and business districts. Whether you're doing meetings, errands, or need reliable transport for the day, car rental with a driver in East Legon gets you moving without the traffic stress.
Cantonments is home to embassies, international organisations, and some of Accra's most prominent residential streets. If you're here for business or staying in the area, reliable transport matters.
Labone is centrally located between Osu, Cantonments, and the airport. A popular base for expats and business visitors - and one of the better starting points for getting around Accra efficiently.
Hire a driver for the day in Accra - one car, one driver, one flat rate from morning to evening. Use it for city errands, back-to-back meetings, or a day trip out of town.
Aburi is about 35 km from Accra and 45 minutes each way up into the Akuapem Hills. Cooler air, beautiful greenery, and one of the most relaxing day trips available from the city.
Shai Hills is about 50 km east of Accra, 45 minutes each way: baboons, antelope, ancient Shai caves, and wide open savannah. One of the most underrated day trips in Ghana.
Kokrobite is the closest proper beach to Accra, about 35 km and 45 minutes west on the coast road. Laid-back, Atlantic waves, and a break from the city.
Cape Coast is about 165 km from Accra, 2.5 to 3.5 hours each way by road, and one of the most important historical sites in West Africa. Do the trip in comfort: private driver, flat rate, door to door.
Elmina Castle, built by the Portuguese in 1482, is about 175 km from Accra, three to four hours each way by road. Visit independently with a private driver and a flat all-inclusive rate.
Ada Foah is where the Volta River meets the Atlantic, about 100km east of Accra and 1.5 to 2 hours each way by road. Book a private driver and skip the stress.
Kakum National Park is about 180 km from Accra, three to three and a half hours each way by road, and home to Ghana's famous canopy walk. Do it right: private driver, flat rate, door to door.

Labadi Beach - La Pleasure Beach - is Accra's most popular beach and just 20 minutes from central Accra. Skip the traffic stress and get there in style.
Getting around Accra without your own transport is stressful. Taxis negotiate on the spot. Uber cancels at the last minute. Hiring a car with a professional driver in Accra gives you a fixed price, a reliable vehicle, and someone who knows the city.
A private driver in Accra is the most reliable way to get around the city. One fixed rate, one professional driver, one vehicle that shows up on time. No surge pricing, no last-minute cancellations.
The moment you walk out of arrivals at Accra International Airport is one of the most chaotic moments of any Ghana trip. Touts, unofficial taxis, and confusion - unless your transport is already booked and your driver is already waiting.
When there are eight or ten of you arriving together, an SUV does not work. Our Mercedes-Benz Sprinter seats 10 passengers plus the driver, with genuine luggage space behind the last row, so a family, a church group or a company team travels together in one vehicle instead of splitting across three taxis.
Not every day needs ten hours of a car. A half day gives you five hours with a vehicle and a professional driver for $60, which covers a morning of errands, two or three meetings across town, or a market run and a lunch without paying for time you will not use.
For a visit of several days or a full week, the same car and the same driver every morning is worth more than the daily rate suggests. $120 a day covers the vehicle, the driver, the fuel and the WiFi, and the driver learns your routine instead of starting fresh each day.
When the car is part of the impression, the Deepal S7 Executive is the one to book. Panoramic glass roof, a notably quiet cabin, and a more presentable arrival than a standard SUV, with the same professional driver and the same all inclusive pricing.
Akosombo is about 100 km from Accra, roughly two hours each way, on the Volta where the dam holds back the largest man made lake in the world by surface area. It makes an easy day trip: leave in the morning, see the dam and the river, eat tilapia at Atimpoku on the way back, and be home in Accra by evening.
Boti Falls is a twin waterfall past Koforidua in the Eastern Region, about 130 km from Accra and roughly two and a half hours each way, reached by a long flight of steps down through forest. With Umbrella Rock and the three headed palm within walking distance, it makes a full and genuinely active day out of Accra.
Car rental in Accra costs between $50 and $250 a day depending on the vehicle and how long you need it. The number you are quoted online is frequently not the number you pay. This page lists the real rates, explains where the extra charges come from, and covers why almost every rental in Accra comes with a driver.
