Top tips for hiring a car in Togo
- When visiting Togo, consider renting a car for transport to different parts of the country, as this will offer independence to create your itinerary and visit desired destinations on your terms. Togo's public transport is not extensive and reliable; therefore, using a rental car will guarantee a reliable travel option. You can easily access popular attractions with a rental car, including Kpalimé, Togoville, Atakpamé in central Togo, and Kara in northern Togo.
- Togo roads are a mix of paved and unpaved, especially in rural areas. Renting a front-wheel-drive car will be ideal for maneuvering various roads in the country. Togo experiences rainy seasons between April and October; therefore, when visiting the country during rainy seasons, consider renting a four-wheel-drive vehicle as the roads get muddy and slippery — hardly navigable by other vehicles.
- If traveling with young children to Togo, consider having child seats for safety. Child seat availability is limited in most of the car rentals in Togo. Therefore, it’s a good idea to carry your child's seat to avoid inconvenience. Kids who are two years and younger must be in rear-facing child seats, while those between ages two and five must be in forward-facing child seats. If your child has outgrown the forward-facing child seat or is roughly between ages four and 12 years, consider using a booster seat.
- The rental agencies in Togo charge additional fees for crossing the border into other countries with the rental car. You can travel to neighboring nations such as Benin, Ghana, and Burkina Faso from Togo with a rental car. Be sure to inform the rental agency of cross-border travel, as some may have restrictions on border crossing. Check that the insurance coverage for the vehicle you've rented covers border crossing. Carry your passport, driver's license, rental agreement, travel authorization, and vehicle documents to present at customs and immigration checkpoints from Togo and the country to which you're headed.
- Book your car hire in Togo at least 3 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Economy hire cars in Togo are around 35% cheaper than other car types, on average
