Good to know
Age requirements for rentals vary by company (and even car type), so be clear on the rules before you book. Some suppliers in Ivory Coast may rent to younger drivers for an extra fee. If you fall outside the typical age bracket, just uncheck 'Driver aged between 25–70' and then enter how old you are to unlock the right options.
Add a car seat to your Abidjan car rental booking if you're planning to travel with the kids. Rules can change from one location to another, but using a child seat suited to their size, weight and age is always the safest option.
You'll likely be asked for these three things when picking up your rental car: a current driver's license, extra photo ID, and a credit card with enough funds to pay the security deposit. Debit cards usually aren't accepted. Any additional requirements will be listed in your booking.
Take a few moments to get used to your rental. Adjust your seat and mirrors, test the brakes and turn signals, and get a feel for its handling before you set off. And don't forget to stick to the right side of the road in Ivory Coast.
Local speed limits can vary, but it's typically around 35mph in built-up areas and 70mph or so on highways. Always check the posted signs.
The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in Ivory Coast is 0.08%. Because alcohol doesn't affect all people equally, the only way to be certain you're safe to drive is to skip the drinks.
One of the busiest times for traffic in this destination is around 8am. Make life easier by steering clear of rush hours in general.
