Are there any special requirements for driving or hiring a car in Congo?

In Congo public transportation is only available in the two main cities so it advised if visiting the country to hire a car. In Congo you drive on the right and it is best to hire an SUV due to the country's driving conditions and roads. When driving in cities it is best to keep the windows up and doors locked. At checkpoints or roadblocks, you must show the documents required through closed windows. If you are driving past buildings during raising/lowering of the country's flag you should stop the vehicle as it is considered a sign of respect to the country.
