 Senegal Car Rental Mini Guide

Car hire in Senegal is readily available from Dakar and Blaise Diagne International Airport where you'll find internationally recognised car hire companies Avis and Sixt present. Familiar rental desks and high standards are provided by both rental agents offering access to self-drive car hire in Senegal.

Do you need 4x4 rental in Senegal?

You don't need a 4x4 rental in Senegal, however it's a very good idea if you heading out of Dakar. Many of the rural roads in Senegal are unpaved and whilst a regular rental car might suffice, you'll feel safer in a 4x4 rental. The Mitsubishi Pajero is widely available and offers an excellent rental proposition.
