Car rental

Renting a car in Cape Verde is the perfect way to explore and discover the island where you are staying. You have the freedom to go wherever you want. Discover the most beautiful places yourself and determine your own pace. Driving can also be spectacular. For example, you have impressive roads along the coast at Santo Antao. Or you can actually ride offroad on some islands such as Sal, Boavista and Sao Vicente. For off-road driving a 4 × 4 car (four-wheel drive) is recommended to reach almost any location. The regular roads in Cape Verde are not busy and are in excellent condition.

Below we give the most important information about renting a car on the Cape Verde islands. For exampl, our preferrad rental car company in Cape Verde, the cost of renting a car and what exactly you need to rent a car.

On most of the islands you can rent a car. Booking a car is possible in advance but also last minute. However, due to car availability it is recommended to book a car before you arrive in Cape Verde.

Cost of renting a car in Cape Verde

The rent of a car starts from about 70 euros per day. This depends of course on the type of car, availability, the season and the island where you rent a car. In many cases a 4 × 4 car is strongly recommended. If you rent a car for a longer period, the rental price drops per day. It is usual that a deposit is paid when renting the car. A credit card is usually required to conclude the rental contract. For example, the credit card guarantees the deposit, the deductible cost and possible damage. In some cases the rental contract can also be paid with cash.

Is my driving license valid in Cape Verde?

Cape Verde do recognize most driver licenses from other countries. However, most car rentals accept also an international driving permit (IDP). Also, when you expect possible language problems, an international driving permit can be useful. Car rental companies in Cape Verde can also impose specific requirements. For example, a minimum or maximum age. Or a minimum number of years of driving experience. Always check the requirements of car rental companies beforehand.

What do I need to rent a car?

If you go to the car rental company in Cape Verde, please at least take the following:

  • A valid driving license. If you expect language problems, an international driving license is a solution;
  • A valid passport (copy);
  • Your booking form if you have made a reservation in advance (recommended);
  • Deposit – a credit card or cash depending on the conditions of the car rental company.
