Top tips for renting a car in Cape Verde
- Renting a car in Cape Verde has various advantages over public transport, including the freedom to move around the island country on your terms and the flexibility to change your schedule last minute. You can access multiple locations in Cape Verde using a rental car that may not be accessible via public transport. You can quickly drive to Ponta Preta Beach on the southern coast, Cidade Velha on the island of Santiago, and the picturesque Paul on Santo Antão island, with a rental car. Renting a car from the various car rentals in Cape Verde will also grant you privacy and local experience since you can stop by local markets and discover some hidden gems in the country.
- If you are arriving in Cape Verde outside of regular rental agency hours of operation, consider renting from an agency providing after-hours pickup and drop-off arrangements, ensuring flexibility for your car rental needs. The rental agencies accommodate different schedules, whether you arrive late at night or need to return the car after business hours.
- If you are visiting Cape Verde with a child and will be renting a car, ensure you reserve a child seat, as it is recommended for drivers to secure children in age-appropriate child seats when driving for safety reasons. The rental agencies in the country offer to rent child seats if you do not have your own. The cost of installing the child seat or baby carrier depends on the rental agency.
