For driving in Dakar, pick a sturdy and versatile SUV or crossover vehicle. Dakar's roads can be diverse, with some areas experiencing uneven surfaces and occasional potholes. An SUV or crossover provides better ground clearance and handling capabilities. Dakar is a bustling city with a vibrant street culture, so having a larger vehicle can provide added safety and visibility. Whether you're a family exploring the city or an adventurous traveller venturing into surrounding areas, an SUV or crossover is a reliable choice. Using car hire in Dakar offers a variety of options to suit different travel needs and preferences.
The speed limits in Dakar can vary depending on the type of road and surrounding conditions. In general, within city limits, the speed limit is typically 50 km/h (31 mph). However, be mindful of specific areas where lower speed limits may apply. For instance, near residential areas, schools, or densely populated neighbourhoods, the speed limit can drop to 30 km/h (19 mph) to ensure pedestrian safety. Additionally, look out for speed cameras, particularly along major routes such as the Route de Rufisque and the VDN Highway, where adherence to speed limits is enforced.
When parking in Dakar, plan for paid parking in certain parts of the city. Utilise secure car parks near popular attractions, markets, or commercial areas, such as Plateau and Medina. These parking facilities typically charge around 500 XOF per hour (around 0.65 GBP). Additionally, some hotels and shopping centres offer parking spaces, either free or for a nominal fee. Be cautious while parking on the streets, as unauthorised parking can lead to fines or towing.

Some Dakar car providers already include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Theft Protection Waiver into the hire price but not all of them. We recommend being aware of your coverage when hiring a car in Dakar.
Keep in mind that car hire insurances often have a deductible clause, which is the amount you’ll have to pay if something happens during the time of your hire. If you want to avoid unwanted surprises, you should consider adding a non-deductible option to your Dakar car hire.
