Car Hire Sierra Leone FAQ

What every first-time visitor asks before booking.

Can tourists rent self-drive cars in Sierra Leone?

Self-drive rental barely exists here — international agencies have almost no presence, and checkpoints, unmarked roads and fuel logistics make a local driver essential. The standard product is car + driver, which is what we arrange.

How much does car hire cost?

With driver included: airport pickup or drop NLe 150 (~$6) per car, wharf/jetty NLe 300, Targrin ferry terminal NLe 400, hourly hire around Lungi $10 first hour then $5/hour, Lungi–Freetown day hire from $100/day + fuel & ferry, upcountry from $150/day + fuel (driver allowance NLe 500/day), off-road from $250/day + fuel (allowance NLe 700/day). Quotes are fixed before pickup.

How do I get from Lungi Airport into Freetown?

The airport is across the estuary from the city. Fastest: short drive to the sea coach, water crossing, car on the other side. We coordinate all three legs against your flight — see also our Lungi Airport guide.

Is it safe?

With a vetted driver, yes. We only dispatch drivers we already use daily for our own guests near Lungi Airport. You get your driver's name and number before pickup, and a coordinator tracks the trip.

Do I pay in advance?

No prepayment for most bookings — pay the driver on the day in USD, Leones or Orange Money. Card payment available for advance and corporate bookings.

Where do I stay near the airport?

If you land late or fly early, staying on the Lungi side beats a night crossing. See our hotels near Lungi Airport — including budget rooms directly opposite the terminal.
