Taxi

Cars that work as a taxi in Dakar are quite old, but they are often preferred for fast and cheap transportation.

So you do not have to worry about the amount you will pay. You can reach the airport from the city center in a half hour by taxi.

Car Rental

You can rent a car suitable for your budget by contacting the car rental offices located in the city center. You can find both extremely cheap as well as luxury car options. If you are renting the car only for the last day to get to the airport, it is a convenience to ask for a car with a driver. The hotel you are staying at can also help you about car rental.
