Cape Verde Santiago Car Hire

Praia Car Hire or Car Rental by the week

Santiago Car Hire

Avis in Santiago even sends you out with cars that it knows have a flat battery. After a night parked, it will not start and the idiot who runs it will blame you claiming that you must have left the lights on overnight. if you argue he will call he police. If you have an accident it will cost £1200 in uninsured loss from Hertz.

Cars can be delivered to Praia Airport

It costs about £400 for a Daihatsdu Terios for one week.

A from Guernsey found a 4x4 was essential.

"we’re back from Santiago in one piece ! – thank you for your help with the hire car – all worked out seamlessly. Also thanks for your advice to use a 4x4 - ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL in my view. The island was as you described – we didn’t venture into Praia & didn’t encounter any unpleasant people – just the opposite in fact – the (few) people we rubbed shoulders with were really friendly & helpful – though we were quite “taken aback” by the poverty & general way of life etc."
