Landing at Kotoka? Skip the taxi scramble. Here’s how to have a car and driver waiting on arrival — or a self-drive vehicle ready to collect — booked before you fly.
The first ten minutes after you clear Kotoka’s arrivals hall set the tone for your whole trip. Done badly, it is a wall of drivers, a negotiation and a gamble on the car. Done well — with a car already booked — it is a driver with your name on a board, a hand with your bags, and a clean, air-conditioned vehicle for a price you already agreed. This guide covers car rental and pickup at Kotoka International Airport: your options, what it costs, and how to lock it in before you fly.
Booking your car or transfer before you arrive solves the three things that go wrong at any busy airport: the price (fixed and agreed, not negotiated after a long flight), the car (a known, clean vehicle, not pot luck), and the certainty (a driver who is already there, not a wait and a hope). For visitors, returning diaspora and business travellers alike, it is the single easiest thing you can do to start a Ghana trip smoothly. Our full Kotoka pickup guide walks through the arrival itself.
Two ways to do it, depending on your trip:
Returning from the diaspora? Our diaspora pickup guide is written for you. Arriving as a group? See group airport transfers.
Airport transfers are priced per trip, fixed before you travel. Guide figures from Kotoka into Accra:

A meet-and-greet — a driver inside arrivals with a name board — can be added for a proper welcome. If you’re keeping a car for your stay, see our rates page for daily and weekly hire.
Give us your flight number and arrival time and we track the flight, so if it’s delayed, your driver adjusts and is still there when you land — no extra stress and no watching the clock on your behalf. This is exactly where a pre-booked service beats grabbing a taxi: the plan flexes around your flight.
Send your flight details and dates. We’ll meet you at arrivals with the right car — one clear price, no payment on the site.
Tell us your flight details and arrival time, your dates, whether you want a driver or self-drive, and whether it’s the airport transfer only or a car for your whole stay. We confirm the vehicle and one clear price in cedis or your home currency, meet you on arrival, and put a real Ghanaian phone number in your hand. No payment is taken on the website.
