What Car Hire With a Driver Costs

Planning a day in Accra on your own can mean hours lost to traffic, parking and finding the right road. Hiring a car with a professional driver takes that load off you, so you can focus on the meetings, the family visit or the trip you came for.

CarRentalGH is based in Accra and Kasoa, and we serve Greater Accra, Kotoka Airport, Kasoa, Cape Coast and the surrounding coast. Every hire includes a professional driver. Our starting daily rates begin at GH₵800 for a Corolla, and they rise with the vehicle you need.

These are starting ("from") prices, not a fixed figure for every trip. The final price depends on your dates, the distance, the vehicle and whether the journey stays in town or heads upcountry. Fuel and the driver are part of the arrangement we quote, so the figure you agree on covers the whole plan.

This guide is for anyone who needs a car with a driver rather than a taxi or a shared ride. That includes business visitors with a packed schedule, families visiting relatives across the city, event organisers, and people who simply want to arrive relaxed. It is also useful for comparing options, because the right price is the one that matches the vehicle, the number of days and the distance you actually need.

Starting Rates by Vehicle

Here are our starting daily rates. Each one includes a professional driver, and the right choice depends on how many people are travelling and how far you are going.

  • Corolla from GH₵800/day: suited to solo travellers, couples and short in-town runs between meetings, shops and the airport area.
  • RAV4 from GH₵1,200/day: more room and luggage space for families, or for busy days with several stops across Greater Accra.
  • Prado with driver from GH₵1,600/day: comfortable for longer journeys and for business guests who want a roomy, smooth ride.
  • 30-seat Coaster from GH₵2,200/day: built for groups, such as church or family parties, corporate outings, weddings and day trips to Cape Coast.

Airport transfers are priced separately and start from GH₵450. You will find how that works in the section on airport transfers below.

If you are choosing between two vehicles, start with the number of people and the amount of luggage, then think about the roads. A Corolla is the most economical choice for one or two people on city routes. Once you have four or more passengers, or several bags, the extra space of a RAV4 or Prado is usually worth the difference. For a group of twenty or more, the Coaster is the sensible option, because one vehicle and one driver is simpler to manage than several cars.

Daily, Weekly and Monthly Hire

Most people start with a daily hire: a single day of meetings, a family event, a wedding, or a visit to the coast. The daily rate is the simplest figure to understand, and it is the one listed above.

If you need a car for several days, a week or a month, the sums change in your favour. Weekly and monthly hire cost less per day than the daily rate, because the vehicle and driver are committed for longer. We do not quote one discount for everyone, since it depends on the vehicle, the dates and where you are going, so the honest answer is to ask. Tell us how many days you need and we will quote that period as a whole.

As a rough guide only, three days in a Corolla at the starting daily rate comes to GH₵2,400, before any changes for distance, dates or group size. Ask for a weekly or monthly figure as well, because the cost per day falls over a longer hire.

For a multi-day plan, it helps to write down each day's stops before you ask for a quote. A day that covers Accra meetings, a lunch in Kasoa and an evening drop-off in East Legon is very different from a day that runs from Accra to Cape Coast and back. Giving us the full picture lets us price each day properly rather than guessing, and it means your weekly or monthly figure reflects how you will really use the car.

Airport Transfer Pricing at Kotoka

Many visitors and returning travellers only need a ride between Kotoka International Airport and a hotel, office or family home. For that, an airport transfer is usually simpler and easier to budget for than a full day's hire.

Kotoka airport transfers start at GH₵450 and are priced as a fixed fare rather than by the day. The exact figure depends on your drop-off point and the time you travel, so when you ask for a quote, send your flight details, your pickup point and your destination.

If you are arriving with a lot of luggage or several people, tell us so we can suggest the right vehicle. A RAV4 or Prado may be more comfortable than a Corolla for a family, and a larger group may need the Coaster.

Flight times can shift, so tell us your flight number and arrival time when you ask for a quote. Knowing your schedule lets us plan the pickup around when you actually land. If your arrival is late at night, mention it early so the arrangement can be confirmed before you travel.

What Changes the Price

Several things move the final figure up or down. Knowing them helps you plan your trip and compare quotes fairly.

  • Vehicle class: a Coaster costs more per day than a Corolla because it carries far more people.
  • Duration: a single day, a few days, a week or a month are each priced differently, and longer hire works out cheaper per day.
  • Distance and route: trips to Cape Coast and the surrounding coast cover more ground and more hours than a day around Accra, so they are priced to match.
  • In-town or upcountry: journeys beyond the city add driving time and fuel, which is why we ask where you are going before we quote.
  • Group size: more passengers can mean a bigger vehicle, and the rate changes with it.
  • Dates: busy travel periods, such as the festive season, can affect both availability and price, so booking early helps.

When you compare quotes, check that each one covers the same things: the driver, the fuel, the vehicle and the route. A lower figure that leaves any of those out is not really lower at all.

Here is how this plays out in practice. A Corolla for a day in Accra, with stops in two or three areas, will be priced very differently from a Coaster taking a church group to Cape Coast for the day. The first is a short, city-based hire. The second covers distance, a larger vehicle and far more time on the road. They are different jobs, which is why we quote each trip on its own details rather than applying one number to everything.

How to Get an Exact Quote and How to Pay

The quickest route to a real price is to message us. Contact us on WhatsApp at +233 24 915 1503, or email info@carrentalgh.com. Send your preferred dates, your pickup point, where you plan to go, how many people are travelling and any vehicle you have in mind.

If you are not sure which vehicle suits your trip, describe the journey and we will recommend one. A clear plan gets you a clear quote, and it saves time for both of us.

Once you have agreed the quote, you can pay by Mobile Money (MTN, Telecel or AirtelTigo), by bank transfer or in cash. You can pay in cedis or in foreign currency. Payment is not taken through our website, and there are no hidden fees beyond the quote you agreed.

When you message us, a short and clear note is enough. Include the approximate number of days or weeks, the number of passengers and the places you will visit. If you have a budget in mind, say so. It helps us suggest a vehicle that fits, and it means we can be honest about what is realistic before you commit to anything.

Frequently asked questions

Is the driver included in the price?
Yes. Every hire includes a professional driver, whichever vehicle you choose, and the driver is part of the quote from the start. The price you agree covers the driver, so there is no separate arrangement to make.
Is fuel included in the quote?
Fuel is part of the arrangement we quote, so the figure you agree on covers the driving in your plan. For long upcountry or coastal trips, ask us to confirm exactly what your quote includes so you know the full picture before you confirm. Fuel needs can change with the route, which is why we ask about it up front.
How do weekly and monthly rates work?
Longer hire costs less per day than the daily rate, so the more days you book, the lower the average daily cost tends to be. Tell us the start date, how many weeks or months you need and your preferred vehicle, and we will send a quote for the whole period. Ask for the daily figure as well so you can compare.
How much is an airport transfer?
Kotoka airport transfers start from GH₵450 and are priced as a fixed fare. To confirm your exact figure, send us your flight time, pickup point and destination. Ask us to confirm the total in your quote before you travel.
Can I pay in foreign currency?
Yes. You can pay in cedis or in foreign currency. Payment is available by Mobile Money (MTN, Telecel or AirtelTigo), bank transfer or cash. Confirm the amount and currency in your quote so that both sides know exactly what is being paid.
Are there website payments or hidden fees?
No. We do not take payment through our website, and there are no hidden website fees. The price you agree with us on WhatsApp or email is the price you pay, so ask about anything you are unsure of before you confirm.
