Why pre-book your airport pickup
Arriving at Kotoka International Airport without a plan usually means facing a crowd of people offering rides and negotiating a fare while you are tired, unsure of the local rate and carrying your bags. A pre-booked pickup removes most of that pressure. You settle the details in advance, in writing, at a time when you are not under pressure.
The practical benefits are clear. Your driver is expecting you and already has your flight details, so there is no guesswork about who is collecting you. You know the fare before you travel. And you have a named contact to message if anything changes. Every airport hire includes a professional driver, so you can focus on your arrival rather than the route.
If you are ready now, the quickest step is a WhatsApp message to +233 24 915 1503 with your flight details. The next section explains exactly what to include.

What information to send us
A complete booking starts with a complete message. The more precise you are, the more accurately we can plan your transfer. Send us the following:
- Full name of the lead passenger, as it appears on the passport
- Flight number, including the airline code, as shown on your ticket
- Date of arrival
- Scheduled arrival time, as shown on your ticket or the airline app
- Number of passengers, including children
- Number of bags, with large suitcases and hand luggage counted separately
- Destination in Accra: the full address, or the hotel or area name, plus a contact number
- If you are connecting, the final flight into Accra
Luggage matters more than many travellers expect. Give us the count and rough size of your suitcases so the vehicle can take everything without a last-minute scramble at the kerb. If you are travelling as a group, sharing the total passenger count early avoids surprises.
Send these details on WhatsApp to +233 24 915 1503, or by email to info@carrentalgh.com. A short message with everything above is enough to get started.
How the price is agreed
The fare is agreed before you land. This is the main difference between a pre-booked transfer and a pickup arranged on the spot. Once we have your details, we confirm the price for your trip, and you know the figure before you set off from home or your hotel.
Kotoka airport transfers start from GH₵450. The exact fare for your journey is confirmed when you book, so you are not guessing at arrivals or trying to agree a price with a stranger who has just approached you.
When you enquire, ask us to confirm what the fare covers, including the drop-off point and any stops you plan to make. Getting this in writing before you travel means there are no surprises at the end of the trip.
Payment is straightforward. Once the fare is confirmed, pay by Mobile Money, bank transfer or cash. We do not accept credit cards, and nothing is paid through the website. Keep the confirmation message for your records.

Meeting your driver at Kotoka
Once you land, clear immigration and collect your bags as normal. Then make your way to the arrivals area of Terminal 3, where your driver will be waiting with a name-board showing your name.
A few simple habits make the handover quicker:
- Keep your phone switched on and charged, so your driver can reach you on WhatsApp if needed.
- Make sure the mobile number in your booking is one you will have with you on arrival.
- If you cannot see your name-board straight away, send a WhatsApp message to the number you were given and wait where you are.
- Check that the name on the board matches your booking before you walk to the vehicle.
Because the driver is identified by the name-board, you can spot them quickly even in a busy hall. Let us know in advance if you are travelling with someone who needs extra help, so we can plan the handover with them in mind.
Want a driver waiting for you at Terminal 3 when you land? Book on WhatsApp at +233 24 915 1503 or email info@carrentalgh.com.

If your flight is delayed or changes
Flights move. Delays, early arrivals and rebooked connections happen, so a good booking allows for them. Here is how to handle a change.
Tell us as early as possible. If your flight changes, send the new flight number, date and time on WhatsApp to +233 24 915 1503, or by email to info@carrentalgh.com. We will update your pickup and confirm the revised time with you.
Keep us informed on the day. Our team can check flight status where the information is available, but a short message from you is the most reliable way to make sure the driver knows your situation.
Ask about changes when you book. Find out how a late or early arrival is handled before you travel, so you know exactly how it works.
Allow a small buffer. Even with a booking in place, it helps to leave some time between landing and your first appointment in Accra.
If anything changes, contact us in writing so there is a clear record of the new arrangement. Message us on WhatsApp at +233 24 915 1503 whenever your plans shift.
Book in three simple steps
Booking takes about as long as sending a single message. Follow these three steps.
Step 1: Send your details. Message +233 24 915 1503 on WhatsApp, or email info@carrentalgh.com, with your flight number, date and time, number of passengers, number of bags and your destination in Accra.
Step 2: Confirm your fixed price. We come back to you with the agreed fare for your transfer. Check it, ask any questions about what it covers and confirm.
Step 3: Pay and relax. Pay by Mobile Money, bank transfer or cash. We do not accept credit cards. Once payment is made, your booking is confirmed and your professional driver is set for Terminal 3 arrivals.
By the time you board your flight, you will know who is meeting you and what you will pay. Send your details on WhatsApp at +233 24 915 1503 to start.
Frequently asked questions
Do I pay on the website?
No. Nothing is paid through the website. Book by WhatsApp on +233 24 915 1503 or by email at info@carrentalgh.com, then pay by Mobile Money, bank transfer or cash once your fare is confirmed. We do not accept credit cards.
How early should I book?
As soon as your flight is booked, and certainly before you travel. The earlier we have your details, the sooner we can confirm your vehicle and fixed price.
Will the driver be professional?
Yes. Every airport hire with CarRentalGH includes a professional driver, so you can focus on your arrival and your plans in Accra rather than on the route.
What if my flight is delayed?
Send us the updated details as soon as you know them. We will adjust the pickup time and confirm it with you. Ask us when you book how a delay is handled, so you know what to expect.
Can I book a pickup for someone else?
Yes. Send their full name as it appears on their passport, their flight details, the number of bags and a working contact number for the day. The name on the board in Terminal 3 arrivals will match the passenger's name.
What if I have more luggage than I first said?
Tell us as soon as you know. We will check whether the booked vehicle has room for your bags and let you know before you land. It is far better to mention extra luggage in advance than to find out at the kerb.
