Paying for a car with a driver in Ghana should feel simple and clear, and you should never be left guessing about what you are paying or how. This guide explains exactly how payment works with CarRentalGH, from MTN Mobile Money, Telecel Cash and AirtelTigo Money to bank transfer and cash, and how cedis compare with paying in your own currency. It also explains our booking process from start to finish. Nothing is paid on this website. You book by WhatsApp or email, we agree the price with you first, and we do not take card payments. We are based in Accra and Kasoa, and we serve Greater Accra, Kotoka International Airport, Kasoa, Cape Coast and the surrounding coast. Read this once and you will know what to expect before any money changes hands.
Mobile Money is part of everyday life in Ghana, and for most people it is the simplest way to pay for a car with a driver. You do not need a bank branch, a card terminal or a special app. If your phone is registered on a mobile network, you can send payment straight from your phone.
We accept three services:
Here is how it usually works. Once we have agreed your booking and your price, we send you the payment number and the exact amount in writing. You send that amount from your phone. Your network may ask you to approve the payment with your PIN, which is a normal security check and not a sign that anything is wrong. When the payment goes through, your network sends you a confirmation message. Keep that message, because it is your record that the money was sent.
Two habits will keep this smooth. First, check the number and the amount on your screen before you approve, especially if you are paying a deposit or a balance. Second, your network may charge a small transfer fee. That fee is set by your provider, not by us, so check their current charges before you send. The amount we agreed is the amount you should send.
What if a payment does not go through? It happens sometimes, for reasons that have nothing to do with your booking, such as a network delay or a low balance. Do not send the same amount twice. Check your phone for the confirmation message first, and if you are not sure whether the money has left your account, message us on WhatsApp with the time and amount you tried to send. We would much rather hear from you and sort it out together than have you guess.
Pre-book a car with a driver or a Kotoka airport pickup — fixed price, agreed before you land.
If you prefer to pay from a bank account, bank transfer is available. It suits larger bookings and longer trips, and it suits anyone who already banks this way and wants a clear paper trail.
We share bank transfer details with you privately, by WhatsApp or email, once your booking has been agreed. Please do not rely on account details you see in a social media post, in a message from someone you do not know, or in anything that claims to come from us but does not match what we have sent you. If something looks different, stop and message us on WhatsApp before you transfer anything.
When you transfer, use your name and your booking date as the payment reference if your bank allows it. This makes it easier for us to match your payment to your booking, and it helps you find the payment later. Keep the transfer confirmation from your bank, whether it is a receipt, a screenshot or an email.
Cash is accepted too. Some people like to pay in cash at the start or the end of a trip, and that is perfectly fine. It can be a good choice for smaller amounts, or for clients who are already in Ghana and prefer not to pay from their phone.
A few sensible habits make cash simple and safe:
If you are carrying a large amount, think about whether Mobile Money or a bank transfer would be safer for you. Cash is always your choice, and we will not push you towards any particular method.
The local currency is the Ghana cedi, written GH₵, and our rates are quoted in cedis. For example, a Toyota Corolla is from GH₵800 per day, a Toyota RAV4 is from GH₵1,200 per day, and a transfer from Kotoka International Airport is from GH₵450.
Many visitors would rather pay in their own currency, and that is possible. Because exchange rates move, we agree the exact amount and the rate in writing before you send anything. That way the figure you pay is the figure we both agreed, with no surprises when the payment arrives. Your own bank or money transfer service may also charge a fee for converting currency, so check that before you send.
As a simple guide, if your booking is three days in a Corolla at the starting rate, the vehicle alone comes to at least GH₵2,400 before any extras we agree together. Ask us for the total in your own currency before you decide how you would like to pay.
Tell us your dates and trip on WhatsApp and we’ll reply the same day. No payment on the website.
Nothing is paid on this website. The website is there to give you information about our service. To book, you contact us on WhatsApp at +233 24 915 1503, or by email at info@carrentalgh.com. Tell us where you are going, when, how many people are travelling, and roughly how many hours or days you need. We then reply with a quote.
A good quote is clear. It should show the vehicle, the professional driver, the dates and the hours or days, the pick-up point and any route you have discussed, and the total in the currency you will pay in. If something is not included, we tell you so that you can decide with full information. Ask us anything you are unsure about before you agree.
Some bookings may ask for a deposit to hold a date. Whether one applies depends on your booking, so we tell you clearly during the quote. If a deposit is needed, we tell you the amount, how to pay it and what it covers, before you send any money.
Once the quote is agreed and any deposit is settled, we confirm your booking in writing. The balance is paid as set out in that agreed quote.
Whichever method you use, ask for a receipt for every payment. For Mobile Money and bank transfers, keep the confirmation message or screenshot, which shows the date, the amount and the reference. For cash, ask for a written receipt showing the date, the amount and what the payment is for.
Keep your quote and your booking messages together as well. If you ever need to check what was agreed, the whole trail sits in one place: the price, the payment and the confirmation.
We believe transparency is the foundation of trust. That is why the price is agreed before any payment is made, why we offer clear and familiar payment options, and why we will never ask you to pay through an unfamiliar link, a third-party app or a card form. If anyone asks you to pay in a way that does not match this guide, stop and contact us directly on WhatsApp at +233 24 915 1503 before you send anything.
