Weeks or months in Accra without owning a car, battling traffic, or hunting for a reliable driver every time you go out? Long-term hire with a professional driver is often the more practical answer.
Some trips are too long for daily bookings to make sense, yet too short or too unpredictable to justify owning a car. If you are in Accra for a month, a season or a full project, a car with a professional driver on a monthly arrangement often fits your life far better than a string of one-day hires.
It also helps when your schedule shifts from week to week. Meetings move, school runs change, and a family visit can quickly turn into three weeks of airport pickups and day trips. A monthly arrangement lets the vehicle and driver follow those changes without you rebooking every few days.
Then there is the traffic. Getting around Accra is often slow at peak times, and much of the stress comes from the traffic itself rather than the distance. With a driver at the wheel, you can use the journey for calls, reading or planning your day, and you do not have to think about navigation, parking or where to fill up.
Compare that with owning a car: the purchase or lease, insurance, servicing, parking, and the time spent managing all of it. For a stay of weeks or months, a monthly hire is often the simpler route, and it runs only for the period you agree.
Pre-book a car with a driver or a Kotoka airport pickup — fixed price, agreed before you land.
Our monthly arrangements tend to suit a few groups particularly well. Each has different needs, but they share the same underlying problem: getting around reliably without the overhead of owning or managing a car.
If you fall into one of these groups, raise monthly hire at the start of your planning rather than after weeks of juggling taxis and favours. The earlier we know your dates, the easier it is to set up the arrangement properly.
The principle is simple: the longer the hire, the lower the cost per day. Monthly and weekly rates are meaningfully lower per day than daily hire, so the total for a month is not simply thirty times the daily figure.
To put the daily starting rates in context, a Corolla starts from GH₵800 a day, a RAV4 from GH₵1,200 a day, and a Prado with driver from GH₵1,600 a day. Multiply any of these by thirty and it becomes clear why committing to a longer period matters. Monthly pricing brings the per-day figure down to something that suits a longer stay.
The exact figure depends on the vehicle you choose, the hours you need, your pickup point and the length of the period. That is why we quote each monthly arrangement individually rather than publishing one fixed number. Send us the details and we will work out a monthly price you can weigh against your budget.
You can pay in cedis or in foreign currency, by Mobile Money (MTN, Telecel or AirtelTigo), bank transfer or cash. Ask us to confirm the payment schedule when you receive your quote, so there are no surprises about when and how to pay.
A daily hire gives you a driver for the day. A monthly hire, arranged well, gives you a dedicated driver for the whole period, and that changes the experience in ways you notice quickly.
Consistency is the biggest benefit. A driver who knows your routes, your preferred times, the quicker way round a jam and the easiest entrance to your compound will save you time every single day. You do not have to re-explain the route or your expectations each morning.
Trust builds over time too. When the same person handles your schedule, you can plan with more confidence, share your itinerary with them, and rely on them to keep you informed if plans change. For expats, families and project teams especially, that continuity can be worth as much as the vehicle itself.
We aim to assign one dedicated driver for the duration of your monthly hire, and we will confirm that arrangement in your quote so you know exactly what to expect.
Tell us your dates and trip on WhatsApp and we’ll reply the same day. No payment on the website.
Every hire with CarRentalGH includes a professional driver. The driver handles the road, so you can focus on your meetings, your family or your work while you travel.
To arrange a monthly hire, the steps are straightforward:
Before you confirm, check the details in writing: what the quote covers, how fuel is handled, the working hours and any overtime arrangements, and what insurance and any excess apply. Clear answers at the start prevent misunderstandings later and make a long hire much easier to manage.
Plans change, and a good monthly arrangement should bend with them. If your stay runs longer than expected, ask us to extend and tell us as early as possible, so we can keep the vehicle and driver lined up. Extensions depend on availability, so the sooner we know, the better.
You can also change vehicles part-way through if your needs shift. A Corolla may suit a quiet month of city errands, while a RAV4 or a Prado with driver might be better for family outings, larger groups or rougher routes. Talk to us about the switch and we will confirm how it affects your rate.
When you are ready for a figure, send us your dates and requirements. A monthly quote is the clearest way to compare costs against your plans, and it is the best starting point for anyone planning a longer stay in Accra.
