Hire a car with a professional driver for a weekend escape from Accra, from Friday to Sunday or for a single day, and let us take care of the road. Head to the Volta estuary, the lake at Akosombo or the cool hills of Aburi for one clear price for the weekend.
Weekend trips from Accra with a driver are the easiest way to get out of the city without the stress of navigating the roads yourself. Every hire comes with a professional driver, so you can relax, talk, take photos and enjoy the journey while someone else keeps you on the road.
A driver meets you in arrivals at Kotoka with a name-board and a fixed price agreed before you land — no haggling with taxis after a long flight.
We bring the car and driver to your hotel, home or office — Osu, East Legon, Cantonments, Spintex, Airport City, Tema or out to Kasoa.
Professional drivers who know the Tetteh Quarshie interchange, Spintex traffic, the embassies and the quickest way to the coast.

Accra is a short drive from some of Ghana's most rewarding weekend places. From our base in Accra and Kasoa, we run a car and professional driver to the Volta estuary at Ada Foah, roughly two to two and a half hours east, and to Akosombo and Lake Volta, about an hour and a half to two hours north-east. For a shorter break, the cool Akuapem hills at Aburi are around an hour north, and the coast at Kokrobite, Gomoa Fetteh, Cape Coast or Elmina is within reach for a longer weekend.
Whether you are travelling as a family, a group of friends, a couple or a larger party, the trip is planned around you. Our driver stays for the whole trip, and overnight arrangements are agreed when you book, so everything is clear before you set off. You receive one clear price for the weekend, and we will help you choose the vehicle that suits your group, your luggage and the roads you plan to take.
💬 Plan a Weekend AwayAda Foah sits where the Volta River meets the Atlantic, about two to two and a half hours east of Accra. It is a good choice for a relaxed Friday-to-Sunday by the river and the sea, and the journey in a comfortable car with a professional driver is part of the break.
Akosombo is about one and a half to two hours north-east of Accra, on the road to the wide waters of Lake Volta. It works well as a day trip or an overnight escape, with the lake and the dam area as your reward. Ask us about the driver's overnight arrangements when you book.
Aburi, about an hour north of Accra in the Akuapem hills, is the cooler escape for a day or an overnight break. For a longer run, Kokrobite, Gomoa Fetteh, Cape Coast and Elmina on the coast each make a different kind of weekend, and we will plan the route with you.
