Car hire in Benin: FAQs

The types of documents you’ll need to rent a car in Benin depend on the car rental company you go with. But in general, you will need a valid drivers license, ID and passport. Once you’ve booked car hire in Benin, you can easily get in touch with your chosen provider to find out.

It’s easy to hire a car in Benin. First, you need to decide where in Benin you want to pick up your car from.

Once you’ve decided where you want to go, simply enter your dates and search for the best deal for you. Once you’ve found your deal, you’ll be redirected to the provider to book with no extra fees.

You can rent a car for as long as you like, depending on availability. If you know what dates you’re needing wheels for, start searching with Skyscanner today.

It depends where in Benin you want to visit. The most popular place to go is Cotonou. On average, it costs £32 per day to rent a car there. The cheapest price we could find is £29 per day.

It depends. Some car hire companies in Benin accept debit cards, others require a credit card. Check the company’s accepted payment methods before you book.

Either way, the card needs to be in the main driver's name and you'll need enough money on it to cover a security deposit. You’ll get that back when you return the car.
If you've booked car hire with free cancellation, you can usually cancel or change your booking without paying a fee. The time you have to cancel depends on the car hire company, but it's typically around 48 hours before pick-up. If you cancel after that, you may be charged.

If your booking doesn't include free cancellation, you'll need to check the car hire company's policy. Depending on when you cancel, you might need to pay a cancellation fee or you won’t get a refund.
We couldn’t find any electric car hire deals in Benin. More EVs are becoming available, so that could change in the future. If you're still looking for a lower-emission option, you can compare hybrid cars on Skyscanner.
The easiest way to compare car hire in Benin is to look at lots of companies at the same time, rather than checking each one individually.

Skyscanner is a comparison website. We search 2 car hire companies and compare prices across 11 available cars – so you don't have to.
SUV hire, which is usually something like the Hyundai Kona, averages £83 per day. The cheapest price we found for SUV hire in Benin is £75 per day with Hertz.
The best time to book car hire in Benin is usually as early as possible, especially if you’re travelling during busy periods.

You can sometimes find a good last-minute deal, but it's never guaranteed and availability is more limited.
