What Should I Know About Gas Stations in Benin When Renting a Car From COO?
Most car rentals from COO operate on a 'full-to-full' fuel policy, requiring you to return the car with a full tank.

Cotonou Car Rental Guide

Essential driving tips and rental FAQ for self-drive travelers in Benin

Can I drive with my US driver's license in Benin, or do I need an International Driving Permit?
An International Driving Permit (IDP) is strongly recommended alongside your US license. While some rental agencies may accept a valid US license alone, the IDP serves as an official translation and is practically essential for police checkpoints. Get one from AAA before departure ($20, valid 1 year). Without it, you risk fines of 10,000-50,000 CFA franc ($16-$80).
Is Benin safe to drive in? What are the road conditions like?
Driving in Cotonou is challenging for newcomers. Major roads are paved but riddled with potholes; unpaved roads become nearly impassable during rainy season (April-October). Traffic flows on the right, but honking is constant and lane markings are often ignored. Avoid night driving outside the city—unlit vehicles, pedestrians, and sudden stops are common. Rent a vehicle with high ground clearance if possible.
How much is the young driver surcharge, and at what age can I rent a car?
Most agencies set the minimum age at 21-23, though some require drivers to be 25 for larger vehicles. If you're under 25, expect a young driver surcharge of approximately $15-$25 per day. Drivers over 70 may face restrictions or additional fees at certain agencies. Always confirm age policies upfront, as they vary significantly between rental companies.
What type of fuel do cars use, and will I find gas stations easily?
Benin uses gasoline (essence) and diesel. Gas stations are plentiful in Cotonou and along major highways, but scarce in rural areas. Fill up before heading to remote regions like Pendjari National Park. Most rentals come with a full-to-full fuel policy—return the car with the same amount you received to avoid refueling charges at 1.5-2x local pump prices.
What happens if I get into an accident or my rental is stolen?
Basic liability insurance is typically included, but theft protection and collision damage waiver (CDW) cost extra ($15-$30/day). CDW reduces your potential liability from full vehicle value to a fixed excess ($500-$1,500). Always document the car thoroughly with photos before departing, and insist on a police report for any incident—without one, your claim will likely be denied.
