Banjul Car Rental Guide

Essential driving tips and rental advice for your self-drive adventure in The Gambia

Can I drive in Banjul with my US driver's license, or do I need an International Driving Permit?
Your US driver's license is valid for driving in The Gambia, but an International Driving Permit (IDP) is strongly recommended. The IDP serves as a certified translation and is often required when renting a car or when dealing with local police checkpoints. Obtain one from AAA before your trip (cost: ~$20). Without an IDP, you may face difficulties or delays if stopped by authorities.
I keep left but my rental car has the steering wheel on the left—will I get confused?
The Gambia uses left-hand traffic (keep left), but vehicles are left-hand drive (steering wheel on the left). This is the opposite of the US, so extra caution is needed, especially at intersections and roundabouts. Take time to adjust your spatial awareness when pulling out from driveways or making turns. Most main roads have clear enough markings, but rural paths can be narrow—honk gently when passing.
What's the fuel situation? Will I find gas stations easily?
Petrol (gasoline) and diesel are widely available in Banjul and along the main coastal road. Look for green pumps for petrol and black for diesel. Credit cards are not always accepted at smaller stations—carry cash (dalasi) for fuel purchases. The 'full-to-full' policy is standard: receive the car with a full tank and return it full to avoid refueling charges. In remote areas, fill up whenever you see a station.
How bad are the roads during the rainy season (June–October)?
Roads significantly deteriorate during the rainy season. Potholes deepen, and some unpaved roads become impassable or require 4WD. Flash flooding can block roads overnight. If visiting in these months, rent a 4WD vehicle with higher ground clearance, plan extra travel time, and monitor local conditions daily. The dry season (November–May) offers smoother driving on most routes.
Are there any toll roads, and how do I pay for parking in Banjul?
There are no toll roads in The Gambia. For parking in Banjul, unofficial attendants (often wearing vests) may approach you and expect a small tip (10–20 dalasi, ~$0.15–$0.30). Settle on a price before leaving your car. Street parking is mostly free but limited—always lock valuables out of sight. Major hotels and shopping areas have attended lots.
What happens if I get into an accident or my rental car is stolen?
Basic insurance (CDW) is typically included in rental rates but carries a deductible (often $500–$1,500). Verify whether theft protection and roadside assistance are included. In case of an accident, call local police immediately for a report—your rental company will need it for claims. Keep the rental agreement, receipts, and photos of any damage. US credit cards often provide rental insurance, but confirm coverage for The Gambia before relying on it.
