Rent a car
You want to explore Mauritania on your own? No problem. Rent the right vehicle for you. The vehicles we offer range from sedan to pick-up. Most of them are TOYOTA vehicles, as almost all modern passenger cars in Mauritania are built by the Japanese manufacturer. A limousine - mostly a TOYOTA COROLLA or AVENSIS - can only be booked in Nouakchott. You can drive these yourself and use them, for example, to explore the city. It is not recommended to go on off-road tours with such a vehicle. The prices vary depending on the type and age of the car between the equivalent of 40 and 55 EUR / day.
If you are planning larger tours, for example to explore the interior of the country, you might need an off-road car. In most cases this is the TOYOTA HILUX. The advantage: Even outside the capital you have the possibility to rent such a vehicle spontaneously in bigger touristic cities like Nouadhibou or Atar. For pick-up rentals in Bilad Shinqit, however, the following always applies: A driver is booked at the same time. This is not only advisable for navigational reasons. Not all roads in the country are paved, so orientation is essential - especially if you want to travel into the interior of Mauritania (Adrar, Tagant, Aoukar, etc.). There are also frequent police checks on the road, where a local who knows the area and the language can be of great help.
However, the additional driver does not change the price much: For the booking of a HILUX you will have to pay between 55 and 60 EUR / day. Gasoline is in any case excluded from the booking. We will be happy to assist you with advice and booking of a rental car. We can also help prepare all the necessary documents for your trip.
