About Renting a Car at Abidjan Airport Felix

Pick up your rental car directly at Félix Houphouët-Boigny International Airport (ABJ) and get started on your journey in Ivory Coast right away. The airport is located 16 km from the Plateau district in central Abidjan, approximately 25–40 minutes' drive depending on traffic. With 4 car rental companies on-site, the selection of cars is good for direct pick-up upon arrival.

ABJ airport is located in the Port-Bouët district south of Abidjan's city center, close to the Atlantic coast and the Vridi Canal. From the airport, it's 100 km east to Grand-Bassam along the coast, and 240 km north to Yamoussoukro via the A3 highway. The beach at Bassam is a popular first stop for newcomers.

Pick up your car during daytime if possible – the airport and its surroundings are easier to navigate in daylight. Check that the car has a spare tire and emergency kit – standard in Ivory Coast. Book a car at least a week in advance during peak season in December–January.

How long does it take to drive from ABJ airport to Plateau? Approximately 16 km, but Abidjan traffic can make the journey 25–60 minutes long – plan for rush hour. Can I return the car at another location in Ivory Coast?

One-way rental to, for example, Yamoussoukro or San-Pédro is possible but involves extra costs – ask the rental company. What documents do I need to rent a car at ABJ? A valid passport, international driving permit, national driver's license, and credit card for deposit are required by all rental companies.

We compare prices from all major providers at Abidjan Airport Felix so you can see the total cost upfront - including insurance, fuel terms and any extras. Most bookings include free cancellation up to 48 hours before pickup, giving you flexibility if your plans change.
