About Renting a Car at Lomé Center

Lomé, Togo's capital on the Atlantic coast, is the only African capital that borders another country directly - Ghana lies just meters away to the west. Two rental agencies are located in the city center. From Lomé, you can easily explore all of southern Togo with a rental car.

Lomé center stretches along the Atlantic coast with Boulevard du Mono as the waterfront promenade. From the center, it's 120 km (2 hours) to Kpalimé in the highlands, 35 km to the border with Benin to the east, and just 2 km to the Ghana border at Aflao to the west. Avoid rush hour traffic along Boulevard de la Marina and Route d'Atakpamé between 07-09 and 16-18.

Grand Marché de Lomé and Marché des Féticheurs are attractions best reached by car with parking on the outskirts. Refuel at Total or Shell stations in the center - fuel quality is better than at informal vendors. Can I drive the rental car to Kpalimé for a day trip?
