Cape Verde car hire - Sal Island

4x4 car hire in Sal enables you to get to those magic places other tourists cannot reach. We offer rental cars for 3 days or more. A 4x4 is well suited to the terrain, to get off road to deserted beaches and places to swim, surf and windsurf. There are restaurants and bars off the beaten track too. The advantage of booking before you go is that you don't waste precious time trying to organise car rental when you get there, where you may find that only the expensive cars at nearly 100 euros a day are available. We have looked around to find reasonably priced car rental. Unfortunately, cars are expensive to buy in Sal due to shipping costs and high import duties and this is reflected in rental prices..

Guest comments on car hire

Despite having visited Sal on several occasions, hiring a Jimny for a week meant we got to all sorts of different spots on the island, as and when we wanted. It speeded up trips into Espargos and Santa Maria and we got to come and go as we pleased, without waiting for taxis or aluguiers. We found new parts of the island and its volcanic structure better. The remote beaches and spots we stopped for picnics and swims could only be reached by 4 x 4. I will definitely hire again when I return. C from London
