Car Rental in Mali

When you pick up the vehicle, the same card must be used to guarantee the rental agreement. There are two card kinds we accept:

• We will accept a credit card as a guarantee.
• We will accept a debit card if purchase our Platinum Insurance plan for the duration of your rental period.

Just bear in mind that the cardholder/renter and any additional drivers must sign the rental agreement in person at the time of pick-up.

The rental car companies in Mali can only guarantee a certain type of car, not an exact make or model. Car rental companies have cars from many different brands in the same category. These cars should have the same features that were confirmed at the time of the reservation. Here is an explanation of the various car classes:

You may be able to reserve a specific model in some cases. You will notice a special note next to the vehicle in the search results if such a possibility exists.

You can rent almost any kind of car in Mali, from small, cheap cars to high-end ones. Here are some things you might want to think about:

A size of the car: A bigger car may be more comfortable on the highway, but many beautiful villages in Mali have narrow streets. Parking garages are often small, and getting in and out of them can be a nightmare. Ford Ka is the most well-liked model among economy classes in Mali. From EUROPCAR the daily rate for this vehicle begins at 14$. For those who want some extra comfort and have the appropriate budget, EAST COAST is ready to offer a Business-class model - Nissan Maxima, price starts at 60$ per day.
Most rental cars in Mali are manual, but more and more automatic cars are becoming available. Automatic cars usually cost more to rent, and if your license only lets you drive an automatic car, you won't be able to rent a stick shift car.

Traveling by car lets you explore at your own pace. It's nice to be able to avoid congested bus or rail schedules and travel early or late.

General insurance categories in Mali:

• Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) - It limits the customer's liability throughout the rental time and sets the maximum damage payment.
• Theft Protection (TP): Reduces your obligation to the vehicle's deductible/excess if your car is stolen (proof required are a police report and the car keys).
• Third Party Liability (TPL) covers material and intangible losses to other people's vehicles, property, and medical expenditures.

Purchase insurance while booking your car:

Prices can vary based on the company, the season, and the vehicle, but most locations offer discounts if you reserve a car prior to your arrival in Mali. The cheapest automatic cars cost from 13$ to 29$ per day. Larger cars can be more expensive due to their higher fuel consumption, so you may want to choose a smaller vehicle, which will also be advantageous on narrower roads.
There is always an increase in demand for car rentals in Mali during the summer months, which drives up the prices. During the off-season, particularly the winter, the prices are significantly lower. The duration of your rental also affects the total price. Typically, renting a vehicle for a longer period of time results in a lower daily rate, thus a five-day rental may cost only somewhat more than a three-day rental. If possible, consider spending at least a week exploring Mali.
