Before you rent

Driving in São Tomé: what to know

The coastal road links the city to the North (Neves, Santa Catarina) and the South (São João dos Angolares, Porto Alegre). Some stretches are good tarmac, others have potholes. Plantations, waterfalls and hidden beaches are reached on dirt tracks, and in the rainy season a 4x4 jeep makes all the difference. Traffic drives on the right.

Fuel: There are petrol stations in São Tomé city and in a few villages. Always fill up before heading south or inland.

Itinerary: With 3 or 4 days by car you see the essentials: the North and the Blue Lagoon, the centre and the coffee plantations, the east coast with Boca do Inferno, and the South from Pico Cão Grande to Praia Inhame.

Documents: Bring a valid driving licence and your passport or ID. All cars are insured. In our reply to your request we send the rental terms: insurance cover, deposit and delivery.
