GET AROUND · SÃO TOMÉ AND PRÍNCIPE
Rental Cars. Trusted Partners. Optional Drivers.
The roads here are real. You will want a 4×4 for the south coast and the rougher tracks, and you will want it waiting at the airport. We work with São Tomé's most reliable rental partners to make that simple.
Airport Delivery
Your car waiting when you land. No taxi to the rental office. Hotel pickup also available.
Local Partners
Insured fleets from independent São Tomé rental partners. Full insurance, 24-hour roadside support.
Driver Optional
Self-drive or add a local driver-guide. Tell us what you need. We arrange both.

The 2024 is the newest and most refined of our three Jimnys. Four seats, manual, full insurance.
