Traffic drives on the right. Tarred roads run to the border countries and the major northern route is called 'The Highway of Unity'. There are roads linking most settlements, but these are largely impassable during the rainy season. Police checkpoints are frequent and may cause delays. It is advisable to keep windows rolled up and doors locked.

Bus/taxi: National bus, minibus and taxi systems are reasonably efficient and cheap. Taxis and minibuses are widely available in Lomé and shared taxis are available between towns. There is a surcharge for luggage. Drivers do not expect a tip.

Cycling: Bicycles can be hired in large towns and often incur less delays than cars.

Car hire:
This is available in Lomé; elsewhere the cost of car hire is very high and it is usually better to hire a taxi.

Documentation: An International Driving Permit is required.
