Eritrea Getting Around

Getting Around by Road
Bus: Services connect all larger towns and cities. There are usually two buses per day to larger towns and one bus per day to smaller towns. They leave a destination when full.
Taxi: These can be found in the capital and at the airport. They usually carry multiple passengers and there is a tendency not to wear a seat belt. For a higher fee travellers can hire a taxi for themselves. Fares are higher at night (usually double) and should be negotiated in advance as taxis are not metered.
Car hire: Cars can be booked through the Eritrean Tour Service (see Contact Addresses).
Documentation: An International Driving Permit is required.
Note: A permit is required by the Ministry of Tourism in Eritrea to travel to all areas except Keren, Dekemhare, Mendeferra and Massawa. They are usually granted on the day an application is submitted.
