Taxis: Metered taxis (white and red) are widely available. Negotiate fares beforehand if no meter. Generally affordable and reliable for local travel.
Ride-sharing Apps: Uber and Bolt operate in Accra with fixed pricing via app. Safer and more reliable than street hailing, though slightly more expensive.
Tro-Tro (Minibuses): Colorfully decorated minibuses serving fixed routes. Cheapest option but crowded and infrequent, not recommended for first-time visitors.
Car Rental: International agencies available at airport. Hiring a driver is recommended for safety and navigation. Ghana drives on the right; it switched from left-hand to right-hand traffic in 1974.
The airport is about 10 km from the city centre. Options include airport taxis, ride-sharing, or hotel arrangements. Journey takes 15-30 minutes depending on traffic.
Intercity buses connect Accra to other cities. Companies like STC, Ashanti, and Ayoba operate regular routes to Cape Coast, Kumasi, and other destinations.
