A well-planned booking starts with realistic dates, a precise handover point and a coherent route. On cotonoudrive.com, the cars shown match the requested period; offer details and the total are presented before confirmation.

Prepare your request

Note your flight or appointment time, passenger count, luggage volume and main stops. For travel beyond urban roads, include the destination in your request so that you can choose a suitable category.

Useful information
Pick-up and return dates, location, passenger count, luggage and main route.
After your request
Keep access to the email used for the booking: it links you to tracking, payment and related documents.

Before leaving

Check handover time, fuel or charge level, tyre pressure and the support contact. Take time to photograph the condition report with the agent.

Choosing the car

A city car suits most urban travel. For luggage, longer stays or tracks, prefer an SUV or 4×4. Ask for advice if your itinerary leaves the main roads.
