Frequently asked questions
What should you know about visibility on hazy mornings?
Harmattan haze cuts visibility sharply in the early morning and late evening. The Prado's higher driving position and full set of working lights make it easier for a chauffeur to judge distance and spot hazards than in a lower saloon car.
What should you know about dust and cabin air quality?
Dust gets into everything during harmattan. Rental vehicles are cleaned and their cabin filters checked between bookings so the interior stays comfortable on longer trips.
What should you know about dry road surfaces, different risks?
Unlike the rainy season, harmattan roads are dry, but dust on the tarmac and reduced tyre grip on some stretches still call for a careful, experienced driver, which is part of why most clients choose the chauffeur-driven option.
What should you know about early morning and evening trips?
If your travel falls in the low-visibility windows around dawn or dusk, mention this when booking so the right vehicle and driver are assigned.
