If your trip to Taifa is all organized but your travel itinerary is looking a little empty, let us give you a helping hand.Nothing tops a little insider knowledge when it comes to attractions and experiences. Book your rental car with CarRentals.com, ask the locals what’s good and then hit the highway!

Situated 3 miles from Taifa is Achimota Golf Club. This is a terrific place to swing by while you’re passing through, so why not add it to your itinerary?

Nothing screams vacation like loading up the car with supplies and heading to the coast. Taifa has some gorgeous beaches close by, so bring along a good book (and a kite if the wind’s up) and make your way to one of these popular options:

• Labadi Beach (10 miles away).
• Teshie Beach (12 miles away).
• Kokrobite Beach (13 miles away).

If you’re eager to get out and rub shoulders with new people, participating in an event at Accra International Conference Centre is a terrific idea. You’ll find it 8 miles from Taifa, so look through the conference calendar and see what appeals.

Taifa is a little outside of central Accra, so there’s a good chance you’ll be doing a fair amount of driving. If you are thinking of using Taifa as a base from which to discover the city and its surroundings, opt for a smaller car. There’s nothing like a compact vehicle for maneuvering into those tiny parking spots. Alternatively, if you’re heading away from the bright lights and traffic, reserve something with a stronger engine and more storage. Not many people regret spending that little bit extra on a full-size or an SUV.

For some people, owning a luxury vehicle is the stuff of fairy tales. But renting the car of your dreams is far more achievable than you might think! Imagine cruising into town in a snazzy sports car, even if it’s just for a short while. Or maybe all you’re chasing is a cheap ride to get you from A to B. Extravagant or economical? Whatever you decide, there’s a rental car to suit your style in Taifa.

With a population of approximately 1,963,300, expect to encounter moderate traffic in Accra. This includes the neighborhood of Taifa. If you want to get to your destination faster, stay off the road during the early and late peak hours.

Depending on the hour and the day, you should be able to score a car space without much worry. Some advice — before walking away from your car, be sure to read the signage. The last thing you need is a fine on your getaway!

Most of the time, your chosen rental car company will bill the fined amount to your credit card. Alternatively, the company may provide your contact information to the relevant local law enforcement agency so they can send a fine directly to you.
