A price fixed before you fly, and someone holding your name at arrivals.
The first trip is the one that gets negotiated worst, because it gets negotiated tired, at the arrivals exit. Taxis have no meters: the opening price moves with the hour, the neighbourhood and how well you negotiate, and a night arrival costs 50 to 100% more.
The driver tracks your flight and waits up to an hour after you actually land, not the scheduled time. Allow 30 to 60 minutes at immigration and 20 to 40 for bags: a transfer timed against the timetable leaves without you.
That is why the flight number is asked for at booking. Without it there is nothing to track.
These are observed ranges, not an official tariff. There is no regulated price for car hire in Cameroon.

The price is negotiated; there are no meters. 5,000 XAF is often quoted, but the realistic range is 5,000 to 15,000 depending on the hour, the neighbourhood and the negotiation.
Agencies sign themselves up, but no vehicle appears here until we have been to see it and photograph it. You book a car we have confirmed exists, not an image found online. Tell us your dates and we will write as soon as an agency is ready in Douala or Yaounde.
