Getting around

To the airport the taxi fare is about CFA1000 (but count on CFA1500 from the airport into the city).

Avis (221 05 82; 252 Blvd du 13 Janvier) also has a branch at Hôtel Mecure-Sarakawa.

Taxis are abundant, and have no meters. Fares are CFA200 for a shared taxi (CFA300 after 6pm, more to outlying areas) and CFA700 nonshared. A taxi by the hour should cost CFA2500. Zippy little taxi-motos are popular, if dangerous, and should go anywhere in the centre for CFA200.
