Home  >  World  > Africa  > Chad Travel - Internal AIR: At present the only internal flights are chartered by private companies. Enquire at the Direction de la Promotion Touristique for further details; see Contact Addresses section. ROAD: Travel by road outside N’Djaména is possible by four-wheel-drive vehicle and permits are usually needed. Buses run fairly regularly to Sarh during the dry season. Security conditions and a lack of housing, food, petrol and vehicle repair facilities have resulted in the Government restricting travel, especially in the central and northern areas of the country. Petrol is expensive. Many roads urgently need repair. Traffic drives on the right. Documentation: International Driving Permit required for car hire (which is expensive) as well as an official autorisation de circuler. URBAN: The city of N’Djaména has an adequate road system and there are limited self-drive and chauffeured car hire facilities. Minibuses and taxis operate in N’Djaména, with a flat fare charged. A ten per cent tip is expected by taxi drivers. Copyright © 2003 Columbus Publishing Ltd. Terms and Conditions apply.
