General information

We offer a compact fleet chosen for Boa Vista: electric and range-extender pickups (Geely Radar, Changan Hunter Plus), a compact electric city car (Geely Geome), a compact SUV (Chery Tiggo 3X), and the Benda Redstone 550 R2 quad bike. As the official Benda representative in Cape Verde, our quad fleet is maintained to the manufacturer's standards.

We're based in Sal Rei, Boa Vista. We arrange pickup and drop-off at Boa Vista airport (BVC), in Sal Rei, or at your hotel — just tell us your location when you book.

We operate daily and coordinate pickups around your travel schedule, including early and late arrivals where possible. Message us on WhatsApp to arrange a convenient time.
