Information & Facts
Car Rental
All the main car hire companies, and some local ones, have
representatives at the airport, but it is preferable to have
reserved your vehicle in advance.
City Transfers
Buses and taxis are available.
Contacts
Departure Tax
Facilities
The airport has a bureau de change, post office and a
bar/restaurant, but service is unreliable.
Language
French is the official language, but Lingala, Kingwana,
Kikongo and Tshiluba are also spoken.
Money
The official currency is the Congolese Franc (CDF). Credit cards
have a very limited use, as do traveller cheques, usually only in
Kinshasa. It is best to take US dollars in hard currency. Banks are
closed on weekends and credit cards cannot be used to obtain cash
advances. The economy is highly unstable in the Congo, and
therefore denominations of currency and exchange rates are subject
to change at short notice.
Time
GMT +1 in the west (Kinshasa) and GMT +2 in the east.
