Accra to Takoradi is about 220 km along the coast — roughly four hours through Cape Coast and the western towns. It's a well-travelled business route thanks to the port and the oil industry, so finding a carrier heading that way is rarely a problem.

What it costs

For a small parcel, senders typically agree somewhere in the GH₵ 90–160 range on this lane — you post your maximum and let transporters bid under it. Because so many drivers run Accra–Takoradi for work, the competition keeps prices sensible. See where it sits against other routes in the price guide.
