Hitchhiking in '''Ethiopia''' is a pretty impossible task. The country is extremely poor and hardly anyone has cars. As well, Ethiopians will most likely see a hitcher as having a robbery or banditry motive without forgetting that hitching is an unknown concept and usually only taxis will stop to pick you up. In rural areas 'faranji' might hitch with NGO's or some private cars when public transport is absent, but payment will be expected in matter to contribute with the high cost of fuel.

The country's Car License Plate system is based on a specific system, The colour state the status of the ownership (''Blue'' for Private / ''Black'' for Government / ''Orange'' for Businesses or NGOs / ''Red'' for Taxis). The NGOs plate always starts with a number (35 being the general trend, other numbers simply specify a country of origin of the organisation) while CD (White/Yellow/Black) represents the embassies cars and the first number specifies the country. Also appears on the License Plate the 2 letters of the city of registration, both in latin alphabet and amharic. For example AA stand for Addis Ababa.
