KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Lagos

  • Car hire in Lagos is your best option if you want to have the comfort of your own transport and not be subjected to busy and congested public transport. The roads in Lagos are not very well-maintained and you need to drive with extreme caution as a lot of drivers drive very fast on motorways and there are a huge amount of cars on the road. Why not have the luxury of air conditioning and the choice to map your own route at your own times with a Lagos car hire.
  • Murtala Muhammed International Airport is the main airport and is your best option for car hire in Lagos. You can choose from 4 major car rental companies like Hertz, Sixt, Europcar and Budget and the car rental desks are found at both Arrivals D and Arrivals E in the International Terminal. You might want to consider checking with the car rental company If they have the option of assisted drivers. Travelling in Nigeria is not always safe and you might find it more helpful with the assistance of a local driver who knows how to navigate the roads well.
  • It is no walk in the park driving in Lagos so you are going to have to have your wits about you. The roads are not well-maintained and the sheer amount of commuters can be disconcerting. There are buses, trucks, SUV’s and huge amounts of ‘okado’ motorbikes you need to be aware of. The Danfo’s or small passenger taxis are a menace and you need to be aware that they won’t see you; you will need to watch out for them.
  • Besides the congested and somewhat chaotic road systems, Lagos is known for its torrential downpours, which will make the roads challenging at times. Rather check the weather forecast and if rain is planned, stay put for the day. It is advisable to see if you can hire a local driver to assist as driving in Lagos is highly stressful. Potholes are a known danger and everyone drives to their own rules. There are frequent gridlocks that can occur so planning ahead in Lagos is your best friend. Obey the rules and make sure you have all your necessary car hire papers with you to avoid any run-ins with the traffic police.

  • Where are the best places to park in Lagos?

    Depending on what your route is for the day, it is almost always the safest to park in closed or undercover parking lot. There is the option for you to park your car on the streets but this is unsafe and you will most likely come back to find a scratch or ding on your bumper. This is not advisable in a rental car in Lagos, so check what parking lots are closest to you and then plan your trip for the day to avoid any unnecessary insurance claims.
