The best type of car hire in Lagos is an SUV. The majority of cars on the road are 4x4s or SUVs to help navigate the sometimes potholed and bumpy dirt roads.

Book your chosen SUV through KAYAK in advance to make sure you get the car you need as they are very popular in Lagos.

For a car hire in Lagos, different vehicles are required to keep within specified speed limits. There is a maximum speed of 100 km (62 mph) on motorways, although the road rules are not always maintained in Lagos, so you need to drive with caution. Taxis and Buses should stick to the 50 km (30 mph) limit within built up areas in towns, cities and villages. As a general rule, look out for any particular speed limit signs and watch out for traffic police.

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.
