Top tips for hiring a car in Lagos
- Due to its popularity and the quality of its beaches, Lagos is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the Algarve region of Portugal. This entire stretch of Atlantic Ocean coastline is best discovered with car hire in Lagos, since local transportation lacks the reach, convenience and flexibility to do it justice. The beaches of Monte Gordo are 36 miles east via the A22, while the charms of Lisbon lie 172 miles north along the A2.
- Book your flight and reserve car hire in Lagos at Faro Airport (FAO) to save time and get your explorations off to an immediate start. Avis, Hertz and Guerin are a few of the local and international providers on hand to equip you with a reliable vehicle so you can drive the 13.5 miles to the town. You can find them at the airport’s car hire centre near the P4 parking lot if you follow the signs from the arrivals hall.
- Normal traffic patterns in Lagos tend to be moderate during the morning and evening rush hours. That said, the eastern side of the town along the waterfront is always active with vehicular flow, so expect delays on the N125 inbound and outbound during these periods. Anticipate high levels of pedestrian and cycle traffic throughout the town centre during the afternoon hours. Be advised that there is a massive influx of tourists from June to August, which will cause dramatic increases in overall traffic volumes across town.
- Outside the busy summer season, the peak morning rush lasts from about 07:00 to 08:00. The N125 is an obvious magnet for congestion as it courses through Lagos, and the interchange created with the N120 near the Complexo Desportivo de Lagos is another junction of concern for evening inbound and outbound traffic from 18:00 to 20:00. The entire waterfront complex and the downtown area is a hive of shops and cultural landmarks and so an active area for pedestrian and cycle traffic daily, most notably from 13:00 to 16:00.
- Book your car hire in Lagos at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
FAQs about hiring a car in Lagos
What type of car is recommended for driving in Lagos?
A compact or small economy car is the most affordable and fuel-efficient of the lot, plus it will be better at navigating the tight corners on narrow roads in the older sections of town. If the size of your party requires a larger vehicle, then you should consider an intermediate saloon or passenger van which offers the additional advantages of a more comfortable ride over long distances and more luggage space.
