When choosing car rentals in Lagos, consider the amount of luggage and number of people you intend to travel with to choose the right car. A car's safety features and fuel economy are also important aspects. The streets in Lagos can get quite busy, so we recommend driving a compact vehicle for easier navigation and parking. Compact cars also excel in fuel economy. Consider renting an SUV if you're traveling as a small group of up to five with three or fewer bags. A minivan is great for travelers with more luggage.
