KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Lagos

  • Lagos, Nigeria, is a huge city, and there's no better way to explore it than with a car rental in Lagos. Lagos does have public transportation options, but it can take a while to get to your destination when using them as they rely on preset schedules. Additionally, they tend to get quite crowded. Lagos car rentals offer a way of moving around with much-needed flexibility. You can easily explore top destinations like Ida Idungaran and Jaekel House with a rental car.

Ridiculous. Canceled my reservation without notifying me. Called and left a call back number for a rebooking, never called me back for entire duration of my trip. Unprofessional and undeserving of customers’ trust.
