Lagos car rentals

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.

Speed limits in the town of Lagos follow the national regulation which is 90km/h (55mph), but you may encounter reduced speed signs in populated districts and the town centre. Along dual carriageways, highways and expressways, the maximum speed mandated by law when driving with Lagos car hire is 120km/h (75mph). Be advised that there may be traffic cameras along major roads and some of the expressways are toll roads, so keep some change handy and drive with caution.

On-street parking is in plentiful supply across the town of Lagos, but is at something of a premium during the peak summer months when the town becomes inundated with tourist traffic. There are several public parking garages near the waterfront and Marina de Lagos which are free of charge. Other pay-and-display car parks can be found around town, where you can pay anywhere from €0.80 (£0.70) to €1.20 (£1.05) depending on the location.
