What is the most popular rental car category in Nigeria?
Comfortable, practical, and economical — it isn't difficult to see why intermediate cars are the most sought-after rental category in Nigeria. These versatile vehicles are great for travelers who need more storage space but also want their car to be compact enough to easily maneuver the tight streets of Lagos and Kano. Whether you're going on a prolonged road trip or traveling for work reasons, you're sure to find the perfect set of wheels in our excellent intermediate collection.It's always a nice idea to take time out from the city, and if you do, get ready to be richly rewarded. With sandy shores, tablelands, and foothills to see, Nigeria is ripe for exciting day trips. A larger vehicle like a four-wheel drive or an SUV will give you and the crew more space and comfort for those longer rides.
Should I get a luxury rental car in Nigeria?
You'll be pleased to hear that there's a broad range of both economy and high-end rental vehicles on offer in Nigeria. What you go with will depend on how much you want to spend and what you're hoping to do. Prestige vehicles are all about comfort and class. If you're splurging, why not pick a fully kitted-out SUV, or perhaps a cushy mid-size sedan? Otherwise, if you're just after a car to zip around town in as cheaply as possible, you're better off going with a versatile compact vehicle (or something else that won't blow your budget).
What happens if I get a speeding fine while driving a rental car in Nigeria?
Usually, your rental car company will bill the fined amount to your credit card. Alternatively, the company may provide your contact details to the relevant local law enforcement agency so they can issue a fine to you directly.
