The minimum driving age in Nigeria is 18 years old, though you may not be able to rent a car unless you are over 21. Traffic flows on the right-hand side of the road and passes on the left. All vehicles, whether rental cars or not, are required to have a fire extinguisher, as well as a warning signal. If you find yourself at a marked crosswalk, pedestrians always have the right of way and cars are required to come to a complete stop. Driving while talking on a mobile phone is prohibited unless with a hands-free device.

When paying for rental cars, you will need a credit card with sufficient funds to pay for the deposit and an identification document like a passport or national ID. Take note that the credit card you use must have the name of a person present when picking up the rental car. If you pay for your car rental online before arriving, you will need to use the same card when collecting the rental car in Nigeria.

Question 16

Which areas of Nigeria have the most traffic?

Accepted Answer

Nigeria is a country in West Africa that's well-known for having heavy traffic congestion, especially in some of the main cities. Some of the main contributing factors to traffic congestion in Nigeria include poor driving habits and ineffective driving skills. Lagos, the capital of Nigeria, is by far the largest city in Nigeria and suffers from almost never-ending traffic congestion. Close to half of all the cars in Nigeria are registered in Lagos. If you find yourself in Lagos for a couple of days, we suggest finding a hotel with free parking and navigating the city through the use of taxis or public transport. You won't avoid the congestion, but you'll entrust the trip to a more experienced driver. Commuters in Lagos tend to spend 25% of their day stuck in traffic. Some of the other cities with traffic congestion to avoid with your car hire include Port Harcourt, Abuja, Aba, and Kano.

Question 17

What are the best scenic roads in Nigeria?

Accepted Answer

Nigeria is home to a vast African landscape and boasts a wide range of off the beaten track routes to explore. One of the popular routes to take from Lagos is through the Ijebu Kingdom, which is made up of quaint towns and villages that stretch out to the Ogun State. Start your trip at Lekki Conservation Centre. If you're a fan of fish, take a detour through Epe and head to the fish market to sample the fresh-water catches on offer. The highway through here also leads to Eleko Beach, which is one of the most popular beaches in the country.

To hire a car overseas, you'll generally need to be at least 21, and if you're under 25, a young driver surcharge may be imposed. It's recommended that you review the policy of the rental company you're considering before booking.

Question 21

What documentation or ID do you need to rent a car in Nigeria?

Accepted Answer

To rent a car in Nigeria, all drivers must present a valid full driving license. If the license is written in a language other than the language of the country of rental, an International Driving Permit may be required to avoid the risk of potential fines. If you're renting a car abroad, you may also need to provide evidence of your return travel and accommodation information during your stay. We always recommend that you verify with the specific rental company you're booking with.
