Car Rental in Oyo

Travelling in and to Oyo: routes, vehicles and tips

Getting from Lagos to Oyo State

Most trips to Oyo State start on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway. From Ibadan, the road continues through Oyo Town to Ogbomoso, which is the main route into northern Oyo State. Iseyin and Saki branch off further along, so they usually mean an overnight or multi-day booking.

For long runs like these, many clients choose a chauffeur so one driver covers the whole route. Approximate distances and drive times for each town are on the Lagos to Oyo State car rental page.

Choosing the right vehicle for an Oyo trip

A saloon such as the Toyota Camry or Corolla suits one or two people on a straightforward run. A Toyota Sienna suits a family with luggage, and an executive SUV such as the Prado or Lexus suits business travel. For larger groups, ToTrip also offers Toyota Hiace and Coaster bus rental, and a Rolls Royce is available chauffeur-driven for weddings.

Places and occasions in Oyo State

Oyo Town is known as the historic seat of the Alaafin. Ogbomoso is home to the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, which draws visits for matriculation and graduation. Iseyin is known for aso-oke weaving, and Old Oyo National Park is a popular day trip. Clients also book cars for weddings, naming ceremonies, church and mosque programmes and family events across the state.

Booking tips for Oyo State

Give your pickup point and the date first, then list every town you want to reach, so the route can be quoted in one go. Book early for weekends and wedding season, and confirm the return time and location when you book. Self-drive clients should have their licence and ID ready before the handover.
