Do you rent cars for trips outside Nigeria?+
Yes. ToTrip Car Rental Service Limited provides chauffeur-driven cross-border car rental from Lagos to Cotonou (Benin Republic), Lomé (Togo) and Accra (Ghana), crossing out of Nigeria at the Seme-Krake border.
What is the difference between interstate and cross-border car rental?+
Interstate car rental covers trips between Nigerian states, such as Lagos to Ibadan or Abuja. Cross-border, international or inter-country car rental means leaving Nigeria and crossing at least one international border, which brings passport, vehicle documentation and border timing into the plan.
Which countries can I travel to from Lagos with ToTrip?+
ToTrip covers the coastal West Africa corridor: Benin Republic (Cotonou), Togo (Lomé) and Ghana (Accra). Cotonou is a short crossing, Lomé involves two border crossings and Accra involves three.
How far is Cotonou from Lagos by car?+
Cotonou is roughly 120km from Lagos via the Seme-Krake border and usually takes 2 to 3 hours once clear of Lagos exit traffic. A same-day round trip is realistic.
Can I do Lagos to Lomé or Lagos to Accra in one day?+
Lomé is a full day's drive at minimum and most clients break it with a stop in Cotonou. Accra involves three border crossings and is best planned as a multi-day trip with at least one overnight stop.
What documents do I need to travel from Lagos to another country by road?+
A valid international or ECOWAS passport is essential, along with the vehicle's cross-border documentation. ToTrip confirms the exact current requirements for each border before your travel date is fixed, since conditions at the borders can change.
Is self-drive allowed on cross-border trips?+
Self-drive can be arranged for experienced travellers on the shorter Cotonou route. For Lomé and Accra, chauffeur-driven is strongly recommended because of the distance, multiple border crossings and unfamiliar roads.
Does ToTrip really operate these routes, or hand them to another company?+
ToTrip Car Rental Service Limited operates the cross-border routes itself rather than passing clients to a local operator in Benin, Togo or Ghana.
Can I rent a bus or van for a group going to Ghana or Togo?+
Yes. ToTrip has Mercedes Sprinter options for group travel from Lagos to Ghana and Togo. See the Sprinter pages linked below, or send your group size on WhatsApp.
Can ToTrip pick me up from the airport and take me across the border?+
Yes. There is a direct shuttle from MMIA Lagos airport to Cotonou for travellers connecting on from the airport.
How do I book a car rental from Lagos to another country?+
Send your travel dates, destination, group size and whether you want a same-day, overnight or multi-day trip to ToTrip on WhatsApp or by phone. ToTrip confirms the vehicle, driver and documentation before your dates are fixed.
