The process of a car reservation on OrangeSmile.com consists of 3 simple steps: (1) search by the dates and pick-up location, (2) car type selection, and (3) booking form completion. After the booking, you will receive a rental voucher at your e-mail address.
Before selecting a specific model to book, check your planned routes. If you are going to drive mostly within the Lagos borders, choose a car of 'Standard' or 'Compact' types. In case you plan long cross-countries trips or mountain adventures, the more comfortable and powerful 'Fullsize' models would become a better choice.
If you need a car with an automatic gearbox, try to make a reservation at least a few days before the pick-up date, since confirmation of such models in Lagos might be delayed for a day or two.
Upon the return of your car, carefully check that the total payment amount (invoice) is computed according to the original rental conditions.
We wish you 'smooth', secure and safe roads in Lagos!
Rental process FAQ
Drivers, who decide to stay in the “green zone” at night, will have to pay a double toll. Budget travelers can look for suitable places for an overnight stay near free roads, but finding such place will be a lot more difficult.
Foreign guests should remember that the driving license received at home is valid only if you have the international driving license. In case you have two driving licenses (a local one and an international one), you should present them together.
Local drivers are not used to driving at low speed, so constant overtaking is absolutely normal here. If you see a car at the back that is moving at high speed, there is no doubt that it will certainly try to overcome all the cars moving ahead. In this case, it is better to move to the right lane as quick as possible and give way to the fast driver.
