Travelling with a wheelchair or other mobility needs in Lagos is entirely manageable with the right planning — the key is telling us what you need before the day, not on arrival.
ToTrip Car Rental Services regularly arranges transport for clients travelling with a wheelchair, walking aid or other mobility requirement, and the trips that go smoothly are the ones where we know the specifics in advance — the equipment involved, the level of assistance needed, and the vehicle that will actually work for the trip.
What "Accessible" Currently Means For Our Fleet
Rather than a single fixed answer, accessibility needs vary a lot from client to client — some travellers need a vehicle with more interior space and an easier transfer height, others need a driver comfortable helping load a folding wheelchair, and some need both. For clients requiring accessibility support, the most reliable approach is to contact us directly on +2349137818188 to discuss suitable vehicle options for your specific trip, rather than assuming a one-size-fits-all vehicle covers every situation.
Booking With Enough Notice
♿ What To Share When You Book
The more notice we have, the better we can match the right vehicle and, where needed, confirm a driver comfortable providing physical assistance. A same-day request limits our options considerably compared to a booking made even a few days out.
Vehicle Types That Work Best
SUVs and larger vehicles like the Toyota Prado or Toyota Sienna generally offer easier entry height and more interior room to manoeuvre than a standard saloon car, which makes them a common recommendation for clients with mobility needs. The right choice still depends on your specific equipment and how you prefer to transfer, so this is worth confirming directly rather than assuming.
Driver Assistance With Mobility Equipment
Where a client needs help folding, loading or unloading a wheelchair or other equipment, let us know at booking so we can confirm a driver who's able to assist comfortably. This is something we're glad to accommodate — it just needs to be part of the booking conversation rather than a surprise on pickup day.
"We'd always rather have the conversation about mobility needs before the trip than find out what's actually required when the car pulls up. It genuinely changes which vehicle and driver make sense."
— ToTrip Car Rental Services, Client Advisory Team
Airport-Specific Considerations
For airport pickups specifically, factor in that the distance from the terminal exit to the vehicle pickup point at Murtala Muhammed International Airport can be considerable, and let your driver know if you'll need them to come closer to the terminal doors or assist over that distance. See our MMIA airport pickup guide for the general layout this sits within.

Call To Discuss Your NeedsWhat To Confirm Before You Book
Before your trip, confirm: the mobility equipment involved, whether you'll need physical assistance from your driver, the vehicle type that suits your transfer preference, and enough advance notice for us to arrange the right car and driver for the day.
