Moving a pet across Lagos is a small logistical detail most people don't think about until moving day — here's what actually helps.
Whether it's a relocation, a vet visit, or picking up a new puppy, ToTrip Car Rental Services occasionally arranges vehicles for clients travelling with pets. It's a smaller category of booking than most, but a few specific things make it go smoothly.
Tell Us In Advance, Not At Pickup
Letting our team know you'll be travelling with a pet, and roughly its size, lets us assign a vehicle with enough space for a carrier or crate and prepare the car appropriately beforehand, rather than trying to make it work on the spot.
Secure Carriers Are Strongly Recommended
An unrestrained pet moving freely inside a car is a safety risk for the animal and a distraction for the driver, particularly in Lagos's stop-start traffic. A secured carrier or crate, sized appropriately for your pet, is the safest way to travel and something we can help plan around if you don't have one with you.

Longer Trips Need A Water And Rest Plan
If your trip is longer than a short local run, plan for a brief stop along the way, particularly in warmer conditions. Mentioning this when booking means your driver can factor a short stop into the route rather than treating the trip as a straight point-to-point drive.
"It's a small thing, but a driver who knows a pet is on board drives differently — smoother braking, fewer sudden stops. It matters."

Vehicle Cleaning Between Bookings
Our fleet is cleaned between every booking as standard practice, which covers pet-related bookings as well. If you have specific concerns about allergies or vehicle condition, raising them at booking lets our team assign accordingly.
