Ground Transportation

Last updated: Jul 20, 2025
Taxis

Official airport taxis are available at designated ranks outside the arrivals terminal. For safety and fixed pricing, it is highly recommended to use popular ride-hailing services like Uber and Bolt, which have designated pick-up zones at the airport. With standard taxis, it is crucial to negotiate and agree on a fare before the trip begins.

Rental Cars

Several car rental companies, including major international brands like Avis and Hertz as well as local providers, have service desks inside the arrivals hall. It is advisable to book a vehicle in advance, especially during peak travel seasons. An International Driving Permit may be required. Driving in Lagos is known for being congested and can be challenging for visitors.

Public Transportation

Direct public transportation from the airport terminals is limited and not typically recommended for first-time visitors. While the city's Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system and local buses operate on nearby main roads, they do not have a dedicated stop at the terminal. Reaching them requires a walk or a short taxi ride. A more reliable option is to check if your hotel provides a private shuttle service.

Ebola Posted by on October 7, 2014

I have a friend trying to fly from Murtala Mohammed but is being told he needs a health certificate costing 500.00 to board the plane back to the U.S. is this true? 500.00 is a ridiculous amount to expect a person to pay to return home.

drug test before boarding plane Posted by on March 20, 2013

I have a friend that has a flight booked and was told there is a drug test that cost $170.00 before my friend can board the plane why is that?

Bta Posted by on March 8, 2013

I dont understand why there have to be a certain amount to have to get toa flight. People are not getting on flights because they don't have 1850. Alot of people have lost their jobs. They are hungry and all the money they have is what is on them. As long as they have a flight they should be able to fly.
