Self-drive rental
Straightforward if you have the paperwork: you collect a clean vehicle and bring it back a full twenty-four hours later, at the fuel level you found it. The requirements below are not negotiable — they exist because the vehicle is worth several years of rental income, and the deposit is what makes the daily rate possible.
For clients who prefer their own company. A full 24 hours to the day, a valid licence, two forms of ID and a refundable deposit; we handle the paperwork in one sitting.

Questions we get asked
If yours is not here, ask us directly.
How much is the security deposit?
It depends on the vehicle — higher-value cars carry a higher deposit. We tell you the exact amount when we confirm your booking, before you commit to anything.
When do I get the deposit back?
Within five working days of returning the vehicle undamaged, fuelled and on time. If there are traffic fines still working their way through the system, we hold back only the amount at issue and release the rest.
How is fuel handled?
We note the fuel level when you collect the vehicle, and you return it at that same level. If it comes back lower we charge the shortfall at pump price. Bring it back fuller and we will not charge you less, so there is nothing to gain from overfilling.
Does a day mean twenty-four hours?
Yes. Self-drive is a full twenty-four hours from collection, unlike chauffeur-driven hire, which is a twelve-hour day because a driver's working hours are part of what you are paying for.
Is there a mileage limit?
Not within Lagos. Taking the vehicle outside Lagos State requires our agreement in advance — insurance terms change at the state line, and doing it without telling us is a breach of the agreement that attracts a penalty. Ask first and it is usually fine.
Can someone else drive the car?
Only if they are named on the agreement and we have seen their licence. An unnamed driver invalidates the insurance, which puts the full value of the vehicle on you.
