Airport to Lagos City Center Transport

Transport from Murtala Muhammed International Airport to Lagos city center includes public buses from nearby stops, pre-arranged hotel or airport shuttles, taxis, rental cars, and private transfers. Travel times vary widely with Lagos traffic, especially toward Lagos Island, Marina, CMS, and Victoria Island.

Bus

Municipal and local buses do not usually depart directly from the international arrivals door. Passengers typically walk or take a short local ride to nearby Airport/Ikeja bus stops or connect via Oshodi Interchange, then continue toward central Lagos. Average journey time to Lagos Island or CMS is about 70 to 100 minutes, depending on transfers and traffic.

• Airport/Ikeja bus stop to Oshodi Interchange
• Oshodi to CMS or Marina
• Oshodi to Obalende
• Ikeja to Obalende or Lagos Island connections

Airport Shuttle

There is no Havas or Havabus service at Murtala Muhammed International Airport; those brands are associated with other airport networks. In Lagos, shuttle options are usually hotel shuttles, corporate shuttles, or pre-booked shared airport rides. Average journey time to central Lagos is around 45 to 90 minutes.

• Hotel shuttle to Ikeja hotels
• Hotel shuttle to Victoria Island
• Pre-arranged shuttle to Ikoyi
• Shared transfer stop near Marina or CMS, if offered by the operator

Taxi

Taxis are available 24/7 outside the airport terminals and are one of the most straightforward ways to travel from Murtala Muhammed International Airport to Lagos city center. Agree the fare before starting the trip, or use a ride-hailing app where available. Average journey time is about 45 to 75 minutes, but peak-hour traffic can make the trip longer.

Car Rental

Car rental companies operate from airport offices and arrivals-area desks, with vehicle pickup usually arranged at or near the terminal exit. Because Lagos traffic can be challenging, many visitors choose a chauffeur-driven rental instead of self-drive. Average driving time to the city center is about 45 to 90 minutes.

Transfer

A private airport transfer is the most convenient option for first-time visitors, late arrivals, business travelers, or passengers with luggage. Booking in advance is recommended so the driver can track your flight, meet you at arrivals, and take you directly to Lagos Island, Marina, CMS, Victoria Island, Ikoyi, or your hotel. Average journey time is about 45 to 90 minutes.
