Cross-border charter · Nigeria to Benin Republic
A Coaster and driver for the Lagos–Cotonou run, with pickup anywhere in Lagos and travel via the Seme border. Suited to group travel, church and school trips, corporate delegations and family outings crossing into Benin Republic.
Route knowledge
The route runs from your pickup point in Lagos out along the Lagos–Badagry Expressway to the Seme border, then on to Cotonou. Drivers assigned to this route are experienced with the crossing and know how to keep paperwork and boarding moving so groups aren't held up longer than necessary.
Journey time depends mainly on how long the border takes rather than the road itself — on a smooth day the trip can be done in a morning; on a busy one, build in extra time. We recommend an early departure and travel documents ready in hand before boarding.
