Intercity charter · Lagos to Osun State
A Coaster and driver for the Lagos–Ife run, with pickup anywhere in Lagos and travel via the Lagos–Ibadan Expressway. A practical fit for OAU trips, family travel and group bookings that need more seats than a Hiace offers.
Route knowledge
The route runs from your pickup point in Lagos onto the Lagos–Ibadan Expressway, then continues through Ibadan and onto the Ife road, arriving in Ile-Ife via the OAU end of town. Drivers assigned to this route plan around Ibadan traffic and tollgate queues, which make up most of the journey time — the stretch beyond Ibadan is usually the quicker half of the trip.
Ife sees regular group travel from Lagos tied to Obafemi Awolowo University — move-in weekends at the start of session, convocation, matriculation, and parents' visiting days — alongside family visits, weddings and small group trips into Ife town itself. A Coaster suits these trips better than a Hiace when there's luggage, boxes or equipment to move alongside passengers, since it has more room both in the cabin and the rear luggage hold.
Ife sits on the same road as Osogbo, about 45 minutes further along — if your trip also needs to continue to Osogbo, or you're not sure which town your group is actually headed to, mention it when requesting a quote and it can be priced as one route.
Campus travel
OAU trips are the busiest reason Lagos families and student groups book this route. A Coaster works well for start-of-session move-in since it has space for luggage, mattresses, boxes and provisions alongside a full group of students and parents — a Hiace can run out of room quickly once bags are added. For convocation and matriculation weekends, book ahead where possible: those dates draw a spike in demand from Lagos and vehicles fill up in the days before.
