Lekki Hotels with Reliable Airport Shuttle Service
Hotel shuttle van at Murtala Muhammed International Airport
Eight hotels that will actually pick you up from Murtala Muhammed — because the 40km trip from the airport is where a lot of Lagos trips go wrong.
The ones that deliver
Eko Hotel, Radisson Blu Anchorage, Lagos Continental, and The Wheatbaker all run confirmed paid transfers with tracked vehicles and a driver who knows how to get from the international terminal to the Third Mainland Bridge without adding an hour. Expect to pay ₦35,000-₦55,000 one-way depending on hour and traffic. Book by email at least 48 hours ahead and always reconfirm the day before — driver assignments shift.
Deeper into Lekki, Lakowe Lakes and Landmark handle transfers competently but charge closer to ₦60,000-₦80,000 because the drive is longer and often two hours in evening traffic. Bon Hotel branches run shuttles on request but the vehicles are older and the drivers less experienced with the airport approach roads.
What to watch for
The airport-to-Lekki drive is 35-45km and takes 90 minutes to 3 hours depending on time of day. Never accept a shuttle quote that doesn’t specify the vehicle type — a hotel Toyota Camry is not the same as an unmarked Highlander someone hailed on WhatsApp. Ask for the driver's name and plate number in writing before you land, and match them at arrivals. Meet-and-greet at international arrivals is inside the terminal past customs; do not walk out to the general car park.
If your hotel doesn’t run its own shuttle, Uber and Bolt work from the airport but surge heavily after international arrivals. LagosRide and a handful of vetted operators like TripFactory are safer for first-time visitors.
Before you book
What people ask before booking Epe.
Rarely. Hotel shuttles cost 40-60% more than Uber, but you get a known driver, a fixed price, and no surge — worth it for late-night arrivals.
Yes, and most hotels discount the round trip by 10-15%. Book both legs at check-in rather than at check-out.
