How to Rent Items in Nigeria

Find an item that fits your plans

Start with current rental listings or browse Lagos, Oyo and Abuja. Read the description and check the photos, location and rental rate. Ask whether the item is available for your dates before making arrangements.

If you need a particular vehicle, outfit or piece of equipment, check the current results rather than assuming it is available. Listing stock and owners’ availability can change.

Agree on the rental details

1. Confirm the exact item and dates. Check the model or size, condition, accessories and how long you need it.
2. Clarify the total cost. Check the rate and its period, any deposit, transport costs and any other agreed charges.
3. Arrange pickup and return. Agree on the place and time, how the item should be returned and what happens if plans change.
4. Record the agreement. Keep the details in Reusers chat, including any deposit refund conditions, damage terms and late-return charges.

Fees, rental periods and deposit terms depend on the listing and your agreement with its owner. Check them before paying.

Check the item at handover and return

• Inspect the item and confirm that it matches the description.
• Record its condition and included accessories with photos at pickup and return.
• Use a suitable public meeting place and keep a record of any payments.
• Follow the payment flow shown for the transaction. Confirm direct payments with the payment provider and never share a password, PIN or one-time code.
• Contact the owner promptly if there is a problem. Use Report for suspicious behaviour or contact support for help.
