Frequently asked

Armoured Hiace FAQs

What level of protection does the vehicle have?

Specifications vary by unit and by client requirement. Ask our dispatch desk for the exact protection level and supporting documentation for the specific vehicle before booking.

Is a driver included in the price?

Yes. Coaster and Hiace rentals are dispatched with a driver specifically briefed on your route. Self-drive is not offered on the Coaster or Hiace; it is available only on the Toyota Sienna.

How much notice do you need for an armoured booking?

More than a standard rental — armoured vehicles are a smaller part of the fleet, so book as early as possible, especially for airport or event dates.

Is the armoured Hiace suitable for a small executive team?

Yes. With 14 to 18 seats, it suits executive teams, small delegations and VIP visits.

Can I see the exact vehicle before I book?

Ask our dispatch desk for photos and documentation of the specific unit. We send these before you confirm.

Can I hire the armoured Hiace for a whole week or month?

Yes. Daily, weekly and monthly terms are available, and every term includes a driver.

Does the armoured Hiace go outside Lagos?

Yes. We run armoured Hiace trips to Cotonou and Ghana, and intercity trips are quoted per route.

What it's used for

Where the armoured Hiace makes sense

Booked when the client specifically asks for a hardened vehicle — typically corporate security policy, VIP visits or routes flagged as higher risk.

Choosing the right vehicle

Armoured Hiace or armoured Coaster?

The armoured Hiace seats 14 to 18 passengers. It suits executive teams, small delegations and VIP visits where a lower profile and easier movement through city traffic matter. A smaller vehicle is also simpler to position at a hotel, office or residence.

If the group is larger or you are moving a full delegation together, look at the armoured Toyota Coaster, which seats 30 to 33. For a plain non-armoured Hiace, see Hiace bus rental in Lagos.

Before you book

What to ask before you rent an armoured vehicle

Ask for the protection level in writing. Specifications vary by unit, so request the exact level and supporting documentation for the vehicle you will actually get.

Ask for photos of the specific unit. The photos on this page show the reinforced door and cabin lining. Confirm what the dispatched vehicle looks like.

Agree the route and timings in advance. The driver is briefed on your route, so the more you share early, the better the plan.

Decide how long you need it. Daily, weekly and monthly terms are available, and every term includes a driver. See when you need an armoured vehicle in Lagos for help deciding.
