Frequently asked questions
Who typically books an armored vehicle?
Armored Prado rental is most often booked for diplomatic movements, corporate executives, high-profile visitors and political figures. See the VIP and executive protection guide and the diplomatic delegations guide for related travel planning.
What should you know about armor levels and vehicle specification?
Armored vehicles are built to different protection levels, and specification can vary between units in a fleet. Ask the rental company directly which armor standard their vehicle is built to and request documentation before booking, rather than assuming a fixed level.
What should you know about availability and lead time?
Armored vehicles are a small, specialized part of any Lagos fleet, so availability is far more limited than a standard Prado. Book as early as possible, and confirm the exact vehicle and its condition ahead of your date rather than at pickup.
What should you know about chauffeur and security coordination?
An armored vehicle is typically paired with a chauffeur trained for the vehicle's added weight and handling characteristics. If a separate close-protection team is also required, coordinate this with the rental company in advance, since it is arranged separately from the vehicle itself.
